A Vet Day and Mississippi’s first Black Senator story.
My Uncle Frances was a 1st Lt. who was shot multiple times fighting in France. Never fully recovered. Came back to Mississippi and became a civil rights lawyer.
He later taught at Antioch Law School where he had @scott_colom mom and dad as students. They met at Antioch.
I was talking to Scott’s dad the other day and he was saying how much my Uncle Francis would have loved this moment.
The Colom family story is America at its best. Scott’s grandmother was a civil rights worker in Ripley, Ms. his dad co-founded the Innocence Project with John Grisham. His mom is the first Black female Chancery court judge in Ms.
And now Scott is a US Senator.

The Jackson airport is named after Medgar Evers. And if you've flown there, you know there's a small exhibit dedicated to honoring Evers's life. You also know that this picture from his funeral hangs on the wall.

Others have made this point. I’m just echoing them. Last Tuesday was the biggest polling error of the 21st century. I don’t think I’ve seen a single story abt “reckonings” for the polling industry. Is polling broken? What did we miss? For general press it’s only an issue if GOP strength is missed.

Seriously not sure Democrats could have scripted a better Republican response to last week’s historic midterm defeat than Stephen Miller becoming White House chief of staff and Jim Jordan taking over House Republican leadership.

At this point, a federal ban on partisan gerrymandering is the only thing that can protect Republicans from themselves.

I wish they both were here to see this night. Just so damn proud to have been raised a Texas Democrat.

Good thing he isn’t making a joke about the decor of a moderately priced chain restaurant or we’d have people saying he’s out of touch with regular people

lol “Black voters, who offered tepid support to Dr. El-Sayed in September, now back him, 93-4. Mr. Rogers did not receive the support of any respondent in the city of Detroit (among 43 people).”
