Please tell everyone to stop tweeting at Rudy. Instead, everyone having a complaint should write to the office in New York responsible for attorney discipline.

NEW: In 2012, Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves helped Southern Co get an extra $1 billion for its now-failed “clean coal” Kemper plant—paid for by raising Mississippians’ monthly power bills.
MS Power PAC has donated at least $27,000 to Reeves in the years since.

Everyone should pledge to boycott his book publisher until he testifies before the House or the Senate.
You can't make Bolton testify by shaming him. The way to get things done in America is to hit a corporation in the pocketbook.

Loretta from Mississippi is no fan of Trump's, to put it lightly.
"I've never seen anything like Trump's America... I don't understand how people think this man is Christian when none of his behavior lines up with any Christian belief that I've ever seen or heard of."
Don't drag
@JRubinBlogger
because she wrote
#Bloombefg
in a tweet. Drag her because she repeatedly pits Warren and Klobuchar against each other just because they're the remaining women candidates.
One of many examples:
Asked about USM's volleyball stadium in H'burg funded w/ $5M welfare funds, Tate said: "I'm not real excited about [HBCU] Jackson State building a football stadium."
Tate said to fundraise. Coach Sanders already donates half his salary for stadium repairs.
THREAD: Mississippi schools that don't require masks should not just say "voluntary masking." They should say masking is required unless the parents opt a child out of masking.
Most importantly, the opt-out process should be identical to Mississippi's absentee voting process. 1/

Friends of the Ridgeland Library posted a non-exhaustive list highlighting a few of the authors it will have to remove if it is forced to comply with Mayor McGee's demand to censor all LGBT content.
NEW: Anti-LGBTQ activists from Massachusetts and California are planning to crowd a meeting in Ridgeland, Mississippi, tonight to demand the defunding of the local library unless it agrees to ban LGBTQ+ books from its shelves.

Cindy Hyde-Smith said we need the CHIPS Act but that she voted against it because she thought it was overloaded with spending.
Paul asked what was in the bill that Cindy doesn't support...and Cindy said she didn't know. 🤦♂️
MAGA Republicans want to cut the CHIPS and Science Act and strip away our investments for the next generation of science and technology.
That would mean ceding the future of innovation and technology to China.
We’re not going to let them undo the progress we’ve made.

I am still waiting to hear his explanation for abandoning the Kurds. The only explanation I've heard from anyone why 300,000 of our allies are now displaced is that, per Bolton, Trump was grifting with Turkey.
Zelensky is staying in Kyiv to rally his people while armed attackers try to assassinate him.
Our elected officials won't even speak to reporters or participate in debates when they're up for re-election.
@SethAbramson
It's also a sore spot for McConnell. McConnell requested an explanation why we abandoned the Kurds, and Trump never gave him one.

A judge thanking jurors for serving with integrity at the end of the day is about the same as the judge telling them good morning at the start.
A guy in Oxford MS is arguing that the Civil War wasn't about slavery or racism. He keeps saying "succeed" instead of "secede."
Sir, the Confederacy did NOT succeed. 🤣

Mayor McAdams of Greenwood is now pleading with people to call Tate Reeves, ask him to expand Medicaid, and get 20 of their friends to do the same.
McAdams is not a Democrat. She beats the Democratic nominee every four years, often narrowly.

His platform included NOTHING else. Not a single commitment to do anything for the people of Mississippi.

Tate Reeves attacked Kamala Harris for visiting Greenville, arguing it wasn't worth the VP's time.
Just this week, Tate paid a Jackson company to relocate to Madison.
It's MS's time to close the door on governors who are only for some areas of the state and against others.
This is worth reading. I have no doubt that a stronger anti-SLAPP law will become law in VA soon. Thanks to the

I saw breeders was trending, and tbh I thought it was going to be some gay somewhere saying something derogatory about the straights.
But no. It's a self-own.
