THIS IS THE PROCESS IN EVERY UNEXPLAINED DEATH CASE.

[Magnolia Tribune @magnoliatribune]

BREAKING NEWS: Multiple sources have confirmed to Magnolia Tribune that the initial autopsy performed on Nolan Wells by the Mississippi State Medical Examiner as well as the toxicology report ordered by that office has been completed, with the results sent to the Jackson County District Attorney.

This is a significant step as the investigation into the death of the 18-year-old continues.

@bfeidt It is true. It's called the enrollment cliff. Yes, the legislature has put them on notice

Biomarker testing can help folks catch cancer earlier and fight it better. That’s why we passed new legislation that requires expanded coverage for biomarker testing for insurance companies. Proud to help Mississippians get the resources they need to beat cancer.

Good job law enforcement. Hey social media justice cranks, there's another side to the coin: https://t.co/tvWte1DoH4

I read a biography of James K. Polk. He's definitely underrated.

[Echoes of War @EchoesofWarYT]

James K. Polk, the 11th President of the United States, took a grand total of 42 days off in his entire four years in office. Out of roughly 1,460 days, he spent all but 42 of them at his desk. He may be the biggest workaholic ever to hold the job. He rose before dawn, worked deep into the night, personally read nearly every document that crossed his path, and treated relaxing like a personal enemy.

His wife Sarah ran the White House to match. A devout woman, she banned dancing, banned card games, and banned hard liquor in the building. No parties, no music, no fun, just work. When she once begged him to put his papers down and get some rest, he responded by handing her a stack of documents to read on his behalf. Even his idea of delegating was still more work.

What makes it wild is how effective all that grinding actually was. Polk walked into office as a "dark horse," a candidate almost nobody expected to win, and a protégé of Andrew Jackson nicknamed "Young Hickory." He then laid out four enormous goals for his single term: lower the tariff, restore an independent treasury, settle the Oregon border dispute with Britain, and acquire California from Mexico. He accomplished all four. He added more than 800,000 square miles to the country and stretched the United States all the way to the Pacific Ocean. Few Presidents have ever gotten that much done, and almost none did it in one term.

Then, true to his word, he kept his promise not to run again and walked away completely drained. And here is the almost dark ending. Just three months after leaving office, worn down to nothing, he caught cholera and died at 53, one of the shortest post-presidency lives in history. Many historians believe he quite literally worked himself into an early grave, that four years of nonstop labor left his body too weak to fight the illness off.

So the real James K. Polk: 42 days off in four years, banned fun in his own house, quietly reshaped the entire map of the country, checked off every goal he set, and then dropped dead months later from sheer exhaustion.

That's a President.

Mississippi is cracking down on illegal immigrants driving on our roads. Under SB2322, certain out-of-state driver’s licenses are considered invalid for individuals who cannot prove they are in the country legally. One thing is clear: Mississippi will NOT be a sanctuary state.

Under Mississippi law, it is now a crime for state and local law enforcement to interfere with federal authorities enforcing federal immigration laws. They are here for a reason, and it’s time to let them do their job.

[Sen. Brice Wiggins @bricewigginsMS]

@bill_cork_ms @supertalk Thank you. All trying to make Mississippi better.

[Sen. Brice Wiggins @bricewigginsMS]

Are you still a little confused about what kind of action Mississippi lawmakers took on Youth Court Reform? I had a great conversation with my friends over at @supertalk we unpacked just what went down, and why it matters to you. https://t.co/ijGRV3ZwJw

[Sen. Brice Wiggins @bricewigginsMS]

Thank you @sidsalter for your poignant explanation of our previous Youth Court system and the need for something new and better. I look forward to seeing transparency and accountability returned to courtrooms across Mississippi. https://t.co/d5VVBj7YNx

Mississippi: Number 1 in Southern hospitality, Number 1 in college football championships… and apparently Number 1 in broken McFlurry machines. It’s time to turn this ship around!

According to The Action Network, 34% of the time you go to McDonald’s in Mississippi, the ice cream machine will be down.
