The failing Biden admin sent letters to GOP led states in a politically motivated PR stunt, accusing us of restricting Medicaid access. That's false.
During the unwinding process mandated by federal law, the Biden admin sent letters to certain states to pause their unwinding,

If this is a public school, this is totally inappropriate. If it’s a private school, it’s poor judgment. We are all entitled to our politics of choice but not to using public entities to advance our politics.
I stand firmly behind Secretary Profiri and his leadership of the Department of Corrections. The Board of Corrections would rather continue the failed catch and release policies instead of working with the Secretary to make our state safer, stronger, and more secure. I will

This tweet is a wrong, Chris Jones is lying to the people of our state.
Adolescence have to have parents permission to work. The bill he is referring to is government approving the job after parent and employer already approved it.
Chris really doesn’t like empower parents 🤷🏻♂️
@SarahHuckabee
Just so we’re clear..
You’re saying 13 year olds should NOT need a parent’s permission or an ID to work in a factory.
BUT…an 18 year old MUST ask mommy and get an ID to check Twitter?
Did I get that right? 🤔
We have to compete with our neighboring states Texas and Tennessee for workers, investments, and jobs. Eliminating income taxes in Arkansas is the best way to help us compete.
