Faithful America Names Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders Among 'False Prophets' of Christian Nationalism

Faithful America, a national organization, has included Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders in its annual list of 'false prophets' of Christian nationalism. This designation is part of their 'False Prophets Don’t Speak for Me' campaign, which aims to expose religious-right leaders accused of twisting the gospel to promote hatred, division, and political power. Governor Sanders is one of ten individuals named in this year's list, which also includes former members of the Trump administration and current political candidates. Faithful America describes itself as an organization that educates, organizes, and mobilizes social-justice Christians to advance Jesus’ prophetic vision and challenge white Christian nationalism. This marks the fourth annual effort by the organization to highlight figures they believe are misrepresenting Christian values for political ends.

Arkansas Families Advocate for Special Legislative Session to Address Decade-Long CES Waiver Waitlist

Families in Arkansas are intensifying their advocacy for a special legislative session to eliminate a decade-long waitlist for Community and Employment Support (CES) waivers. Paige McCammon, a mother whose son Turner has a rare neurological disorder and requires constant monitoring, is leading efforts to pressure Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders and state legislators.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's Judicial Philosophy Debated in Supreme Court Opinion

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's Judicial Philosophy Debated in Supreme Court Opinion

Justice Amy Coney Barrett's opinion in the case of Trump v. CASA has drawn attention to a significant debate regarding judicial authority, particularly in relation to Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's approach. Justice Barrett's opinion directly critiqued Justice Jackson, suggesting that Jackson's stance on judicial power was inconsistent. According to Barrett, Jackson was simultaneously criticizing an 'imperial executive' while advocating for an 'imperial judiciary.' This critique emerged in the context of a broader discussion about the extent to which a single federal district judge can suspend a presidential policy nationwide before the issue has been fully adjudicated through the appellate courts and ultimately by the Supreme Court. The case itself, Trump v. CASA, is presented as a pivotal moment for the Supreme Court to address fundamental questions about the authority to govern the United States. The core of the disagreement, as highlighted by Barrett, centers on the appropriate limits and scope of jud...

Rep. Steve Womack Warns of Impending Social Security Benefit Cuts by 2032

Rep. Steve Womack Warns of Impending Social Security Benefit Cuts by 2032

Rep. Steve Womack, an Arkansas Republican, has voiced concerns about the impending financial challenges facing Social Security, stating that a "train wreck is going to happen" by 2032. Current projections indicate that the Social Security retirement and survivors trust fund will deplete its reserves by that year. If Congress fails to act, incoming payroll taxes would only be sufficient to cover approximately 78% of scheduled benefits, leading to significant reductions for millions of Americans. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates that this shortfall could result in an average monthly reduction of about $500 nationally, under a roughly 24% cut scenario. Some states, such as Connecticut, New Jersey, and New Hampshire, could experience even larger average losses. The size of individual cuts would vary based on the original benefit amount, meaning those receiving larger checks would see a greater dollar reduction.

Justice Neil Gorsuch Part of Supreme Court Majority in White House Ballroom Case

Justice Neil Gorsuch Part of Supreme Court Majority in White House Ballroom Case

Justice Neil Gorsuch was among the five conservative justices who formed the majority in a recent 5-4 Supreme Court ruling. This decision dismissed a lawsuit filed by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which aimed to challenge President Trump's plans for constructing a White House ballroom. The majority opinion, as reported by SCOTUSBlog, stated that the plaintiff likely lacked the legal standing to challenge the project. Harvard University legal scholar Noah Feldman highlighted that this ruling has broader implications beyond the specific ballroom project, suggesting it significantly narrows the grounds for federal lawsuits by watchdog groups. The dissent in this case included Chief Justice John Roberts, along with Democrat-appointed Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Ketanji Brown Jackson, and Elena Kagan. The majority consisted of GOP-appointed Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Amy Coney Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh, and Neil Gorsuch.

Tornado Alley States Face High Insurance Costs Amid Affordable Housing

Tornado Alley States Face High Insurance Costs Amid Affordable Housing

In Tornado Alley states like Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana, affordable housing prices are offset by high insurance premiums due to severe weather risks. Oklahoma, for instance, has low home sale prices, but homeowners often face elevated costs for wind and hail coverage, with some requiring separate windstorm policies. Similarly, Arkansas experiences above-average insurance costs due to tornadoes and severe thunderstorms, though these are not as high as Gulf Coast hurricane risks. In Louisiana, while inland properties offer lower insurance costs, homes near the coast face significantly higher premiums due to flood zones and storm surge risks. These factors highlight the trade-offs between affordable housing and the ongoing costs of ownership in weather-prone regions. (Source time: Wed, 02 Sep 2026 14:56:36 GMT)

House Intelligence Committee Chair Rick Crawford Urges Vigilance Against Drone and AI Threats Post-9/11

Representative Rick Crawford, a Republican from Arkansas and Chair of the House Intelligence Committee, is advocating for increased vigilance against emerging threats such as drone attacks and artificial intelligence. Speaking to 'Just the News,' Crawford emphasized that the nation cannot afford a 'lack of imagination' in addressing these new challenges. He plans to present a roadmap for protecting the U.S. from future threats during an upcoming field hearing in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, marking the 25th anniversary of 9/11. Crawford expressed concern that the country has not done enough to prevent future attacks potentially driven by AI, drone swarms, biological weapons, or cyberattacks. He highlighted that adversaries do not organize based on U.S. bureaucracies but rather exploit vulnerabilities, making it crucial for the U.S. to identify these weaknesses first. The committee's work, typically conducted behind closed doors, is being brought to a public forum to encourage serious reflection on preventing...
