Scott Colom in a recent letter asked U.S. Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith to reconsider her opposition to his nomination to the federal bench. https://t.co/duc5TPzEZJ

It should be no surprise that the "blue slip" process used by home-state senators to block judicial nominees started with a Mississippi senator. And it should be no surprise that it was started to discriminate against Black Americans. https://t.co/d0RBUPjr2z

Mississippians who fail to vote in at least one local, state, or federal election over a two-year period could be listed as inactive and only able to vote by affidavit ballot if state lawmakers approve and Gov. Tate Reeves signs House Bill 1310 into law.

I don’t care if someone works at Burger King, Walmart, Dollar General—anywhere. If someone is working full time, there is no reason their paycheck shouldn’t cover food & rent.

This shouldn’t be controversial.

After 38 years of serving Dist 69, my colleague, Rep. Alyce Clarke announced her retirement yday. Rep. Clarke, first African American women elected to #msleg, has served as a trailblazer to all women who came behind her. I’m very grateful & honored to have served alongside her.

The phone number for Senator Hyde-Smith's DC office is 202-224-5054, and she wants constituents to tell her if Scott Colom should be a federal judge.

Colom is supported by @SenatorWicker @BennieGThompson @RepTrentKelly. You can also contact CHS here: https://t.co/6HArfZftXD

Breaking: Republicans have unanimously voted to promote Marjorie Taylor Greene to the Homeland Security Committee. Greene previously suggested 9/11 was faked. https://t.co/8yMulWRDJB

Mississippi deserves leaders who fight for our families, children and workers rather than themselves and their rich friends. We deserve leaders who will never forget where they came from or who put them in office.

That's why I'm running for Governor of Mississippi.

NEW: Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch is urging the Supreme Court not to review Mississippi's Jim Crow felony disenfranchisement law, telling the justices that the State “purged" any racist "taint" from the 1890 law with changes in the 1950s-1960s.

Low-income women in Mississippi have less access to health care in the months after giving birth than their counterparts in every state except Wyoming. With an eye-opening map from @IsabelleTaft: https://t.co/KeiPLbk6X2

@MSGOP So stupid.

[Kristy Bennett @kristylbennett]

@SenatorWicker Every time I open Twitter you are the first Tweet I see. Just get tired of your hypocrisy. I wish people in MS would vote differently & get rid of all of our sitting Congress members. Offer a Bill for term limits. Adoption agencies already bilk the system. Hobbs is problematic.

“Keeping Black people out of white hospitals was more important to Southern politicians than providing poor whites with the means to get medical treatment,” Krugman wrote. https://t.co/kgtwy6ZVdp

@tatereeves So delusional. You don’t care what parents want.
