Arkansas ag producers are facing enormous challenges, but it's encouraging to discuss the shared commitment to find solutions for returning to profitability and more years in operation. I appreciated hearing @AginArk's latest projections for farm country, which reinforce the importance of getting Farm Bill 2.0 signed into law. #BuiltForFarmers #ARisAg

If Democrats retake the House in November, Hakeem Jeffries is all but certain to become speaker in January — the first Black American to hold the post. The success of a Jeffries speakership would depend on how he manages what could be a fragile majority. wapo.st/4jGDlsd

Hakeem Jeffries is poised to make history. His leadership style faces a test.

The New York Democrat is likely to preside over the House come January. Even some allies say he’ll need to be tougher.

I appreciated the opportunity to visit with community members and tour @UAFS's maternal and infant health program during Capital for a Day in Fort Smith. I was proud to help secure $15 million in federal funding to support a new maternal and infant health care center on campus and look forward to seeing how this investment strengthens care for mothers and babies across our region.

The federal deficit hit $1.99 trillion in FY 2026, up $217 billion. Republicans control the White House and Congress, yet spending keeps rising. Yes, Democrats also helped create this mess, but Republicans promised fiscal restraint. Neither party gets a pass. #NationalDebt
