As a parent, I get it. But Dems can’t run around for a decade screaming β€˜existential threat to democracy and the rule of law’ and then thumb our noses at the rule of law. This was a decision by a dad, not a commander in chief. Dems need to own this and stop making excuses.

Sounds familiar.
β€œGOP lawmakers have also introduced a measure to raise the threshold for amending the state constitution through voter initiatives, which could make it harder to pass similar measures in the future.”

Could the international community just not give America anymore ideas, please?

FOIA advocates are always watching. It’s kind of our thing.

Don’t mind me. I’m just over here mourning the rule of law with my morning coffee.

Have a little political come to Jesus with your turkey (and me and @ashleyinarkansas.bsky.social and @blakesrutherford.bsky.social ). Happy Thanksgiving, friends and patriots.

But how do we know this isn’t the fake Jen trying to convince us the real Jen is the fake Jen? Btw, I’m also Jen, suffering through my love hate relationship with social media.

Whit would love to join you, but prioritize kids in your district first. In the meantime, I’m check in with Hester to see if he’s interested in a precocious 10YO with lots of questions.

I just signed my kid up through this site, but we’re not in your district. Does this link work for other Senators as well? Kids not in your district?

Do you know how far in advance of Election Day she gave it to the post office?

Ask. We can’t fix it until we know what happened. Call her county clerk. They’ll have the records.

And may need General Assembly to require some of that data to be generated by election admins. Some of that data is not collected. I’d be happy to help with generating the right FOIA requests if there’s a research group equipped to analyze it.

@knetterstrom.bsky.social how do we break down the numbers on the 49% of adults that did not vote? How many can’t because of a felony conviction? How many voted in a previous election? How many were purged? Presented to vote but were given a provisional ballot? Never received an absentee?

Y’all. He was literally in an internment camp. We’re gonna be alright.

Republican moves to bar trans colleague from women's bathrooms - BBC News The measure is introduced just weeks after Sarah McBride became the first-ever openly transgender lawmaker elected to the House.

I support the freedom of Americans to use the nearest available bathroom when they need to pee. Congress is a joke. This conversation is a waste of taxpayer money.

Voters will blame the Biden economy this Christmas. He’ll get a pass for 1-2 years.

Jury showed mercy by giving her life over death. Violent criminals belong in prison. These are the crimes prisons should be built for.

This tracks here in Arkansas as well. Despite legislative efforts to put election administration in political party control, our Courts are still listening to voters. Not so much special interest groups. But they listened to the voters in West Memphis this cycle.
