In the past, our stories have disproportionately featured white voices. We’re working to change that and create journalism that reflects all of Mississippi. Want to get involved? https://t.co/558gFjo7Q7
Breaking: Gov. Tate Reeves just signed the bill that officially removes the Mississippi state flag.
Here's a look at how Reeves consistently equivocated and worked to plant one foot on each side of the debate. In the end, he lost both sides.

Exactly, the Mississippi legislature is known as a superbly nimble and rapid acting body; just give us the durn money and we’ll get it out the door with the quickness. #msleg#msgov
The governor's case for wanting to keep control of handing out the 1.25 billion: It would hurt people if he did not have control because he can hand it out quicker. Will be interested in hearing the Speaker and Lt. Governor's take on this.
-Staff To Do List-
1) Research duties of Governor
2) Identify legislation to transfer said power to Lt. Governor
3) Brainwash State Senators into ignoring separation of powers

"Hey guys, people are dying?"
"LOL SNOWFLAKE, let Large Adult Son handle it."
"okay but someone left a bag of money..."
"WE'RE COMING IN EARLY."

And they thought I was gonna stop micromanaging them once they left Jackson. Ha!
Ain't like they've got anything else to do just sitting around the house and all. #msleg
@DelbertHosemann Hosemann said they will be sending bills and resolutions to committees and asked that members read up on those and be ready to hit the ground running when they come back, in Hopefully 2 weeks #msleg
After a wild day at #msleg, @DelbertHosemann and @PhilipGunnMS discussed their legislation and the session’s postponement with reporters. Then Hosemann paused and said he wanted to send a message to Mississippians:
I'm gonna do the talky talk and just let y'all know how I'm gonna run the state over the next few months while those buzzards in the house are out of town.
#msleg#msgov
When I tell the press how things are gonna be in the capitol it's called leadership.
The proper response is for you to F-O-L-L-O-W my lead.
I'm sure you'll learn soon enough. #msleg#msgov
We are streaming every committee meeting and providing all committee agendas 24 hours in advance.
Why would we possibly need press in the building with such transparency? #msleg#msgov
This is bizarre. Credentialed press must be allowed in. Leaders need to make that clear to Capitol security. As some members of press being turned away, @GBolognaCL and I just walked in with zero issues. #msleg
I don't know how these goofballs have done it in the past but My Senate is gonna work those committees remotely from all corners of the state like they've never been worked remotely before.
It'll be magical. Just you wait and see. #msleg#msgov
Speaker Phillip Gunn, to full House floor:
"We have decided to work to suspend the session. Bottom line is we are asking you to just put a pause button on where we are and give us a buffer, a break.
We will pick back up where we left off." #msleg
I know exactly what's going on.
I, Philbert Gilbert Hosemann, will force my staff to show up at work at 8 am every day for the next 6 months until they have convinced every Mississippian that I am the real Governor.
This will be the first time in Mississippi's modern history that a legislative session has been suspended indefinitely.
A look into deliberations yesterday:

@GanucheauAdam I've been crystal clear.
No one is allowed inside the building except for State Senators who have duly acknowledged me as the one valid source of wisdom and truth.
