I’m thrilled Roger has finally reappeared, I was feeling just about ready to call the sheriff for a welfare check to see if he’d died or been kidnapped or something.

Holmes County has USA’s highest homicide mortality and is one of 10 Mississippi counties with a homicide mortality rate higher than DC’s. In 2022, citizens begged Judge Lee to make Lexington ask Tate Reeves for help, but the city objected—Judge Lee denied the request, so no one came.

What county in Mississippi does this look like to you?

Holmes County has the nation’s highest homicide rate. People in Lexington actually *wanted* the state to come in, but the city didn’t want that, so no one came. They got a new mayor last month.

Cindy Hyde-Smith would like to give the coast a big “you’re welcome” for the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which she voted against.

One of Mississippi’s senators is in charge of writing USDOT’s budget, which has to pass next month, so MS should be having a conversation about our most critical transportation needs. Our critical needs are rural public transportation and interstates in regions that need them in order to develop.

I think Amtrak on the coast is great, but describing it as being about economic equity is wildly off-base—Mississippi has major transportation barriers currently trapping people in poverty, and Amtrak on the coast is not a solution to the critically serious transportation barriers we do indeed have.
OPINION: "In a state where economic opportunities have historically been limited, improving transportation infrastructure means opening doors to better jobs, increased commerce and stronger communities," Dr. Selika Sweet writes.

@ashtonpittman.bsky.social @heatherharrison.bsky.social Also, I keep seeing posts about the age verification and parental consent parts of the law but not about the mandatory censorship provision, where sites have to have a “strategy.” That’s the part I think is most interesting.

@ashtonpittman.bsky.social @heatherharrison.bsky.social Even if SCOTUS granted the stay, Fitch has already been free for months now to enforce this against sites that weren’t part of the preliminary injunction to begin with, like Bluesky and Substack. What’s she done to enforce this against them?

Trump is illegally imposing the biggest tax increase in American history, and he’s nationalizing formerly private companies along the way as well as flirting with export taxes.

MSGOP chair Mike Hurst says Democrats want too much gov’t control of the economy.

@ashtonpittman.bsky.social Senator Robinson was campaigning to lengthen criminal sentences, but AFAIK no media outlets has yet looked into why that specific issue that she was actively campaigning on did not help her attract voters. Is “tough on crime” not popular? 🤔

School choice would enable dozens, possibly millions, of poor families to commute two times a day from south Jackson to Brandon to drop their kids off in the morning and pick them in the afternoon all as part of a huge conspiracy to destroy Rankin County’s “school culture.”

Eugenics is still eugenics when it comes from liberals and Democrats, FYI.
The voters of Mississippi are so braindead. Hopefully due to the failure to expand Medicaid, more inbreds of the state will die.

A teacher pay raise giving every Mississippi teacher a $5k raise would be regressive because it would disproportionately benefit wealthier school districts. A pay raise giving every teacher a 10% raise would be even more regressive.

Because Democrats are in the minority in Mississippi, Democratic power in Mississippi is at its greatest when either Jason White or Delbert Hosemann needs votes Democrats can provide for something one of them wants to do.

Jason White needs votes Democrats can provide.

This is not the first time protectionist Republicans have imposed massive new taxes on American families and businesses who buy things from overseas. They’ve done this before, here is what happened when they did:

I’m willing to consider a do-over if we include Mississippi for a change.
