The LEARNS propaganda machine is working overtime as Sarah Sanders hits the road in defense of her most prized legislative accomplishment since taking office. The Governor appears to be rewriting the definition of “town hall” with two recent stops in Jonesboro and Texarkana to promote the LEARNS Act. Ah yes,...
She’s the superhero Arkansas never knew it needed, protecting the state from imaginary threats with the flick of her pen It’s a damn shame that Sarah has to spend her time writing op-eds to convince Arkansans she’s not terrible at her job. Despite being loathed across the political spectrum, she...
Lake Hamilton’s basketball games are apparently more than team rivalries — they’re revivals. “Get saved or get out” is the message being sent to game attendees. The band is bringing hell-fire-and-brimstone-style band performances to its halftime shows this year. Complete with props that read “sinners beware” and “repent now,” the...
Attorney General Tim Griffin ran for this office on a maniacal obsession with crime. We want an AG who will keep us safe! But the crime-related problems he campaigned on solving weren’t the most important, they just contained the most dog-whistles. He didn’t have evidence-based solutions for any of our...

Kinda strange the impending “monument to the unborn” hasn’t had much fanfare from Sarah. Several of Governor Sanders’ key pieces of legislation were signed into law with all the pomp...
School districts are sounding the alarm on the LEARNS Act’s unfunded mandate to increase teacher salaries. Ali Noland, attorney and Little Rock School Board member, tweeted about LRSD’s projected impact, and gained some attention from Alexa Henning, one of Sarah Sanders’ most well-behaved lapdogs who can’t find Arkansas on a...
On Friday afternoon over 1,000 students staged a walk-out style protest at the school in the wake of the House passing of Sanders education bill. Students held posters and donned homemade shirts imploring Sarah to “DO BETTER.” It really is that simple, isn’t it?
In a stunning display of authoritarianism, the Sanders’ Administration threatens to block appropriations funding to the districts of lawmakers who vote against the LEARNS Act. This comes on the heels of harassment and intimidation of school superintendents at the hands of the Administration and Republican legislators. Yikes. Looks like the AR GOP...
