They broke his bones, gouged his eyes out, cut out his tongue and castrated him. He died of a heart attack after being set on fire and dragged himself 50 meters across the floor.

A University of Arkansas Iranian-American professor fired from her tenured position in late March is now facing investigations in Britain over allegations of academic misconduct tied to her research on Iran.

Whether you want to be a welder, a robotics engineer, or the founder of the largest company on earth, Arkansas is the place where you can make it happen.

Great to be at @UAFS to see their brand new workforce center, powering the next generation of Arkansas talent.

A nation that cannot build cannot remain a superpower. We must reform our permitting system to outbuild our adversaries.

Google co-founder Sergey Brin is coming out as Republican, per NYT

The reporting follows Brin's ambitious efforts to kill the California wealth tax, elect a Republican to California governor, and move his residency out of California.

He finally expressed his sentiment in a comment to NYT:

"I fled socialism with my family in 1979 and know the devastating, oppressive society it created in the Soviet Union. I don't want California to end up in the same place."

This is what it looks like to have a warfighter in a room full of politicians…. Never get them confused. Proud to call @SecWar a friend and even more proud to serve under him.

[Ambassador Warren Stephens @USAmbUK]

I’m grateful for the men and women who have served and who are currently serving in our armed forces. It was a privilege to meet our brave @USAirForce personnel who are stationed at RAF Fairford and to personally thank the Airmen from my home state of Arkansas. They truly represent the very best our country has to offer. Their commitment and sacrifice keep us safe both domestically and abroad.

For 66 days, Senate Democrats shut down DHS to defund ICE. 

Their plan backfired.

This week, Republicans will bypass their obstruction and super fund both ICE and Border Patrol.

A Finnish Air Force pilot flew the F-35A multirole fighter for the first time on 15 April from Ebbing Air National Guard Base, located in Fort Smith, Arkansas, where the practical phase of the Finnish personnel's F-35 initial training is conducted.

Thank you Sen. @BartHester for supporting fully funding Education Freedom Accounts!

Arkansas is now ranked #6 in economic outlook.
Conservative legislators aligned with a great leader @SarahHuckabee are producing real results. https://t.co/7vOmLzDCz7

[Sarah Huckabee Sanders @SarahHuckabee]

Today I delivered my State of the State Address and shared our vision of lower taxes, better schools, safer streets, and the conservative values that make our state great.

The American Dream is alive, and it’s in Arkansas.

[FBI Director Kash Patel @FBIDirectorKash]

🚨🚨 FBI and our partners have arrested a former SOCOM employee, who supported our top-level military warfighters, for allegedly transmitting classified information to a member of the media.

Outstanding work by @FBICharlotte and the FBI Counterintelligence & Espionage Division - as well as our @TheJusticeDept partners.

Let this serve as a message to any would-be leakers: we’re working these cases, and we’re making arrests. This FBI will not tolerate those who seek to betray our country and put Americans in harm’s way.

A cave in Jerusalem was empty 2,000 years ago.

And a cave in Iran was empty this Sunday.

New survey shows Arkansas ranks #1 in teacher satisfaction with 89% of educators happy in their jobs.

We are thankful for our great educators and have invested in them and rewarded their hard work - and it’s paying off.

[Tom Cotton @SenTomCotton]

Today, the brave men and women of Arkansas’ 142nd Field Artillery Brigade depart for the Middle East.

Arkansas is thankful for their service. May God protect them.
