God welcomed my beautiful mother into His arms on Sunday. She truly was one of the most caring, loving people to have walked this Earth. Thankful I had the privilege of calling her my mother. ❤️

Angie Nixon confirms reporting that Chuck Schumer gave her ONLY $5000 from his Leadership PAC. She also reveals the DSCC only gave money to her campaign the DAY BEFORE the election
“It was a failed opportunity, a missed opportunity…we need to have some tough conversations.”
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
OP's claims about the timeline and donations are misleading.
$5,000 is the maximum amount of money Schumer could legally give in direct PAC contributions.

The money was given in October.

I am so proud to finally get to call @KeishaBottoms Governor-Elect! The day has finally come where Georgia elected their first Black governor, the first Black female governor in America.
Y’all did that!

Here is Rep. Virginia Foxx yelling “shut up” at journalists for asking about Republicans’ attacks on democracy.
She just lost her seat in Congress.
I’m watching the results in Mississippi closely. @cindyhydesmith called security on me at the Capitol for asking about Nolan Wells, who died under mysterious circumstances this summer in her state. I hope @scott_colom will actually talk to reporters when he comes to Washington.
It’s hard to watch this video. A reporter asked Cindy Hyde-Smith a serious question about Nolan Wells' tragic passing, and she chose to run away and call security. At the very least, she could have acknowledged Nolan’s family and offered her condolences for their tremendous loss.
For everyone who knew Nolan and loved him, this is deeply disappointing. No matter your politics, there should always be some basic humanity when talking about someone who lost his life — especially from an elected official. Mississippi deserves better.

The voters have spoken, and I want to extend my congratulations to James Talarico on his election to the U.S. Senate. I look forward to meeting him and offering my assistance with his transition as he prepares to serve Texans in the U.S. Senate.
Every interaction I’ve had with @AndrewFeinberg has only been positive. He’s a great journalist and does not deserve attacks from the president. Wish I were in the oval today to help defend your integrity!
Trump lost control and ordered me to be ‘quiet’ in the Oval Office. Then it got personal ift.tt/61csZHK

BREAKING- President Donald Trump just told me at the White House he is still open to a potential federal investigation into the death of Nolan Wells. The FBI wants to close the door, telling our team there is no evidence of foul play, but Trump is leaving the door open.

- @dnlgrimes asked Trump if he planned to push the FBI to launch an independent investigation into the death of Nolan Wells
BREAKING- President Trump just told me at the White House he may ask the FBI to launch an independent investigation into Nolan Wells' death. Trump said, "Well, we're looking at that. Yes, we are."

After a grand jury declined to indict anyone in Nolan Wells’ death, Don Lemon Show reporter @dnlgrimes pressed Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith for answers... only to be met with silence before Capitol Police stepped in.

The Mississippi State Medical Examiner's autopsy report found no water in his lungs or airways, despite the grand jury report suggesting Nolan Wells' death was an accidental drowning. The cause and manner of death remain undetermined, with documented evidence of head injuries noted in the report.

I’m the reporter @scott_colom. I simply thought the senator would share her condolences with Nolan’s family or any thoughts to her constituents about next steps in the investigation.

Let me clarify. You're not "standing up" for anything. Your time in Congress has been defined by flamboyant performance art, because the only thing you're fighting for is attention.
You placed 5th in your own state's gubernatorial primary. People are tired of your nonsense.
