I just received a demo of the upcoming IRS Direct File tool. The IRS has built an impressive product that will give taxpayers a secure option to file their taxes online for free. This pilot program will start small in 2024, to allow the IRS to test it and learn from taxpayers.

$500 million for the richest Arkansans, and not a single cent for teachers (no, not even the bonuses they were going on about).
The ARGOP’s priorities are clear, and it’s clear their plans aren’t meant to help the rest of us. Just their bank accounts.

Sarah Sanders is refusing to follow a federal law that protects LGBTQI+ kids from discrimination, harassment, and violence in school.
She only stands for hate and cheap political culture wars—not Arkansans and certainly not the Constitution.
🧵(1/5) In another of her administration’s endless attacks on LGBTQ Arkansans, Gov. Sanders has signed an executive order today that refuses compliance with updated Title IX policies.

Fights like this prove that Sarah Sanders is not all-powerful in Arkansas. Good things happen when people vote.

"last night was a movie" but it was actually just 9 chronically-online DC staffers explaining everything from basic civics to obscure constitutional provisions to the sole apolitical friend in the gc
Gov. Sanders is a thin-skinned joke and is legitimately leading the state down a totalitarian path. She’s decided that Arkansans aren’t allowed to hold her accountable for abusing taxpayer $, so here come unilateral rule changes with some rather convenient retroactivity clauses.
Arkansas legislators may soon consider legislation that would significantly limit the information Arkansans can obtain through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) about the del...

They’re rushing a bill through so Sarah’s spending stays secret and they get to “keep their seats”
Every part of the political spectrum has united against these proposed changes. The only reason Hester & the ARGOP are doing this is for Sarah’s support next primary cycle.
Hester spent the today asserting that he has votes to extract the FOIA bill to the Senate floor if he wants to.
He called the committee process a “courtesy” to us.
This was a thinly veiled threat to bypass the will of the people.

Yeah because teachers quitting during a teacher shortage is a great thing for your “public school bill,” Alexa.
It’s never been about helping kids, they only care about “pwning the libs.”
I’m all for bickering about tax policy & road construction priorities.
That’s politics.
I will not sit idly by while women’s rights, LGBTQ+ rights, immigrants’ rights, and non-Christians’ rights are attacked.
That’s being a decent human being.
Human rights aren’t political.

Idaho can do so much better.
Arkansas can do so much better.
America can do. So. Much. Better.
We just have to show up and vote.
Arkansas, as a whole, isn’t electing Republicans. More people don’t show up or vote for Democrats than the people that vote for Republicans.
It’s so much better to have hope than it is to have regrets. Believe in the future of our state, get registered, and show up.
I find it really funny when ppl say stuff like “the Left’s agenda”
babe we don’t have a group chat absolutely none of this is what you think it is we just want people to have healthcare and not be attacked for literally just existing…

Telling kids they dont have to hide who they are or unalive themselves because they’re not cishet isn’t evil.
Meanwhile, there’ve been hundreds of clergy accused/arrested in the last few years of touching kids, but the Saline County Republican Women won’t talk about them.
Saline County Republican Women are NOT hiding who they really are. This is hate speech. Adding in Matthew 8:16 is clearly a threat to LGBTQIA+ folks.

Private schools who could receive $ under LEARNS are not held to the same non-discrimination and equal-access standards for students. It also makes no effort to protect students with disabilities’s rights.
Vouchers cannot fix poverty, but actually funding public schools can.
Opponents of the LEARNS Act & supporters of the status quo claim to oppose “public” money going to private institutions- why don’t they oppose:
-Food stamps
-Medicaid
-Pell grants
-Pre-K
All programs that allow “public” money to be used at private institutions.

How about we spend some of that surplus so we can have fewer “thank god for mississippi” moments? Let’s fix Arkansas before y’all start giving rich people more tax breaks.
The record surplus from last fiscal year shows the State of Arkansas is collecting more than it needs in taxes. We have the ability to provide additional tax relief, and I have called a Special Session for the week of August 8 to consider tax relief.

@AOC
is right. The
@ARGOP
doesn’t actually care that women will die, they just want to appease their donors. It’s a party of hypocrites & lunatics.
The majority of Arkansans support protecting a woman’s right to choose. The GOP doesn’t reflect our state. Let’s do better, y’all.

Last I checked, y’all were the ones saluting flags, doing rituals, and wanting kids to worship something in school. The indoctrination is coming from inside the house girlie..
DEI policies are designed to undo systemic barriers and level the playing field so women, POC, and the LGBTQI+ community have a fair a shot at success.
By questioning DEI's "appropriateness," you're playing right into the anti-equality movement's hand, Senator.
Thank you for this, Jonah. I think there are legitimate questions about where DEI as a technique works and where it’s inappropriate. But good on you for calling out the use of it as an epithet. Same applies to “woke.”
Arkansas is constantly ranked as one of/the worst state to be a renter.
Candidates like

know that fighting for Arkansans means fighting for tenants.
Strengthening renters' rights should be a top priority for EVERY Dem running in AR in 2024.

When Sarah took office, we knew it meant an uphill battle for democracy in Arkansas…
Sarah called a special session to give the richest Arkansans tax breaks, block Freedom of Information access, and protect herself from being called out when she abuses taxpayer dollars.
When I took office, I promised to limit the growth of government before government could limit the growth of liberty.
To achieve that, I called a special session of the legislature focused on three things: cutting taxes, streamlining state government, and protecting our freedom.
Transphobia, xenophobia, bold-faced lies, and buzz words made up no less than 80% of SHS’s response to
@POTUS
tonight.
She’s a liar, a hypocrite, a fear monger, and an embarrassment to our state.

I’ve had enough of giant corporations getting away with price gouging, driving Arkansans deeper into poverty.
How about we put that budget surplus we have to good use, making sure every Arkansan is housed, fed, and healthy?
Had enough of the Democrats' big government spending sprees and inflation that have given you nothing but a pay cut? When I'm governor, I'll begin phasing out the state income tax to give you a pay raise.
