Puppy killer Kristi Noem keeps telling interviewers she’s “been involved in policy for almost 30 years” (1994, when she was 22).
What policy? She didn’t finish college until 2011 and by her own account worked on the family farm until ‘06 when she was elected to the legislature.

The opinion by the federal court permitting the teaching of subjects Sarah Sanders declared 'indoctrination' & tried to ban in an E.O. and codify in legislation is a significant defeat for Arkansas GOP anti-intellectual attitudes in education & beyond. It's a win for Arkansas.

AR AG's statement that injunction on the anti-indoctrination clause in LEARNS doesn't matter bc the state wasn't censoring anyway is demonstrably untrue.
Y'all remember when the ed department was asked for examples of indoctrination in the classroom and they gave us this? 1/3

Federal judge sides with LR Central teachers in challenge to classroom censorship law; says teachers can't be punished or prevented from teaching controversial topics but stops short of full statewide injunction against LEARNS 'indoctrination' provision.

Rapert to the Library Board and now this. It's an effort by Sarah Huckabee Sanders to diminish the impact of public information. Chilling to say the least.

Arkansas Times Shocked to learn that someone married Dan Sullivan.

Did Laurie Lee really just say that *opponents* of #vouchers are from 'affluent families who don't want their kids going to school with 'those kids''?? When the #vouchers scam is built around that very idea?

'Sanders said Thursday that any threat of removal of funding by the federal government would result in legal action by state Attorney General Tim Griffin.'

Even Victor Wembanyama doesn't have arms long enough to give this statement the jerkoff motion it deserves.

Vouchers in Iowa pushed private school tuition prices higher.

'An overpriced piece of furniture is absolutely not our state’s biggest problem. A much bigger problem is having a governor whose stewardship won’t stand up to scrutiny, who has such a low opinion of her constituents that she refuses to explain her use of our money, and who...'

Judge partly sides with plaintiffs suing to stop Arkansas’s ban on ‘critical race theory,’ ‘indoctrination’. In short, federalist GOP judge couldn’t bring himself to override Sarah but essentially says her law is practically meaningless. arktimes.com/arkansas-blog/… via @arktimes

Gov. Sanders names Maria Sullivan, wife of State Sen. 'Book Ban' Dan Sullivan, to board that oversees Arkansas PBS.

It will never stop being funny that Tom Cotton's favorite song is 'Battle Hymn of the Republic' (only written query of mine his office has ever responded to).

Poor Tom, all hustle & no flow.

I would give anything for a state attorney general that didn’t manage to out-cringe Drake locally this week.

Instead. We all get to watch Arkansas Aubrey debase himself thanks to his paper-thin ego. I’m sure it’ll go great for him, though.

Greg Henderson Lol. I was already planning on refiling this b/c they’ve committed more violations under the guise of working papers since I filed.

Timmy’s just mad I made fun of him on Twitter yesterday. I’ll make sure to mention that in the refiled complaint next week.

“Everything that starts on the east coast ends up here”

Woof. Ain’t that the truth? All that performative east coast bullshit seems to find its way to Arkansas eventually…

This man Matt Campbell is in Tim Griffin's head.

You the attorney general, bro, why you out here losing twitter fights?

Can’t even leave the state for a day without Tim Griffin using my name for clout. What a clown.
