Scott Colom is almost certainly going to be Mississippi’s junior United States Senator. His lead has steadily grown as affidavits have been counted. This isn’t Magnolia Tribune making a call. Just Russ being honest. Democrats had a stellar night Tuesday and Scott’s team ran an objectively good (very well financed) campaign. In my limited interactions with Scott, he seems smart, well-humored and reasonable. While I have my doubts about anything but impeachment hearings and investigations getting done in the next two years, my hope is that he’ll represent Mississippi’s interests and people well. I’ve seen a lot of people run down Senator Hyde-Smith. I don’t think that’s fair. Every conversation I’ve ever had with the Senator has been engaging. She clearly loves Mississippi, has worked hard to represent us and in my estimation has done well by the state. Whether people realize it or not, she did a lot to maneuver against, and sometimes stop, bad agriculture policy that hurt Mississippi farmers. She also was a steady vote on big policies that matter to Mississippi workers. Your taxes would be substantially higher, your standard deduction and child care credits substantially lower without those votes. It’s impossible to judge the outcome in Mississippi in a vacuum. States like South Carolina, Texas, Kansas, and Iowa flipping — in more emphatic fashion than Mississippi — is proof positive that something larger than any one senator or her challenger was afoot. I’ve spoken to that elsewhere. But the days of just saying “I’m the Republican and they’re the Democrat” as the final word in an election in these states is over.

9) $NVDA CEO Huang has walked alongside Megaspeed at every step, and seems to have a close relationship with Megaspeed's Alice Huang. They partied together in June 2024 - same month as the Apex/Alibaba pledge, then dined together in May 2025 - just after U.S. trade restrictions.

By far the biggest case of lost primary sour grapes is Ralph Norman in South Carolina, but it has nothing to do with intra dem psychosis so no one outside the state notices or cares

One week ago today, Haley Stevens went to church with Mike Rogers.

SERIOUS QUESTION: If you were Karen Read and you received this report on 06-13-22 would you reach out to me? EXACTLY. She didn’t know me, and based on this statement, she probably assumed I was no better than any of the rest of them.

Rep. French Hill (R-AR) says “I want to hear the debate on it” when asked whether Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth should be impeached, as GOP Rep. Thomas Massie pushes for his removal. Asked by @margbrennan whether he is satisfied with how the war with Iran has been handled, Hill said, "No," but added that President Trump “has to take responsibility” for the war's strategy. “If you don't think he's done a good job conducting his job, that doesn't mean he's committed an impeachable offense,” Hill says, adding, “If he’s not conducting his mission in the right way, then the president ought to make a change there.”

In physics and politics, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

watching this 20/20 jonbenet ep, screaming "IT'S TRACE DNA MIXED FROM BURKE AND PATSY AND THEY KNOW IT WILL NEVER MATCH A LIVING HUMAN" but waste our time letting these ppl push their propaganda

1. It’s in federal court which is a pain in the ass to get to in the morning. 2. Federal trials are not televised. If Matthew Farwell walked by me in the street i probably wouldn’t recognize him. The doctor who testified for the defense to refute Dr Smock sounded from Grants tweets like he’s more unlikable than Jud Welcher, but no one got to see it. 3. In this case the government (federal only) is doing its job, so there’s no reason for anyone to show up there in defense of the defendant. 4. The lead investigators didn’t send text messages about the defendants leaky balloon knot. 5. The witnesses for the government don’t appear to be covering up a murder and aren’t blatantly lying. 6. The judge appears to be fair and has her courtroom under control. 7. The real circus in the Karen Read trial was inside the courtroom, not outside. The media and the people outside were not the circus, they were just responding to it.
