@WarMachine2013 @RustonRifle At this moment, I'm sitting in the same place in my house as I was 28 years ago. It seems like yesterday.

@OaklawnRacing @NormCasse P.S. - Ms. Whitney was very gracious when her Birdstone broke our hearts in Smarty Jones’s Belmont.

@OaklawnRacing @NormCasse Whitney Stables…doesn’t get more blue-blood that in racing. Congratulations.

@kylegriffin1 And he will be replaced with another Republican. Moving on…

@CNN Yes, Trump’s “impact lives on.” We can’t know yet whether our country will survive that impact.

[Jackson Jones @jacksonjones283]

@ArkansasBlog 1. He is a failed, would-be autocrat, not “President.” 2. To anyone who is still following him, know that he is leading you into the dustbin of history.

@kylegriffin1 The world will grant Donbas to the Russians and lift sanctions to end the madness. Russia could not have gotten this deal a month ago.

@ProjectLincoln Weak lawsuits and far-fetched procedural ploys in Congress are not treason. Democrats need to focus on winning elections.

[Jackson Jones @jacksonjones283]

@KATVJames Thank you!

[Jackson Jones @jacksonjones283]

@TomCottonAR @Boozman4AR Boozman is a decent man. We could do worse. But when he says, “Endorsed by President Trump,” he loses me.

[Jackson Jones @jacksonjones283]

@briantylercohen We need to focus on how to live with climate change. We can’t stop it.

[Jackson Jones @jacksonjones283]

@FoxNews Yes, it is. Let’s start with Republicans’ push to censor books in public schools.

@TomCottonAR “Initial public support for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation to the Supreme Court ties as the highest Gallup has measured for any recent nominee.” https://t.co/kLAXP2tQBx (3/24/22)

@Yamiche “Nevertheless, she persisted.” That is powerful. But this Judge Jackson moment, “Persevere,” I will never forget.

[Jackson Jones @jacksonjones283]

@danielsgoldman The perception, by half of the population, that a president or former president was being prosecuted for political reasons by his political opponents would destroy this country.

[Jackson Jones @jacksonjones283]

@SenAlexPadilla This was profound and beautiful.

[Jackson Jones @jacksonjones283]

@LarrySabato Article 1 also authorizes expulsion of a member of Congress by a 2/3 vote (House or Senate).

[Jackson Jones @jacksonjones283]

@BillKristol I didn’t get your last reference, but otherwise I’m with you.

[Jackson Jones @jacksonjones283]

@briantylercohen @tedcruz To be fair, there are 100 performative, self-obsessed narcissists in the U.S. Senate.

@BillKristol “Robert Bork’s America is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions (and) blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters…” - Ted Kennedy (1987)

[Jackson Jones @jacksonjones283]

@BillKristol Oh, but rudeness and demagoguery fly from both directions at these confirmation hearings, depending on the appointing party.
