Good for Washington Co for telling Chump's goons to fuck off. Interesting that Pulaski Co was the only other County the DOJ wanted to "supervise." For those not in AR, Washington Co is home to the UofA, and Pulaski Co is home to the capital & a large Black community) www.4029tv.com/article/wash...
Today, planet Earth is a little darker. NGL, I'm a little emotional about this.
My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.
So we know Russia is meddling in our elections (again). Why is our national security doung nothing to stop it? And why are the people spreading it not being investigated for treason??? www.4029tv.com/article/russ...
This is just further proof that we need a public social media platform, not owned by billionaires. newrepublic.com/post/216973/... via @newrepublic.com
Of course Cottonmouth and Chump's labor sec. like these kinds of programs. They want to force EVERYONE, including disabled folks, to work. www.4029tv.com/article/sena...
Gee, it's almost like the whole MAHA "movement" was a grift the whole time. I mean, Michelle Obama literally tried to do the same thing, and the GOP and Big Ag/Sugar went all in to stop her. www.politico.com/news/2026/10...
Watching the party of endless Whitewater investigations go on about "the weaponization of government" is infuriating. They've just about memory-holed their record of this very thing. delanirbartlette.substack.com/p/dems-need-...
I'm so glad this creator is addressing this. I've lived amongst them for 53 years, and these are the same people who used to bomb abortion clinics youtu.be/VxwBkGbiJfw?...

Again, NOT a drag queen. And I want to know why the name of the *church* was redacted??? www.4029tv.com/article/form...
Ordering this book ASAP. He's not the only one to have been warning us about Chump being essentially a Russian agent. Remember, on the debate stage with Hillary, when he directly asked Russia to hack into her emails? And then they did? Remember how Paul Manafort, the man who helped Russian puppet
Today is pub day for my book, "HOW RUSSIA WON: Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and the Fight for America." Please watch this video and pass it on. It's time to reclaim the Trump-Russia narrative and recognize Putin is continuing his years-long war on America and Trump is complicit. HowRussiaWon.com
While I definitely agree with them that #datacenters suck, and that we the people should have some say over them, a lot of people move out to the county specifically because they hate "government regulation." #FAFO www.dallasnews.com/business/ene...
I, and others, have been screaming about this threat for years. Right-wing paramilitary orgs calling themselves "militias" stockpiling weapons, making bombs, doing combat drills - and engaging in terrorist attacks against their enemies. But because the GOP runs cover for them, they get away with it.
“Homegrown” digs into American extremism—and argues it’s far more familiar than we let on.

🚨 BEWARE of VoteSafe.org 🚨 While it bills itself as a “safe” way to register to vote, it is actually a digital surveillance machine created by Elon Musk’s super PAC.
Take note: this is yet another way they'll suppress/toss out votes. What are we doing to stop this? share.newsbreak.com/jdy6hspr
Same old story.
Trump's covert surveillance of anti-ICE protesters is much worse than we thought. I dug into this and found that DHS agents secretly spied on over a dozen meetings of left-leaning groups, all protected by First Amendment. The details are unnerving. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2144...
I recall ppl putting wraps on their pickups depicting Biden bound and gagged. MTG & others posting that Pelosi was a traitor who deserved the death penalty. Obama hung in effigy. But that's #freespeech, right? #8647 sentinelcolorado.com/nation-world...
This is one more thing taking us closer to civil war. (But I say let him go to Mexico. I bet he'll get a really warm welcome there!)
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is refusing to extradite a federal officer wanted in Minnesota on assault charges tied to an on-duty shooting during January’s immigration crackdown in the Twin Cities, a new lawsuit claims. on.wsj.com/3ScnYML

I'm so glad they caught this before it happened. Also, just want to point out the 1st school shooting, as we know them today, was in AR. Jonesboro, to be exact. www.4029tv.com/article/craw...
These Flock cameras are NOT popular! Way to go, Centerton! www.4029tv.com/article/city...

This hits close to home for me. Back in the 90s, my ex was constantly harassing me for custody of our son. One of his tactics was to call DHS on me, accusing me & my family of SA-ing our son & would always say that we're "Satanists" even though we don't believe in www.rawstory.com/rs-exclusive...
While I agree with @gregsargent.bsky.social and so many others on this, I'm not seeing any acknowledgement of the role that red state governors have in implementing Chump's will. Several of them - incl. AR - already turned over their voter rolls. What are they doing with that data???
It's no coincidence that Trump went nuclear on John Thune to pass SAVE Act just as GOP is detoriating in generic ballot. Latest polls are striking: Fox D+7 Pew D+6 Emerson D+11 On the pod, @ariberman.bsky.social is so good on Trump's coming effort to steal midterms: newrepublic.com/article/2134...
