Getting sick shouldn’t mean going broke. Period.

When I’m elected, we’re going to expand Medicaid so more than 200,000 hardworking Mississippians can have healthcare.

"What do you mean he's still here? ...

"Robert Taylor's still in Mississippi? ...

"HE'S IN LAUREL???? WOKENESS INVADED THE FREE STATE OF JONES?!?!"

Just caught #thisAmericanLife segment that highlights the policy in Mississippi that requires individual suffrage bills to restore voting rights.

I heard @NeishaLam calling out the ridicoulsness of it all along with others. #unlockthevote

My heart breaks for all of the women and families who will not be able to access reproductive health care because of the selfish political acts of a few Americans

@TODAYshow just had a segment on MDMA (ecstasy) being used in an experimental treatment for PTSD; drug regulation and criminalization has prevented people from truly understanding the benefits of drugs and harm reduction

[TODAY @TODAYshow]

MDMA, also known as ecstasy, is largely known as a club or street drug. But now it’s being touted as a medicine for people struggling with PTSD. @SavannahGuthrie spoke with two patients whose lives have been changed by the therapy.

@DerrickNAACP Facts.

[Derrick Johnson @DerrickNAACP]

Throughout his life, Bob Moses bent the arc of the moral universe towards justice. He was a strategist at the core of the voting rights movement and beyond.

He was a giant.

May his light continue to guide us as we face another wave of Jim Crow laws.

Rest in Power, Bob.

Thank you @BennieGThompson for leading these very important hearings. We’ve heard so much about what happened on #January6th but these frontline accounts are astonishing

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

With so many folks getting together with family and friends, there’s a lot to celebrate this summer. Here’s a playlist of songs I’ve been listening to lately—it's a mix of old and new, household names and emerging artists, and a whole lot in between.

[FeliciaBrownWilliams @FBrownWilliams]

If Mississippi gave a single solitary damn about the sanctity of life OR the future of our children it would expand Medicaid and fully fund schools. Period. Until then, miss me with that.
