So glad to see the national party stalwarts leaning in for @scolom.bsky.social
Pete Buttigieg to campaign for Scott Colom in Mississippi Form President Barack Obama appears in an ad for Colom, and several other national Democrats are helping him campaign in Mississippi. https://mississippitoday.org/2026/10/13/pete-buttigieg-to-campaign-for-scott-colom-in-mississippi/

I’m grateful to President @barackobama.bsky.social for his support. I hear it in every county I visit: costs keep going up, families are worried about their healthcare and their hospitals, and folks feel like Washington stopped listening a long time ago. We're going to change that on November 3rd.

Y'all, I'm excited to announce we are officially launching Canvass with Colom this Friday, October 2nd, on the Gulf Coast — and my friend Senator @corybooker.com is headed down to kick things off with us!
I’ve gotta say this is just a terrible look for Scott Colom. He handled himself poorly here. Voting GOP in 2024 is a bad look. He’s gonna really need to get this cleaned up.
Scott Colom began this interview by calling what was said about his voting record “lies.” Moments later, he acknowledged that he voted Republican in Mississippi’s 2024 primary. A candidate’s voting record is part of the résumé voters are entitled to examine. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ee2v...
This is bullshit. SPLC is a bastion of freedom and a bulwark against hate. When you get sued by Trump you know you are over the target. I hope the SPLC staff I know mops the floor with DOJ.
The Southern Poverty Law Center, which is best known for its tracking of hate groups, said that the Justice Department has launched a criminal investigation into the nonprofit regarding their use of informants.
You can feel it on the ground. Colom’s message is starting to penetrate the Black electorate and white Mississippians are starting to turn away from Trump. A WINNING COMBO!
A new poll of Mississippi's U.S. Senate race from Impact Research has Democrat Scott Colom trailing incumbent Republican U.S. Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith by just 3 points. With leaners added, she's ahead 47%-44%. Trump won Mississippi by 61%-38% in 2024. www.splcactionfund.org/wp-content/u...

Trump says Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is dead, calling it the ‘greatest chance’ for Iranians to take back the country in a Truth Social post Saturday afternoon. The president also said “heavy and pinpoint bombing” was to continue “uninterrupted” through the week or longer. buff.ly/oudKuJr
If the rules are that people can carry guns around then they should be able to carry guns around - protest or not.
NEW: In response to Alex Pretti's killing, Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves said that it was "really hard to watch" protesters carrying upside-down American flags. He called protesters "lawless hordes" and said they should go "back to Mogadishu." He also blamed Pretti for (legally) carrying a gun.
Hell yeah. Doug Jones will be a great test for Dems in Mississippi and the dynamics of our potential 2027 race. BRING. IT. ON! www.rawstory.com/tommy-tuberv...
I just don’t understand the media response. Surely there are named victims of these attacks. Victims that have families. Victims that have stories that can be told. There’s been none of that during this saga. Why?
Another illegal US maritime strike—again in the Pacific. Against a vessel allegedly operated by an unspecified "designated terrorist organization." Four reported fatalities—dubbed w/o ID or evidence "narco-terrorists." There's a word for premeditated killings outside of armed conflict.
I have eaten at Tarasque twice since the incident to support her. Everyone needs to know that eating there supports her freedom.
Former University of Mississippi employee Lauren Stokes is alleging that Chancellor Glenn Boyce violated her First Amendment rights when he fired her after she shared a social media post criticizing Charlie Kirk. The post called him a “yt supremacist and reimagined Klan” member. buff.ly/PikB3JN
This case will show one way or the other what Millsaps is about. They were leaders on civil rights. Thr rights of a professor to speak truth far outweighs donors or administration concerns. Millsaps, Mississippi is watching!👀
Former Millsaps College tenured professor James Bowley lost his job after he sent an email to students saying that he needed time to “mourn and process this racist fascist country" following the 2024 election. Now, he's suing the college. buff.ly/keie8WT

This is what I want to see. A true believer. Articulate. He’ll drag lots of money in. He’s a fighter. He’s a real democrat. youtu.be/RyyOA_1xW3A
This is the narrative we need. Portraying DT as a racist and having the media blame DT for the shutdown. They have to be on our side for this one.
As the US government barrels toward a shutdown, President Donald Trump shared a racist AI‑generated video on social media, depicting House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries wearing a sombrero and a mustache and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer speaking in a fake voice. https://cnn.it/4pMWWat
We win. Trump loses. Kimmel is back. variety.com/2025/tv/news...

I’m not a giant Kimmel fan tbh but I will be watching tomorrow night! We should celebrate our wins against the Trump regime anytime we can get them. I’m just glad they didn’t haul JK away in handcuffs. LONG LIVE FREE SPEECH!
Jimmy Kimmel is a great example of how pushback works and also how completely craven Shari Redstone was canceling Colbert
I don’t know much about her but I’m open to listen. I don’t know how being against trans rights and Palestinian statehood will play with the national party and donors. But she comes from a strong family and her success would be a massive political symbol. What do we think?
Priscilla Williams-Till, a cousin of 14-year-old lynching victim Emmett Till, is running for U.S. Senate in Mississippi as a Democrat against incumbent Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith. She says that Hyde-Smith's infamous remark about being "on the front row" at a public hanging helped inspire her to run.
She’s already come out with “Biden, this - transgender that - soft on crime - blah blah blah”. So predictable. It won’t play in Mississippi. We must beat her by any means necessary. Media will play a HUGE role. Scott Colom for the ‘sip!
NEW: When Biden nominated Scott Colom to a federal court, U.S. Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith used the Senate's "blue slip" tradition to block his nomination. Now, instead of a federal judgeship, Colom is aiming to unseat her in the Senate. @heatherharrison.bsky.social reports on his campaign launch:
Anything that the media can be doing to sew division amongst Republicans in Mississippi right now is a worthwhile effort. Well done @marshallramsey.bsky.social !

Whether its daycare, K12 or Colleges, federal money should not be used in private schools in any form. Thanks @marshallramsey.bsky.social!

Thanks to @mississippitoday.org for helping to organize the resistance so effectively. We need more tightly coordinated media efforts with law firms and environmental groups like these directly pointed at big corporations against development. mississippitoday.org/2025/08/01/h...
Medicaid spending is a moral and righteous issue. Glad to see clergy involved.
“It is due to Medicaid and Medicare that (my brother gets to) live in a group home as independently as he can and to work and have training and have his healthcare needs met. That has been a blessing for our family," Mary Lee Reed said.
This is so awesome. I don't know why it took so long for this to be made public, but am grateful to the WSJ (of all people) for making it happen! www.wsj.com/politics/tru...

It's just amazing how stupid MAGA is to vote against their own interests.
“Republicans just did something wildly unpopular, but they’re counting on Americans being too checked out to notice—and thus, to blame them for it. The passage of last week’s Big, Beautiful Bill was “backloaded” with “a lot of the Medicaid and …. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/d...
It is so critical for the media to keep telling these stories and shining light on this sort of mistreatment of immigrants and in this case artists.
People in Alligator Auschwitz describe the inhumane conditions in the concentration camp—insufficient water, scarce and unsanitary food, lack of medicine, denial of religious rights, etc. “They're not respecting our human rights. We're human beings—we're not dogs. We're like rats in an experiment."
