Today, I proudly re-announce my candidacy for the U.S. Senate. This is more than a campaign; it is a movement—a testament to what we can achieve as Mississippians when we stand together.

Hey GOP!
#January6thInsurrection was NOT "legitimate political discourse" or a "normal tourist visit" & those in prison for participating are NOT hostages, but convicted criminals held accountable for their actions!

I never thought our country would take a backseat to Brazil on anything but soccer. Yet their right wing party stood by their last election, unlike ours. Fuck the @GOP for what they’ve done to our democracy in the last three years!

At this moment 3 years ago, I was presiding with then-Vice President Pence over the Joint Session of Congress to certify the 2020 election and the peaceful transfer of power to President Biden and Vice President Harris when a violent mob—enflamed by the former president—stormed the Capitol.
More than 2,000 rioters made it inside the building. Some in the massive crowd chanted “hang Mike Pence” while others swarmed outside my office chanting “Nancy, Nancy, Nancy,” even screaming about wanting to put a bullet in my head. Sadly, 140 police officers were injured by rioters. Many sustained long-lasting physical and emotional scars. Some officers later lost their lives. I feared for my members, the congressional staff, the workers who maintain the Capitol, the press, and the others who were present that day. Their stories are harrowing—and demonstrate extraordinary courage.
When the Capitol was eventually cleared, the Congress returned to certify the electoral count for the American people and the world alike to see.
January 6 was a perilous moment for our democracy. It was an attack not just on the Capitol, but on our Constitution. And some who carried out the assault under Lincoln’s dome were carrying the Confederate flag. But on that dark night, Congress again projected America’s strength and resolve.
3 years later, it is essential that #DemocratsDefendDemocracy with courage and commitment to ensure that next January 6th will be a peaceful and proud day for the American people. -NP
January 6 was a coup in plain sight.
Republicans want you to forget what happened. The try every day to gaslight you and revise history.
On this 3rd anniversary of the attack on our nation, be sure the share the truth far and wide and use the hashtag #TrumpAttackedDemocracy.
MAGAs are actually wishing each other a “Happy J6.” January 6 was one of the most tragic, horrifying days in American history. trump terrorists inflicted millions of dollars in damage on the US Capitol. People DIED. And they’re HAPPY about it?! Their depravity knows no bounds.
"You have to get over it."

NO. We're not going to "get over" children being slaughtered.
Trump is a heartless sociopathic monster.
