Taking food away from children should be a lay up for Arkansas Dems, but they’ll continue to be feckless I fear. Most rural voters might be lucky enough to have a choice between two Republicans in a primary, both of which would probably take away their SNAP benefits.
An Arkansas lawmaker expressed concern Tuesday that upcoming restrictions on food stamp recipients’ purchases could make SNAP inaccessible to rural Arkansans if the state doesn’t give retailers clear guidance on how to implement the new rules. #arpx #arleg

Completely avoidable, but Republicans would rather you didn’t have healthcare and they have to protect the pedophile in chief.
All of the main hub airports connecting to Little Rock and NW Arkansas - Dallas, Atlanta, Charlotte, Houston, Chicago - are subject to these flight reductions. Memphis is also affected. So, if you're planning to fly ... gird your loins.
