A pastor calls BS on Sarah Sanders and her Christian nationalist warped religiosity. It starts with putting words never uttered in mouths of Democrats, whom she calls evil. There’s evil afoot here, sure enough. baptistnews.com/article/gov-…

Gov. Sanders mixes bad religion with bad politics

Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders decided to play a theologian in a speech to the Women’s Leadership Summit sponsored by Turning Point USA this summer, and it wasn’t a good look. The video is...

What's scoop on Alex Karp and Tom Cotton? Karp is the CEO of Palantir and one of the largest donors behind attack ads against Hallie Shoffner. Palantir has a $10 billion enterprise budget with the US Army. Cotton oversees their budget as Chair of the Senate Select Committee.

Montanans are paying $6 a gallon for diesel because Washington started a war in Iran. Their fix? Cut deals with Putin. I’ll build American energy here at home, stand up to petro-dictators, and work to end this war so costs come down for good.

CBS identified Illinois based Three Z Printing as the holder of the permit associated with the fake transgender mailers. One of the owners, Matt Zerrusen, is based in Dallas. His Instagram shows pictures with Charlie Kirk and Donald Trump, and comments from local Republicans.

Trump’s Transportation Secretary used the word “libtard” while standing next to his daughter with Down syndrome. Then he defended it. Sean Duffy is a terrible father and a failed human being.

When it was reported he expressed this privately during the first term, I asked him whether he said it. He wouldn’t fess up. And his aides screamed for us to get out of the Oval. He’s just letting the Klan talk rip now. xitter.cf/kylegriffin1/status/95…

Unconscionable that Republicans are using bureaucratic hurdles to deliberately deprive people of food. Sadly, Arkansas & Gov. Sanders have been at the forefront of hardheartedness. And French Hill & Tom Cotton both voted for it. #arpx #arnews #arleg theguardian.com/us-news/2026…

There is no clearer choice on the ballot than Shoffner against a despicable, dishonest war monger.
Hallie Shoffner
@hallieshoffnerOct 25
All along this campaign, I have heard stories from Arkansans about what matters most. If you elect me to represent you, I will take these stories to Washington and fight every day for you. I will also continue to travel the state, hear your stories, and work to make your life better, because as your Senator you are electing me to represent you. That’s the job. There’s 9 days left, vote this week. Polling places are open Monday. 🗳️

If and when the GOP loses elections in Texas, @StephenM will (as he already is) try to scapegoat someone else. But this is your proof that some number of voters are SPECIFICALLY voting because of Stephen Miller's murder squads.
