Let’s get real about who Tom Cotton is. He didn’t climb the ladder of politics, he was installed in office by radical right wing think tanks & billionaire donors. He’s not there to legislate or make our lives better, he’s there to be a puppet vote. He’ll never solve our problems.
French Hill is lying and distorting my record to distract from his own failure to serve Arkansas.
So, let’s set the record straight:
-On Congress: I believe in the constitution and that those who hold constitutional office must be accountable to the people. I never called for abolishing the House.
-On my career: I've spent my career working in science, education, and leadership. My work and accomplishments are public, and I'm proud of them.
-On personal enrichment: French Hill has questioned my finances, but has shown no facts. His own estimated net worth has grown from approximately $2 million to $20 million during his time in Congress.
-On gender-affirming surgeries: I don’t support gender reassignment surgeries for minors or taxpayer funding for those procedures. My position is clear.
Here’s what I do support:
* YOU
* Ending this war of choice
* Stopping Trump’s chaotic tariffs
* Protecting rural hospitals
* Ensuring healthcare for Arkansans
* Passing a Farm Bill
* Supporting veterans
* Releasing the Epstein files
* Taxing billionaires to bring down the debt
* Extending maternal care and SNAP benefits
* Passing a Voting Rights Act
* Cutting taxes for small businesses and working families
* Holding this corrupt administration accountable
After nearly 12 years in Congress, French Hill would rather lie about me, because he doesn’t want to answer for rising costs, threats to health coverage for 200,000+ Arkansans, and tax breaks for billionaires.
French is for the big banks and billionaires. I’m fighting for YOU.

Let me repeat: I want him gone, his family gone, and that fucking name erased from the news cycle. I’m sick of seeing him, hearing him, hearing ABOUT him. I’ve never hated anyone like this malignant orange motherfucker. The day he finally croaks, the world will fucking celebrate.
Chris Jones (@JonesForAR) and Hallie Shoffner (@hallieshoffner) are featured in an NPR story about Democrats seeing opportunity in unlikely places like #Arkansas.
I'm proud of Chris and Hallie for having the guts, taking the time, and spending the money to run for office here.
Ukraine is not Russia. That's Putin’s problem – refusing to recognize a separate nation, refusing to recognize a separate country – that's what did him in. He was shown a military operation that was supposed to take three days. We found parade uniforms in their various military vehicles. They were literally marching to a parade. He still doesn't understand and doesn't want to admit that this is a different nation, a different people.
They were advancing on Kyiv from all directions. Their main goal was to seize the capital of Ukraine. They reached Kyiv. They trapped us, and then we started hammering them, and they didn't know what to do about it. They were especially shocked when they drove toward the capital and people were just throwing burning mixtures. People were setting their armor on fire. It wasn't a matter of some general being an idiot. I believe the one who gave the order just didn't fully realize what was happening.
Because what does taking Kyiv mean? When you've taken those towns on the way to Kyiv, you have to leave troops behind to hold those towns. And that takes a huge number of people. It's a pretty large territory. If the people inside offer resistance, then you need an army to hold every town. That was their mistake. They didn't even realize there would be resistance. That was their main mistake. That's it.
From The Diary of a CEO podcast with Steven Bartlett. (1/3)
This dude fucked up the USA more than most want to admit - that's why Republicans and MAGA love him so much. He was a piece of shit that fucked over the poor and disenfranchised. His actions amplified the inequity and inequality you see today. He is why MAGA embraces Iniquity.
NEW UPDATE! OUTRAGEOUS: A NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT — IN HIS OWN WORDS AND THEIRS. The Telegraph reported on October 16, citing four sources, that Elon Musk pitched the Starshield slowdown to Donald Trump, and Trump AGREED.
The Wall Street Journal then reported Musk PERSONALLY ordered it. Trump has denied knowing anything three separate times. Reuters says the order came from inside the White House. Somebody is lying — and it's not Ukraine.
The slowdown hit at 1 a.m. on October 14, with no warning to Ukraine's defense forces. Starshield — the military system AMERICAN TAXPAYERS fund — was capped at 160 km/h. Ukraine's 7th Rapid Reaction Corps told Reuters units were FORCED TO CANCEL MISSIONS, with connections dropping mid-flight. Zelensky said that when the speed was reduced, "we were unable to intercept some of the jet-powered Shaheds" — drones flying 300 to 400 km/h at Ukrainian cities, against a 160 km/h cap.
Zelensky added: "People were killed because [there were] not enough interceptors, including interceptors with Starlink, which didn't work."
Since that night, the bombs never stopped. From Reuters and CNN reporting, AT LEAST 37 Ukrainian civilians have been killed in Russian strikes from October 14 to October 21: 6 in Lutsk, 3 in Kirovohrad, 11 in a single 24 hours by October 18, 6 in a Kharkiv park on October 19 (three of them CHILDREN), and 4 more the night of October 20. The United Nations says the first two weeks of October were among the deadliest for Ukrainian civilians IN YEARS.
One unelected billionaire controls America's battlefield communications, holds billions in Pentagon contracts paid by YOU, and — by the reporting — personally slowed the system protecting Ukrainian civilians while Russia bombed them. Republican Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick said it "costs human lives" and demanded witnesses be put UNDER OATH.
Elon Musk is a national security threat. Donald Trump is his protection. And protection expires in 12 days.
PUT THEM UNDER OATH. EVERYBODY KNOWS IT.
Elon is now threatening the United States Government if he is investigated after the midterms. You know what eliminates those threats? Seizing all of his assets, nationalizing SpaceX, and putting him on trial for treason against the United States and war crimes against Ukraine. If he wants to threaten with all his money, take away all his fucking money.
Elon Musk should not be admired or respected.
Elon Musk should be feared as a wealthy gangster who pushes any button to get what he wants.
What Elon Musk wants is to benefit himself,amass more billions of dollars and never have a single altruistic notion.
Elon Musk's game is to get as much as he can as fast as he can.
To him you can either get out of his way or...that's it really.
Elon Musk wants us all to get out his way.
Elon Musk owes America reparations for "DOGE" and helping shove Trump down our throats.
Elon Musk in no way supports free speech except for himself.
For Elon Musk free speech never has to be truthful speech.
Elon Musk always gets the last word.
He owns the media.
Question everything he says or does.
@elonmusk
This. Understand that, if Elon Musk truly ordered the slowdown of Starshield, a private corporation, SpaceX, acting at the behest of its CEO, effectively dictated aspects of another country's defense operations by restricting a critical service on which its military depends.
This seriously compromises the reliability and credibility of American defense companies and certainly makes SpaceX deeply suspect as a defense contractor.
The question remains whether the ultimate order came from the White House (as suggested by a separate Reuters report) or whether Musk acted independently.
It is clear that this entire episode needs to be investigated, and I strongly urge Congress to return from recess. The matter is too urgent to wait until after November 3.
If the WSJ reporting is accurate, this is yet another sordid episode in this administration's record. Should the next administration be Democratic, Elon Musk must be investigated and, if misconduct is established, held accountable.
The reliability and trustworthiness of both Musk and SpaceX are now very much in question.
Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of a military-grade version of Starlink relied on by Ukraine, U.S. officials and people familiar with the matter said https://t.co/CSZrEsKQXW via @WSJ
Musk working with the White House to restrict Ukraine's access to satellites so Russia would benefit is treason. Probably the most shocking headline of 2026.

Republicans have the House.
Republicans have the Senate.
Republicans have the Presidency.
Republicans have the Supreme Court.
Your grocery costs have gone up.
Your premiums have quadrupled.
Your gas tanks are empty.
Your safety is at risk in a war.
Your wages are down.
Republicans own this mess.
Vote accordingly.
While Tom Cotton is running around standing in front of industries he didn’t know existed six months ago, in the real world, this is what Arkansans are dealing with. Cotton voted to cut $1 trillion from Medicaid which will close even more hospitals. But yeah, keep voting for Tom.
That’s great, Mr. Trump. I’d like to report a theft.
A man inside our government illegally spent nearly $22 million in taxpayer dollars on bogus campaign ads praising himself. He now resides on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Taxpayers want to know when they’ll get their money back.
🇺🇦 Zelenskyy delivers a blunt message to the United States:
“Just give us Starlink back. If you refuse, Ukraine will survive. We will continue defending ourselves with or without it.
But why would you restrict a country fighting for its survival? Why make it harder for us to defend our people?
I simply cannot understand the reasoning behind this decision. It is a mistake.”
Ukraine isn’t asking America to fight its war. It’s asking America not to stand in the way of its defense.
