Pretty sure the poop is going to hit the fan when thousands of #Arkansas 3rd graders are held back because of this latest unintended consequence of Gov. Sanders ill-considered LEARNS law. But fear not - Jacob Oliva will find a creative workaround when the political consequences start to bite.

Preliminary testing data shows that 35% of 3rd graders in Arkansas are in danger of being held back next year for not meeting reading standards in Gov. Sanders LEARNS law; nearly 40% in Little Rock. Dmitry Martirosov reports in Dem-Gazette.

Tom Cotton said yes to $40 billion for Argentina’s economy but no to helping workers, families, and farmers right here in Arkansas.

Arkansas deserves a Senator who fights for OUR families and farmers, not foreign ones.

Arkansas Senate Republican leader Bart Hester had this to say in defending Gov. Sanders' taxpayer-financed subsidies of religious schools: "If you ask me, we could use a little more religion in our schools than less of it." Except that isn't what the Constitution says, senator.

Republicans are lazy.

They gerrymander their way into power and never lift a finger again. Do you think they have ever put a petition together and worked hard enough to get something on the ballot and then knocked doors to get voters out so it will pass?

No. They are lazy freeloading sloths.
