In another win for the American people, Scott Colom has made history as the first Black U.S. senator representing Mississippi since Reconstruction.
For too long, Southern Democrats have been overlooked, left out, and even looked down upon — but we are on the rise.

Scott Colom will defeat Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith in a major upset to become the first Democrat that voters in deep-red Mississippi have elected to the chamber in more than four decades, CNN projects. cnn.it/4iEnxUo

People keep telling me to put down the juice and soda and drink some water. That’s fine but it better be sparkling with a hint of lime.

Hindsight is 20/20: NC Republicans could have easily drawn a 9R-5D or even a 10R-4D map that would have withstood a blue tsunami (by drawing one more safe Dem seat in the Triad). Instead, by trying for a 11R-3D map, they're on track to end up in a 11D-3R hole.

Scott Colom entering the Mississippi Senate race:
ALT MJ: ….and I took that personally
NEW: Sen. Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.) says she won’t support the nomination of Scott Colom to be a district judge in Mississippi. This could prevent his nomination from moving forward with Democrats maintaining need for home-state support on district picks. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law…

Young Black women in rural Mississippi are trying like hell to make sure no ballot gets thrown out unfairly in the Scott Colom race. They are DMing friends and chasing down people who need to verify their IDs. My story (gift link) on the phenomenon: wapo.st/4AbqTpg

Unsolicited advice to all the Democrats who won tough seats this week across the country: have the best possible constituent service operation you can.
I won and flipped my first state house district in 2016 by 323 votes the same night that Trump won my seat by 12 points.
My team was relentless in solving constituent cases because I believe that we can connect with residents regardless of party in this way. We still work this hard at casework.
The proof it works? This comment from a constituent this morning on my Facebook page:

Dr. Annie Andrews became a national rock star on Tuesday when she became the first Democrat to win South Carolina since 1998. Today she shares her thoughts in an exclusive The Post and Courier column. postandcourier.com/opinion/c…

Per the ESPN broadcast, Ace Buckner is the first Tiger since PJ Hall to open the season with back-to-back 20-point performances.
Hall achieved that feat for Clemson in the 2023-24 season, when the team reached the Elite Eight.

Leftists be like: "Yes, Roy Cooper is a successful, popular two-term swing state governor who won a Trump state by 20 points, broke the Republican gerrymander, carried 5 Dems to the House majority, and helped Democrats win the heavily gerrymandered State House and come 200 votes from a trifecta, but have you considered that he doesn't have the most important quality in a leader, getting a standing ovation at a Pod Save America event?"
