Throwing more federal $$$ at healthcare is not the answer. Rigged rules are pushing up healthcare costs. The key to improving health outcomes is removing crony capitalist restrictions put in place by vested interests. https://t.co/YkUIw1OXPw @douglascarswell @mspolicy @AaronRRice

Meaningful state-by-state elections reform is the issue at hand. Ban ballot harvesting. Reform states like Georgia where the Republican Secretary of State made a deal with Dems on mail-in balloting that weakened signature verification. https://t.co/4Oog6Ek6Jk

According to a new Rasmussen survey,

Black voter support for Trump is at 31%!

Big threat to the Dems.

[Governor Tate Reeves @tatereeves]

Just spoke with @realDonaldTrump and he expressed his full support for the people of Mississippi as we deal with the fallout of Zeta. Anything we need in this emergency, he’ll get it to us. Grateful for a President who is never off the clock—working hard to protect Americans.

[Haley Barbour @HaleyBarbour]

What fun! There are two Haley Barbour’s in politics. There’s me – the ex GOP governor – and a woman Democratic fundraiser now in Kansas. I wish all Haley Barbour’s well. Maybe I can persuade her to switch parties. 😉

[Dinesh D'Souza @DineshDSouza]

If this is true, the Democrats are in for a big shock in 10 days. Long term, it could spell the end of the Democratic Party itself. No plantation=No Democratic Party!

[Governor Tate Reeves @tatereeves]

Over the weekend there has been a proposal floating amongst some in the legislature to create a second Mississippi flag. Let’s call it the “Separate but Equal” flag option.

While well-intentioned I’m sure, it does not meet the threshold.
