SENATOR-ELECT COLOM: I've been telling everybody that we're going to win this election. I was saying it 8 or 9 months ago. But every time I said it, I pointed out that people were going to give me too much credit for it because it's not something that I did. It's something that we did.
All I did was have the courage to imagine a night like this. I had the courage to believe in Mississippi. I had the courage to understand that we could show the country that Mississippi matters.

Just remarkable that Scott Colom will be replacing Cindy Hyde-Smith, who famously posed in a Confederate hat at Jefferson Davis’s home and captioned the photo: “Mississippi history at its best!”

My Veterans Day tradition at the VA: pizza, good conversations, and a huge thank you to our veterans.
As an immigrant, I will never take this country and the people who protect it for granted.
To every veteran: we love you, we appreciate you, and we thank you for your service. 🇺🇸

Please pick a different Speaker, Dems. Please.
FFS.
I asked Hakeem Jeffries about attendance appearing decisive in the Pete Hegseth vote. (11 House Dems did not vote tonight.)
He told me and reporters: "I haven't had a conversation with anyone on the floor team about what may or may not have happened in terms of the Hegseth resolution, but this is not the end of it. It's just the beginning."

Scott Colom to MeidasTouch: Thank you for giving me the opportunity very early on, when nobody thought Mississippi would be on the radar, to tell my story, tell my message. So God bless you, my friend.
And since then, we went out there and we did the work. I've done over 60 town halls. I've been to the housing projects, I've been to the college campuses, I've been to the music festivals, and we just built a campaign from the grassroots level.
And the people of Mississippi got behind me, and they're ready for a new direction.

Throw back to last year when President Barack Obama surprised 79 veterans as they arrived in DC on an Honor Flight. He greeted each with a handshake and a Challenge Coin. Our heroes deserve honor and to be taken care of when they end their service. #DemsFightForVeteransCare

Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith has conceded the Mississippi Senate race to Democrat Scott Colom.
"While this is not the outcome we worked for or hoped for, I respect the decision of Mississippi voters. I want to congratulate Scott Colom and wish him well."

And yet, Trump promised everyone $5,000 checks from all the tariff money he was supposedly collecting.

.@hakeemjeffries can get the required votes for himself - in fact guarantee it - but can't deliver the votes necessary to impeach Pete Hegseth.
And Democrats are okay with that?
If you are, you will be giving up the single greatest opportunity Democrats have had for YEARS.

To all who have worn our nation’s uniform in wartime or in peace—thank you for your service and sacrifice. We are forever grateful for your contributions to freedom and democracy at home and around the world.

There it is:
Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee issues the statement:
“Congratulations to Senator-Elect Scott Colom on his historic win and on becoming the first Democrat to win a Mississippi Senate seat in over four decades. We will work hand in hand with Scott to fight for Mississippians’ health care, costs, and future in the 120th Congress and look forward to welcoming him to our caucus. Scott is a seventh-generation Mississippian, proud husband and father of two, and District Attorney who has dedicated his life to keeping communities safe. He has never stopped fighting for his neighbors, because Mississippi Matters – and he’ll continue to be a champion for Mississippi in Washington.”

🚨 BREAKING: A U.S. Army Tomb Guard was forced to reprimand Pete Hegseth and his group after members of the group were caught laughing and loudly talking at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on Veterans Day.
“All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times,” the guard shouted.
CNN obtained video of the incident.

If you’ve ever been to the spot at Arlington where Hegseth got reprimanded, you know it’s one of the most solemn, heaviest, emotional places in America. Most would never dream of being loud or laughing while we are there. But Hegseth, on Vet’s Day of all days, is a classless ass.

Today, we honor the veterans who have served our country.
It was one of the greatest honors of my life to serve as commander in chief, and our service members, including my son Beau, are always on my mind. Our country is a safer place because of them.
I’ve always said America is a place of possibilities. But those possibilities could not be realized without the sacrifice and dedication of our veterans and service members. Their choice of country over self is one we can never take for granted.
To our country’s veterans and their families, thank you for your service and sacrifice. May God protect our troops.

"Rooster"
From the album "Dirty" 1992
Rooster was written by #JerryCantrell about his father Jerry Cantrell Sr. and his harrowing experiences serving in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War. Rooster was Jerry Cantrell Sr.'s childhood nickname, given to him by his great-grandfather because of his cocky attitude and the way his hair stood up like a rooster's. Coincidencenty "Rooster was also a military slang in Vietnam for M60 machine gunners because the muzzle flashes resembled a rooster's tail. This is a perfect song for today! Thank you to all veterans who have served our great country and continue to serve. Freedom isn't free! 🙏🇺🇸
