The obvious question, will current legislators eligible for retirement who won reelection: resign this month, retire, then been sworn in next month so they can get both their retirement and pay instead of just their pay? #mselex #msleg

Most people do not welcome a phone call from the Internal Revenue Service, but a recent call means that Mississippi’s retired public employees can serve in the Legislature and draw their pension. https://t.co/gVJlQnkEUz

If this happened under leadership of Mississippi Democrats they would claim it proof their policies work. But it happened under Republican leadership. Still, Democrats want voters to change from this success and return to the failed Democratic policies of the past. #mselex #msgov

Student performance lags on Nation's Report Card, but Mississippi scores surge. #msedu https://t.co/OTnMRhXuP3

[FreeRange @FreeRangePoliti]

There are Mississippi Democrats actually pissed about this. The only thing that makes them madder than students performing poorly under Republican leadership is students improving and doing better under Republican leadership. #ItAllStartsWithEducation #mselex

Mississippi was the only state in the country to improve reading scores, and was number one in the country for gains in fourth-grade reading and math, according to newly released test results. #msedu https://t.co/xkyBNq2TXF

Staggering timeline. Investigators wrap it up late last year. No action for 6 months until deep into campaign. Hood takes control, rewrites, releases, Hood's campaign uses taxpayer funded investigation into Hood's political rival in campaign commercials. #mselex #MSGOV

Records: Hood's office spent about 300 hours investigating Reeves and the frontage road #msgov https://t.co/9hTN3JJNFa

There are certain evils that should not be used as metaphors in public discourse. Outrage is understandable. When the outrage isn't consistent, it exposes the outrage as political, not sincere. It diminishes those evils to political tools.

Democrat Jim Hood is trying the "throw the money changers out of the temple" line that worked so well for John Arthur Eaves, Jr. in 2007. #mselex #MSGOV

[FreeRange @FreeRangePoliti]

@peterbakernyt @katieglueck @alexburnsNYT Or for that matter, when Joe Biden was a senior member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee?

@AmericaRising The Biden family has been shamelessly profiting off of Joe Biden's name for years on deals both foreign and domestic. They don't mind working with shady figures to do it. https://t.co/zvuS0AcPGi

EXPOSED: Mississippi lawyers later jailed for judicial corruption planned to partner with Biden family to create firm with foreign interests to profit off of Joe Biden's office. #maga #trump2020

Mark Baker: "Hood's inquisition failed"

[FreeRange @FreeRangePoliti]

Mark Baker "Hood’s personal inquisition amounted to nothing...he’s running attack ads misconstruing as accurate these refuted claims...Abuse of office by coordinating with political personnel to influence an active investigation, now that’s something that should be investigated."

[FreeRange @FreeRangePoliti]

Pretty big cross over endorsement. The state's last Democrat Secretary of State endorsing the current Republican Secretary of State in his race to be Lieutenant Governor. Jay Hughes has got to be unhappy. #mselex #msltgov

Thank you, Dr. Clark, for your service to our State and for your support. #TeamDelbert

Shorter Jim Hood: "Ever time I lose a lawsuit it costs the state millions of dollars. And that is the fault of Tate Reeves."

[Mississippi Today @MSTODAYnews]

Jim Hood says if Tate Reeves had listened to his warnings in 2013 the state would not have been found liable by a federal judge this week of not providing the mandated community-based services for mentally ill patients. #MSElex https://t.co/1QArzWqVya

Thanks, Mike. I, too, oppose raising the gas tax. #mselex

Almost 40% of Americans can’t afford a $400 emergency. This is our reality in America. We need policies that lift everyday families up, not deepen the pockets of the wealthy.

This is the kind of thing @HoodForGovernor will tear up @BillWallerMS on. #msgov #mselex

Jackson elites believe the swamp knows best #MSGOV #mselex

[Governor Tate Reeves @tatereeves]

Bill Waller says the Jackson Metro area is more "informed" and "read up." Unlike people in North MS, the Pine Belt, or the Coast? He says he lost them because people "close to the capitol understand the issues." Insulting. Sounds like the way elites in DC talk about Mississippi.

Jim Hood has been one of Mississippi's least influential law enforcement officials when it comes to prosecuting individuals in illegal immigration cases. Hood has been even less aggressive in prosecuting businesses under his jurisdiction of the state e-verify law. #mselex #msgov

[Mississippi Today @MSTODAYnews]

Mike Hurst has been one of Mississippi’s most influential law enforcement officials when it comes to prosecuting individuals in illegal immigration cases. However, Hurst has been less aggressive in prosecuting businesses. https://t.co/BlbO5hYasz

Great question for @MississippiAGO Jim Hood. What say ye, @HoodForGovernor ? #mselex #MSGOV

[Claire McCaskill @clairecmc]

When 600 agents were making a show of arresting 680 undocumented immigrants working at Mississippi processing plants, did anyone bother to arrest the employers? Or did they leave them undisturbed in the back room counting their money?

[FreeRange @FreeRangePoliti]

Of course they have space available. With everyone pulling out of their event, they might as well invite a monster truck rally. #finishthepumps

[Adam Ganucheau @GanucheauAdam]

After MS Democratic Party staffers Jacquie Amos and Bobby Moak's clashing quotes on whether the party should host a debate, Moak sent the entire Democratic Executive Committee and others (83 people total) a clarifying email. Copied below.
