“Shame on Donald Trump for worsening NC’s Helene crisis with political lies,” from the Charlotte Observer (@theobserver).
I’d add: Shame on those who blindly repeat his lies—and especially those who knowingly repeat them. charlotteobserver.com/opinio…

Tonight President Biden highlighted bipartisan accomplishments, urged bipartisan cooperation on a host of critical issues, outlined his unity agenda, and pledged to “always be a president for all Americans.”
You’re not gonna get that from the other guy.

Had the chance to tour the Arkansas Union and visit with custodial staff for a couple hours this afternoon. Grateful for their time and the work they do. Also: I knew the place stays busy, but I didn’t know the Union hosts about 10,000 events a year. That’s almost 30 a day!

Will wants 75 new sustaining donors to the Democratic Party of Arkansas’s (@ArkDems) Heart of the Party program in the month of June, and they’re already at almost 50, so let’s see if we can’t wrap this up before we’re even halfway through the month, okay? Forty-eight hours. Go.
If you can join FORTY-SEVEN new monthly donors to the Arkansas Democratic Party in June, pick a number between 3 and 833.33 and sign up to give that number of dollars each month at the link below:

"Real America is still getting back to work."
Economists expected to see about 190,000 jobs added last month, but January's number clocked in at 517,000.
🔥 Employers have now added an average of 365,000 jobs a month over the last three months.

➡️ August saw another 315,000 jobs added, making for *20 consecutive months* of job growth—going all the way back to January 2021.
➡️ We’ve seen nearly six million jobs added in just the last year.
➡️ Nearly a quarter-million more people are employed than before the pandemic.

Finalizing my playlist for the @HogeyeMarathon on Saturday morning. What songs do you think should absolutely make the cut?

What I think happened, at least in many cases, is that masks were received, distributed, and used very quickly.
If a co-op or district can argue otherwise, please let me know.
But I think Governor @AsaHutchinson might be right: Masks were sent—and have likely been used.

It really feels like @GregLeding is going to push @LisaForArkansas over 100 December donors. We had 68 before he asked his supporters to help & now we're pushing 80.
If y'all can give, I'll personally add $1 to each donation that gets us to 100.

Sixty-one days.
Lisa Parks can win, everybody. Republicans have to wait another 27 days before they even get a nominee.
Lisa and her team are already at work.
If you can, chip in at LisaForArkansas.com, or contact the campaign to see how you can help. (Or do both!)

I've already received two messages from constituents asking me to vote to override Governor Hutchinson's veto of #HB1570.
We need opponents of the bill to call in support of *sustaining* the veto:
House: (501) 682-6211
Senate: (501) 682-2902

Worst week to date continued:
- Arkansas set a single-day record with 3,039 cases on Thursday

Arkansas hospitals reached a 96% occupancy for ICU beds Dec. 17 with just 46 beds available across the state. @maryhennigan_

White women played a big role in raising funds to erect these monuments to the failed Confederacy.
One of the biggest and most influential groups working to help? The United Daughters of the Confederacy—to which Willie Hocker belonged.

Superintendent Collins: "What’s the science behind the assumption that we can start school without creating a huge increase in cases?"
Dr. Romero: "You know, you’ve asked a very good question. We don’t have the science, because we haven’t ever tried this before, right?"

Our state's incarceration rate is really something else. In a country with an incarceration rate that far surpasses those of many countries, we somehow manage to outpace the national rate. (2/3)
ALT Arkansas's incarceration rate of 900 people for every 100,000 in population exceeds the country's rate of 698 people for every 100,000 in population.

Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Do not become bitter or hostile. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble. We will find a way to make a way out of no way. #goodtrouble

Not many of us get to live to see our own legacy play out in such a meaningful, remarkable way. John Lewis did:
