Asked if he forgives Cindy Hyde-Smith for blocking his nomination for a federal judgeship in 2022:
COLOM: I forgive her. I'm a District Attorney. I mean, I see mothers forgive people that killed their son, right? ... To the best of my knowledge, I don't think an African American's being confirmed to any federal position since cindy hyde-smith has been in office. And what that tells us is she's not representing all people.
@HQNewsNow Trump was on the ballot - and so was the Iran war, and the Medicaid cuts, and the tariffs, and the ICE raids, and gas prices, and the cost of living...
The star of Senator-elect Scott Colom's famous "Pick Another Protein" ad—an army veteran and father—is still adjusting to his online fame.
“A lot of people don’t know much about Mississippi,” he said. “And look at us now. We’re worldwide.”

Early in his Senate campaign, Scott Colom asked his supporters to trust the impossible. All Democrats should watch this.
COLOM: What I need you to do is the most powerful thing, but also the hardest thing. I'm going to ask you to believe in something that nobody has seen.
@EdKrassen Cindy Hyde-Smith blocked Scott Colom from a federal judgeship in 2022. On election night she said she had blocked him from being a Senator, too.
Cindy, meet Senator-elect Scott Colom.

HAPPENING NOW: Oversight Dem responds to threats from Trump's Attorney General on his planned corruption investigations:
GARCIA: It's ironic that the Attorney General—the person at the center of the White House coverup on the Jeffrey Epstein investigation who won't release the all of the documents to the public—it's ironic that he's trying to give a lecture on the constitution.
James Talarico is bursting on the scene, but his inspiring message isn't new. Watch this 2019 speech where Texas got a preview of their future Senator.
TALARICO: Sometimes, politics brings out the worst in people. But there are times when people bring out the best in politics.
