"The graveyard is the richest place on earth, because it is here that you will find all the hopes and dreams that were never fulfilled, the books that were never written, the songs that were never sung, the inventions that were never shared, the cures that were never discovered.” - Les Brown … we have to stop hoarding our knowledge and share it with others
When I tell y’all y’all don’t understand Mississippi politics, what I mean is Cindy Hyde-Smith was still running in local elections as a “Democrat” until 2010. The Southern strategy was delayed in local elections around the state for a reason. Research your candidates because there’s more like her, especially in that one part that people love to romanticize.
That depends. Is Mississippi blue or red? Because I know this man, Mr. Jack, who has a BBQ stand by his house. Him and Ms. Ruby have ribs, pulled pork sandwiches, burnt ends. And they have Jack Dogs and banana pudding.
I don’t know who needs to hear this but Lane Kiffin has already lost more SEC conference games in his first season at LSU than Brian Kelly did his entire first season. $91 million well spent!
👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 Thank you! I’ve heard “column” and “colon” and it irritates me to no end.
While we Mississippians are helping y’all pronounce things. @scott_colom’s last name is pronounced CA-LOMÉ. Think “cologne” if it had an “m” rather than an “n” in it. Please stop with “column” stuff. Thank you for your attention to this matter. 😊
Read the whole thread 🧵 but it’s that last post that’s just 🤌🏻
🧵 Senator Grassley called out Senator Hyde-Smith today for throwing small and mid-sized farmers under the bus in OBBBA and for then going back on her word to help him support small and mid-sized farmers.

Which stage of grief is the Senator on?
1)Denial
2)Anger
3)Bargaining
4)Depression
5)Acceptance
This is based on the @AP numbers from yesterday at 5:02pm. This shows what I've been hearing and saying. CHS lost ~20k voters from the CD-Republicans. @scott_colom met the voters where they were. In line at a Trump rally. Explained what he wanted for ALL Mississippians and people realized they had never heard the same from CHS. Senator of the People!
If @MSGOP is holding this up because people voted in the Senate race, but not the CD races, then they are in for a rough 2027.
Hey @nbcsnl since @mikeyfuntime isn't on X anymore, can you let him know we need to see him break down the election results in this character on @SNLUpdate
Mississippi legislators need to address this posthaste.
AP explainer on why they say it's still too early to call Mississippi's U.S. Senate race. It's largely due to Mississippi's arcane election system: mississippifreepress.org/why…
For those that don’t know, Cindy Hyde-Smith is a cattle farmer! What was she thinking saying pick another protein? That’s your industry.
Reminder: 8.5 million Americans turned 18 between Nov 2024 and Nov 2026. The Democrats and horseshoe right-wingers did a better job of getting out the vote with young people. If the Republicans want any shot at 2028, they need to be scouring their roll for a 33-45ish VP candidate now who knows how to operate in a social media centric world.
I’m seeing a lot of people on here talking about the disparity between the number of Democrat votes and Republican votes. I need you to all remember this: 8.5 million young Americans turned 18 and became eligible to vote since 2024. They get their political news and views from where? TikTok. Who is actually on TikTok pushing back against the narrative?

ANY MS legislator not voting for early voting in MS in 2027 should be voted OUT!!
Dear Senator @cindyhydesmith, since no one else is telling you this, let me.
Put on your big girl panties, come out and concede this election to Senator-Elect @scott_colom. He needs to be able to participate in the New Senate Orientation and office selection that starts next week. The MS GOP needs to reassess their positions and prepare for 2027. This is a distraction.
If you are wondering why you lost:
1. You were an unpopular candidate during an extremely unpopular presidency. Senator Wicker showed that he was willing to push back against Trump, but I can’t recall a single time you ever did that.
2. Did you even campaign?
3. He outworked you up and down the state. Seriously, his signs were up and down 45, from the Alabama state line to 78.
4. Again, were you aware you were up for reelection? Because I’ve traveled the state extensively since July and I’ve seen maybe five signs for you.
5. You really tried let em eat cake in one of the poorest states. You didn’t even attempt to be relatable. The irony, of course, is that your family is in cattle farming. Such an unforced error.
6. Gas and grocery prices are up but wage growth hasn’t matched those increases.
7. Because at least 23 Americans have been lost in a war that no one wanted.
If you care about the State of Mississippi and this nation, it’s time to face reality. Concede. You’re gonna be fine.

This is textbook racial coalition politics: divide Americans into permanent identity blocs, cast one group as the common enemy, and treat demographic change as the path to power. It is the opposite of the American ideal that rights and citizenship belong to individuals, not racial groups.
It was wrong when Black people were treated as the enemy for breathing. It was wrong when Latinos were reduced to cheap workers that was going to steal manual labor jobs. It was wrong when Asians were cast as the group coming to take your high dollar jobs. Scare tactics disguised as best interest.
Yes, I know he tried to backtrack later and say he meant Republicans, not white people, but that doesn’t pass the smell test.🤔
