I love how Outlook deletes meeting emails the moment I hit accept. It’s a genius idea, because obviously I’ll never need the agenda, Zoom link, meeting details, or literally anything else from that email again. Truly incredible software.

1. All roads lead to Rome

[Jonathan Allen @jallen1985]

Every state but one had employment growth from December 2022 to December 2023.

In Mississippi, employment fell.

No flagpoles.
No pepper spray.
No fire extinguishers.
No smashed windows.
No beaten police officers.
No feces smeared on the walls.
No chanting of hanging people.

Just peaceful protesting.
And they were expelled.

Fuck you, Tennessee GOP.
This ain't over.

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

Three Democratic Representatives in Tennessee were supposed to be expelled for violating decorum rules.

Only two of them, two Black men, were expelled. Rep. Gloria Johnson, a White woman, was not expelled.

All three allegedly violated the same rule. The Black men were singled out.

THE TENNESSEE GOP IS RACIST.

There's no other way to look at what happened yesterday.

Mississippi in a state of crisis. It is the poorest state in the nation -- with some of the worst health outcomes. They have lost 54% of hospitals in the state. This is a direct result of its Republican leaders refusing to expand Medicaid. https://t.co/J7TjvmA3qE

[Jill Filipovic @JillFilipovic]

I would personally like to thank @AUL for their annual ranking of America's most "pro-life" state. It's super informative, and so I would like to celebrate what these states are doing for mothers and babies. Let's start with Mississippi, really redefining what it means to be #1.

BREAKING: We’re suing Mississippi for its illegally gerrymandered state legislative district maps.

These unconstitutional maps dilute the voting power of Black Mississippians, denying us the opportunity to elect representatives of our choosing.

[Ashton Pittman @ashtonpittman]

NEW: Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves talked to Brett Favre about getting state funds to pay the remaining $1.6 million he owed on a volleyball stadium at USM after the State stopped using welfare funds for the project.

We have the text messages. 🧵

Dispatches from Mississippi, the state with the worst outcomes, the poorest state, and the Blackest state.

Mississippi's largely white GOP leadership yearly refuses over $1 billion to expand Medicaid, provide care for 200k-300k working poor residents, and save rural hospitals.

[Ashton Pittman @ashtonpittman]

NEW: A Russian hacker group took down the Mississippi Secretary of State's website for hours in an Election Day cyber attack.

The DDoS attack did not change any votes, but prevented voters from accessing the state's polling place locator tool.
