A Vet Day and Mississippi’s first Black Senator story.
My Uncle Frances was a 1st Lt. who was shot multiple times fighting in France. Never fully recovered. Came back to Mississippi and became a civil rights lawyer.
He later taught at Antioch Law School where he had @scott_colom mom and dad as students. They met at Antioch.
I was talking to Scott’s dad the other day and he was saying how much my Uncle Francis would have loved this moment.
The Colom family story is America at its best. Scott’s grandmother was a civil rights worker in Ripley, Ms. his dad co-founded the Innocence Project with John Grisham. His mom is the first Black female Chancery court judge in Ms.
And now Scott is a US Senator.

The Jackson airport is named after Medgar Evers. And if you've flown there, you know there's a small exhibit dedicated to honoring Evers's life. You also know that this picture from his funeral hangs on the wall.

Jordan: Hold my beer...
You were critical when gas was $3.07 when President Biden was in office. If you thought that was bad, what is $4.53?
Jim Jordan: "Well, we all want gas prices to go down, Kaitlan. But we also are concerned about Iran and this regime that has done so much evil and harm around the world to Americans, to Israelis, to other people, to their own people..."

Others have made this point. I’m just echoing them. Last Tuesday was the biggest polling error of the 21st century. I don’t think I’ve seen a single story abt “reckonings” for the polling industry. Is polling broken? What did we miss? For general press it’s only an issue if GOP strength is missed.

Seriously not sure Democrats could have scripted a better Republican response to last week’s historic midterm defeat than Stephen Miller becoming White House chief of staff and Jim Jordan taking over House Republican leadership.

At this point, a federal ban on partisan gerrymandering is the only thing that can protect Republicans from themselves.

I wish they both were here to see this night. Just so damn proud to have been raised a Texas Democrat.

Per Sharia law, all meals at the Cheesecake Factory must now begin with a land acknowledgement.
Never forget: the entire Republican Party sold their very souls and were perfectly willing to sell out the country and constitution…
For this miserable asshole

This is a surprise. We can now report that Boss Hogg has been unseated in Hazzard County
Like the Farmer’s Almanac, there’s something almost comforting that this snake oil is still around
Allan Lichtman, who has correctly predicted all but one presidential election since 1984, delivered his final verdict on the upcoming midterm election.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Lichtman has not correctly predicted all but one presidential election since 1984. He missed 2024 outright and his 2000 call for Gore is disputed as it matched the popular vote winner but not the Electoral College outcome.
