French Hill was sent home by Speaker Johnson on Oct 3rd to avoid a vote on the Epstein files, but couldn’t find the time to hold an in-person town hall with his constituents.
He found the time to meet with the bankers, though.

You know they’ll just find a taxidermist so that the Cabinet can pull off “A Weekend at Bernie’s.”

My latest @arkansasadvocate.com column: With universal eligibility pushing costs toward $300M a year, Gov. Sanders' vouchers program has become a giant maw gobbling up taxpayer dollars that will soon force Arkansas legislators to make some tough choices.

'Free money' is popular but never really free | Arkansas Advocate

Whether the money runs out this year or not, what’s clear is that the vouchers program has become a voracious consumer of taxpayer dollars.

Truth.

So CNN broke the news about Noem being taken by ambulance to the hospital. Other news outlets cited CNN as their source of this info. Now, as news outlets are offering updates, CNN yanked its story? Hmm…

👀 Flag-ging: Speaker Johnson previously said the House would raise the US flags for Inauguration Day to full staff, but operations are encountering an issue: the cords are frozen, a source in Johnson’s office confirms to me.

Also, is it an ethical breach for Joe Profiri to be anywhere near this contract after being fired as DOC Secretary? Or does this constitute former special employee lobbying under Ethics Commission purview (19-11-718)?

I call BS on their claim. I know things have changed, especially under SHS, but emails are the primary means of communication between ADC agency staff members. Have you tried FOIA’ing for the text messages on their state phones? They they to be a bit more careless with those. 😁

Has anyone FOIA’d ADC’s emails? When I was the PIO there, we got lots of requests for intra-agency emails.
