Small towns across #Arkansas are becoming the unwilling hosts of cryptocurrency mining facilities, hooking up to their power grids and evoking increasing outcry among locals. One lawmaker is seeking answers. https://t.co/6iLr09GbYs | #arnews#arpx#arleg

#MAGA hate it because they cannot argue with it.
It's Trump - in his own words and exposed as a failure and serial liar.
It's the antidote to Trump's poison.
@SarahHuckabee@SarahHuckabee No ma’am.
You can do a lot of things, but you can not mischaracterize Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Take time to read his writings and listen to his full speeches (not just the short pieces you see during Black History Month).
And it’s DOCTOR!
Sit this one out.
@KARK4News@LouderThanMost3 It doesn’t have to be this way. We can address the problem and make communities safer. Simply throwing people in prison isn’t working. We need to address the root cause. Unfortunately, our current leadership is missing the mark.
The Biden administration is asking states to slow the purge because kids and lower-income Arkansans are losing healthcare for admin reasons.
So here’s the question: who is pushing Sarah to remove so many Arkansans from healthcare coverage and why is she moving so quickly?
We weren’t going to publicly post this, but since @Sarahhuckabee and her friends @alexahenning and @JBarkerAR keep gaslighting us about the LEARNS town halls, we would love to know what organizations are allowed to host one? CAPES has been denied a town hall by @ArkansasEd.

John’s surprisingly clear (just kidding John) piece hits hard. “The biggest problem with the cultural right has always been not what it believes culturally or religiously, but what it believes governmentally--that everyone ought to be made to live by the way it believes.”

Clarke’s lawyerly logical editorial notes that, “The institutions that sustain our democracy…are timeless”, and that when elected officials, like so many in Arkansas, lead the attacks on those institutions, it “threatens our democracy’s survival.”

Gwen’s truth telling piece applauds @ArkNate book ban fight and notes, ”doing the hard thing is what it will take to rid our state of the bullies we have allowed in charge. Stand up to them…most of all, stand up by showing up at the ballot box.”https://t.co/W5iQLi3W4k
This emergency clause business is not trickery. "Prepare the machines, Mr. Clerk. Remember you're voting on the bill and the emergency clause." Then they record the bill passage and, separately, the emergency clause passage. The Constitution requires separate votes . Were there?
Not so long ago emergency clauses were rare, tied to actual urgencies. They've been bundling them for a few years now, often without justified urgency. The current issue is when is LEARNS effective if the emergency clause was invalid. The law is likely inevitable either way.
By a vote of 4 justices who go by the Constitution and 3 who go by Sarah Sanders, the state Supreme Court keeps Judge Wright’s temporary restraining order on LEARNS effective-date issue in place. https://t.co/zo1pfVX9do
Three must read opinion pieces in today’s paper.
All centered on making sense of the chaos we’re living under.
All about bills from this past legislative session + behavior of this administration.
Thank you @GwenForArkansas, Senator @clarketucker, and @johnbrummett

“We have witnessed numerous attacks on the judge who made the LEARNS decision. Some have called him ‘activist,’ others have called him ‘far left.’
For state leaders to make these claims, particularly with no foundation, is not only irresponsible; it’s dangerous.” - @clarketucker
BREAKING: Jamie Raskin has shared a health update and says “Chemotherapy has extinguished the cancer cells.”
Raskin says Friday will be his final treatment of chemotherapy for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
“It’s almost extinguished me in the process, but I’m hanging in there. I’m gonna make it through,” Raskin said. He joked that doctors have promised him that his eyelashes, eyebrows, and hair will come back “one day soon, so fingers crossed there.”
Raskin was diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in December.
Congratulations @RepRaskin!!
We wish you continued good health! 💙💙💙
