Rep. Bailey connects the dots.

Phase out the income tax → raise fees on Mississippians.

You can’t call that tax relief.

The results of Tuesday’s elections are more than just wins—they are proof that Mississippians want balance, accountability, and the Democratic policies that move our state forward: healthcare, education, opportunity, and the right to vote.

This is just the beginning.

[Mississippi Today @MSTODAYnews]

Democrats broke the Republican Party’s two-thirds supermajority in the Mississippi Senate by gaining two new seats, eroding the GOP’s grip on the 52-member chamber for the first time in over a decade.

The people of Mississippi sent us here to lead—not follow.
We won’t be complicit in this mess.
We’re reading the bills.
We’re defending your dollars.
And we’re holding this GOP majority accountable.

[Mississippi House Democrats @MSHouseDems]

It’s called accountability.
The last time Republicans rushed a bill, it was the biggest tax cut in MS history—FULL of typos.
They don’t read.
We do.

[Mississippi House Democrats @MSHouseDems]

We’re not slowing things down to be cute.
We’re slowing things down because this is a $7 BILLION decision—and Republicans gave us HOURS to read it.
Mississippi deserves better.

[Mississippi House Democrats @MSHouseDems]

A “supermajority” that can’t govern is just a super mess.
And guess who’s cleaning it up again?
Democrats. With integrity. With courage. With every line read.

[Mississippi House Democrats @MSHouseDems]

The GOP supermajority didn’t govern for 90 days—and now they’re begging for a rubber stamp.
Nah.

We’re reading EVERY 👏🏾 DAMN 👏🏾 BILL.

[Mississippi House Democrats @MSHouseDems]

Mississippi deserves a budget that reflects OUR values:
📚 Public schools
🏥 Rural hospitals
💵 Working families
Not backroom deals & blank checks.

[Mississippi House Democrats @MSHouseDems]

This isn’t just bad policy—it’s disrespect.
Disrespect to the people of Mississippi.
Disrespect to the process.
And disrespect to every taxpayer footing the bill for this last-minute circus.

[Mississippi House Democrats @MSHouseDems]

You wouldn’t sign a $7B check without reading it.
Neither will we. Republicans handed us these bills at NOON and want a vote tonight.
That’s not governing—that’s negligence.
#GOPChaos #ReadEveryLine

[Mississippi House Democrats @MSHouseDems]

Let’s be real: If the GOP wanted speed, they should’ve done their jobs during the regular session. Democrats are slowing it down—because we’re actually reading the bills.
#ReadEveryLine #MississippiDeservesBetter

[Mississippi House Democrats @MSHouseDems]

The people of Mississippi should be OUTRAGED.
Republicans had 90 days to pass a budget. They didn’t. Now we’re back in session—on your dime—rushing through $7B in bills we just saw TODAY.

📢 PRESS CONFERENCE: The House Democratic Caucus will speak to the media immediately after recess or adjournment today outside the House Chamber. We’ll address the special session + our fight for a people-first budget. #MSLeg #ForThePeople

[Mississippi House Democrats @MSHouseDems]

The Mississippi House Democratic Caucus is holding the line. We will read every bill. We will not be rushed.
We stand for transparency, working families, and budgets that reflect Mississippi’s real priorities—not political games.

#GOPChaos #ReadEveryLine #RepublicansCantGovern

[Mississippi House Democrats @MSHouseDems]

We’re back in special session because the Republican supermajority failed to do their job during the regular 90-day session.
The budget bills were dumped on us at noon today—and they expect us to vote blindly.

[Mississippi House Democrats @MSHouseDems]

The Mississippi Legislature returns to Jackson at 11AM to adopt a $7B budget. House Democrats are ready to get to work—fighting for transparency, equity, and opportunity. Every budget is a moral document. We’re here to protect working Mississippians. #MSLeg

[Mississippi House Democrats @MSHouseDems]

Democrats aren’t the problem. We’re the ones demanding better — for our constituents and for this state.

#GOPChaos #OopsTheyDidItAgain #TypoTaxCut #FastTrackFail

[Mississippi House Democrats @MSHouseDems]

Let’s set the record straight.

Democrats would love the opportunity to read every bill — if the legislative process in Mississippi was actually built for transparency instead of speed, secrecy, and spin. But that’s not what we’re working with.

[Mississippi House Democrats @MSHouseDems]

And let’s not forget: it was the Republican majority that passed the largest tax cut in Mississippi history — a bill riddled with typographical errors. So if we’re talking about reading comprehension, maybe we should start there.
