So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion. That's roughly $1 billion per day. $41,666,667 per hour. $11,574 per second. People do not want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

And that’s how congressional hearings are supposed to work. Hopefully there will be some fraud charges to go with it. But way to shit your pants and change your shirt, Trump.

OPINION: In his latest column, @sonnyalbarado.bsky.social considers the governor's decision to schedule a special election for the vacant Senate District 26 seat in June 2026, which would deprive the district's voters of representation during the fiscal session in April. #arpx buff.ly/HUkiBWM

I know our governor made an exceedingly rare course correction when she moved the special election up a few months, but she’s still in violation of the law, and the people of Senate District 26β€”and my former colleagueβ€”deserve more respect. #ARpx (1/2)

The daughter of late State Sen. Gary Stubblefield, who died earlier this month, says Gov. Sanders' plan to hold the special election to fill his seat after the fiscal session is disrespectful to her father's legacy and unfair to residents of the district.

Thank you to Phillips County and the Elaine Massacre Museum.

The cost of Gov. Sanders' voucher subsidies for private school/homeschool parents will top $326M this year, according to Arkansas Dept. of Ed. -- nearly $50M more than what legislators have appropriated. All that money and not a single public school helped in any way, shape or form.
