RFK Jr is neither a doctor nor a scientist but is making critical health decisions for our whole country. He should not fill that role in our government.

Ranked choice voting causes candidates to need to appeal to groups other than their own in order to win. This should lead to moderation of views and the election of fewer extremists.

Release the rest of the Epstein files now. Quit protecting the rich and the powerful.

The Supreme Court long protected the rights of oppressed minorities. Now it props up the white majority who decided they were the real oppressed group.

Having different rules for public schools compared to private schools while giving state money to both helps private schools win the competition.

Bribery being done out in the open where people can see it is still bribery.

Cutting services and benefits for millions of Americans in order to give 800 billionaires a tax cut is not good planning.

Arkansas has one of the lowest voter turnouts in the country. We all need to vote when there is an election.

If we want better government, we must elect better people.

Democrats who stay home from elections help elect Republicans. When there is an election, please get out and vote.

If you discriminate against someone due to your religious beliefs, it is still bigotry.

The Supreme Court needs strict, enforceable ethics rules along with term limits.

Rolling back child labor laws is terrible for kids and for our nation.

School choice in Arkansas means private schools get to choose the students they will accept, not the other way around.

We need to overturn Citizens United and get dark money out of politics.

Donald Trump is mentioned in the Epstein files thousands of more times than Prince Andrew is mentioned. I want him held accountable, too.

For-profit prisons need to be banned in America forever.

We should end the cap on Social Security earnings and tax the rich like we tax everyone else.

Congress should not have to separately authorize borrowing for spending it has already approved. We should abolish the debt ceiling.

Congress should abolish the debt ceiling. It serves no purpose except to create political drama.

Weakening the IRS makes it easier for wealthy people to avoid paying their fair share of taxes.

The Trump admin has repealed the environmental protections that kept our air breathable and our water drinkable in order to protect fossil fuel companies.

Public schools in Arkansas operate under testing, reporting, and oversight requirements. Vouchers have none of that. No standards. No transparency.
