SENATOR SCOTT COLOM (Mississippi)-D. In honor of all those who lost their lives in Freedom Summer. For Medgar Evers. For Fannie Lou Hammer. For our ancestors. There’s Blood on that Ballot Box.
Helen Whately has been an MP since 2015 when she was elected MP for Faversham and Mid-Kent.
Helen has held several positions within the Conservative party but is now employed as a full-time demagogue, attacking disabled and sick people for claiming much needed benefits.
Guess how much Helen has claimed in ̶P̶a̶r̶l̶i̶a̶m̶e̶n̶t̶a̶r̶y̶ ̶b̶e̶n̶e̶f̶i̶t̶s̶ expenses since becoming an MP? 👇
Helen is actively working to make those much less fortunate than herself … much worse off.
While having claimed almost TWO MILLION pounds from the public purse in expenses.
Just utterly reprehensible.
Charles Taylor, Executive Director of the Mississippi NAACP on the U.S. Senate race: “I believe it was providential that it was a week and a day later, because the eyes of the country recognize all of the things that happened and need to transpire in order for us to change our election systems… we need to make sure that every Mississippian eligible has the right and the ease to vote.”
Congratulations to Scott Colom on winning his election and making history as Mississippi's first Black senator since Reconstruction.
Scott ran on a bold agenda — taking on Big Tech, the billionaire class and corruption in Washington — and WON.
Scott: Welcome to the Senate.
HISTORY MADE: For the first time since the Reconstruction era, Mississippi—the state with the highest percentage of Black residents—will finally have a Black U.S. Senator.
Congratulations, Senator-elect Scott Colom!
The power is with the people, and the people of Mississippi are with Scott.
@scott_colom makes history today as the first Black senator elected in Mississippi since Reconstruction. I saw firsthand when campaigning with him in his hometown that he is a brilliant leader and dedicated public servant who will work tirelessly to serve every Mississippian with pride.
Congratulations, Scott.
Scott Colom is expected to speak tonight after being declared the winner of Mississippi's Senate race. We'll take his remarks live during the 9 p.m. ET/8 CT hour. The sign on his lectern reads: "PICKED ANOTHER SENATOR."
"No more delay. Open all the crossings, not just one. Let our vital NGO partners work. Allow the commercial markets to function. Stop this collective punishment. Fund the plan. End this predictable, preventable suffering. The world is not powerless here."#Gaza
We may have had to count One Mississippi, Two Mississippi, but Blue Mississippi sure has a nice ring to it! Scott, you put your heart and soul into this race because you believe in the promise of your state’s people. And they believed in you right back. I’m honored to have stood alongside you. Congratulations!

If you’ve ever been to the spot at Arlington where Hegseth got reprimanded, you know it’s one of the most solemn, heaviest, emotional places in America. Most would never dream of being loud or laughing while we are there. But Hegseth, on Vet’s Day of all days, is a classless ass.
