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.

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? 🤔

There’s lots we could do to help reduce crime in the Mississippi counties in this list. That would improve things for lots of black people in lots of black-majority counties. We should do that, but we’re not.
August 12, 2025 at 1:50 AM
To be fair, if Trump was offering assistance for effective crime-reduction strategies that places with the greatest crime problems could voluntarily accept, that would be great for a lot of black-majority areas. MS has 10 black-majority counties with higher homicide mortality rates than DC’s.

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.”

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.

Who does everyone want to win and lose these primaries today?

It would be fun to have a Walker Wildmon- @ashtonpittman.bsky.social debate sometime.

Dr. Burk, who directed the literacy program when the improvement occurred, says improvement resulted from professional development, targeted interventions to prevent failure, and state oversight/support/accountability by the state department of education.

30 years later, in 2022, Judge Wingate pointed out that the MS Legislature openly admits that it continues to pack black voters into MS’s 2nd district to meet an arbitrary racial quota, whitening other districts.

Interesting because Kirk Fordice admitted in 1992 to doing just what the GOP now condemns.
