For four years we had peace, a booming economy, and conservatives appointed to the Supreme Court. The past three years we’ve had war, inflation, and weak leadership resulting from left wing agendas. I look forward to four more years of @realDonaldTrump .

So irresponsible of Board of Corrections. AR elected a leader for bold conservative change. It’s time for the soft on crime bureaucrats to step up or step out.
The AR Board of Corrections is blocking us from opening up the 500 extra prison beds we need to get violent criminals off our streets. That's unacceptable. I'm calling on the Board to hold an emergency meeting, approve these new beds, and end the revolving door in our

Our next governor must be clear-eyed about the rising violent crime plaguing our state and the need for reforms. @sarahhuckabee has a plan to tackle these challenges, and she will have a partner in me in the Legislature to increase prison capacity, support victims, make AR safer.
Making Arkansas one of the best states in the country to live, work, and raise a family starts with making sure families feel safe. That’s why today, I released my plan for a Safer, Stronger Arkansas ➡️

As of today children of Military, first responders, and law enforcement families are all eligible for Education Freedom Accounts. Soon all of Arkansas’s families will have choice for their children’s education!.

Federal Democrats are pushing for medical price controls. Price controls = less of an item / service = rationing . Getting a knee replacement in Canada is cheap but takes a year to get. Thank you @JohnBoozman @SenTomCotton for fighting for free market & accessible health care.

AR LEARNS prioritizes the pressing needs of our students & industries while also planning for the future success of our state. As the leader of the AR Senate, I will work with members and @sarahhuckabee to pass this bold education plan.
Literacy. Empowerment. Accountability. Readiness. Networking. Safety. Today I released my education plan — Arkansas LEARNS — because every kid should have access to a quality education, a good paying job, and a better life right here in AR! .

In the end a man from Dardanelle AR did what none of the others could. Gutting Obamacare by ending the individual mandate. Resulting in massive tax relief to at least 50,000 poor Arkansans whom Obamacare fined for being poor. Thank you @TomCottonAR.

In 2017 I ran this bill with overwhelming support from my colleagues. Arkansas will always stand with Israel over terrorist sympathizers.
I was just told that I cannot speak at @UArkansas unless I sign a pledge that I will not boycott Israel or its occupation. I refused. A 2017 state law requires @UArkansas to impose this McCarthyist requirement. A reminder that the current effort to quash free speech is not new.

After looking at turnout #’s and polling it appears that @Cecilebledsoe will win by the largest margin in the state (exception @AsaforAR). This shows that being a person of integrity & character matters. No one at the Captiol models these traits more than @Cecilebledsoe.

If you abuse our children you will get to serve 100% of your sentence. Message is clear to those that harm AR’s kids.
Today, I announced the Safer, Stronger Arkansas legislative package. We will lock up violent, repeat offenders with truth in sentencing. We will increase pay for our corrections officers and pay overtime for state troopers. And we will END the failed public safety status quo

First time ever Medicaid in AR had a zero $ growth last year. Thank you to @AsaHutchinson for being the jobs Governor and moving people from welfare to work. Equally as important, thank you to @CollinsARK & @JimHendren1 for leading the Medicaid reforms in AR.

100 yrs since AR placed its 2 statues in Statuary Hall DC. In 2019 session I plan to work w/ legislature to select 2 new Arkansans to recognize. So many options; Adam Brown, Little Rock 9, W Rockefeller, Johnny Cash, S Walton, Milton Crenshaw etc etc

Eye opening discussion today about higher ed $. If all higher ed operated at the per student $ @ArkansasTech gets from state there would be plenty of $ for highways & @uamshealth NCI designation. It clearly can be done and done well per @ArkansasTech example.

Winter Task Force made up of 19 people, who get a paycheck on Friday regardless of additional restrictions, are shockingly recommending more restrictions.
I will be addressing the high number of new cases in a Friday news conference. Today we implemented the first recommendation of the COVID-19 Winter Task Force, and I will address hospital capacity tomorrow.

This is false and misleading, the ask from Matthew Moore was for examples of indoctrination being taught, that’s exactly what’s in the document you tweeted out.
In case you missed it, here's the document @alexahenning claimed would support guv's invocation of indoctrination and hate teaching when asked on Fox News about critics of her attempt to kill AP history course. Nothing on that AP course to be found.

People of AR still believe in personal responsibility and accountability. If your an able bodied adult you should work, try to work, or fill out a form to get insurance paid for by those who do work. Work requirements is a great policy I hope to see expanded in 19’ session #arpx.
We are making a mistake. Governor @AsaHutchinson should see that. Taking health care from 12,000 Arkansans should require a better explanation than “they didn’t fill out a form online.” #arpx.

@ArkDems 2022 Governor nominee @JonesForAR taking a Pro Hamas Terrorist position. @JonesForAR may want to take a knee to terrorist sympathizers. I personally think hand cuffs and expulsion letters is the best way to NOT ignore them.
@gelderbailey We would do well to NOT ignore them.
