The power is with the people, and the people of Mississippi are with Scott.
@scott_colom makes history today as the first Black senator elected in Mississippi since Reconstruction. I saw firsthand when campaigning with him in his hometown that he is a brilliant leader and dedicated public servant who will work tirelessly to serve every Mississippian with pride.
Congratulations, Scott.

“Should this AI bubble pop, we should not be entertaining a bailout of these corporations while healthcare is being denied to Americans and SNAP is being denied to Americans.”

It’s Veterans Day. And House Republicans just passed a bill to cut Veterans benefits by $57 billion, according to the VA’s own estimates.
This is how they’re thanking our heroes for their service.
Orlando Sánchez retweeted
House Republicans resorted to a blatant abuse of established procedure—bypassing a fair vote—to sneak the biggest cut to veterans’ benefits in American history. 1/

Me alegra profundamente volver al #Perú. Este regreso tiene para mí un significado muy especial. Durante años compartí la vida de su gente, escuché sus preocupaciones, aprendí de su fe. Muchos me abrieron las puertas de sus casas y me hicieron sentir uno de los suyos. Hoy comprendo cuánto de esta tierra permanece conmigo y cuánto de mi propia historia les pertenece también a ustedes. Por eso puedo decirles, con profunda gratitud, que regreso también a mi patria. #ViajeApostólico

I am very pleased to be back in #Peru. This return visit holds a very special meaning for me. For years, I shared in the lives of its people, listened to their concerns, and learned from their faith. Many opened the doors of their homes to me and made me feel like one of their own. Today I understand how much of this land remains with me and how much of my own story also belongs to you. That is why I can tell you, with deep gratitude, that I am also returning to my homeland. #ApostolicJourney

Our veterans answered the call without hesitation - the least Congress can do is answer theirs.
This Veterans Day, we must move past words and pass legislation to guarantee robust benefits for all who have served.

Stop idolizing politicians. They’re our employees, and when they don’t do their jobs, we need to fucking fire them.

I am Mississippi-raised, and tonight, I am overjoyed to congratulate Senator-elect @scott_colom! From the first time we broke bread together in August 2024, I understood his claim on history. He knows that justice and security, that affordability and prosperity are possible for Mississippi. And the people agreed.
This is what happens when the overlooked organize, the discounted turn out, and the silent refuse to be ignored. Now let's get to work.

Dear @WhiteHouse: I attended a closed-door House Foreign Affairs hearing on AI export controls last year in which Jensen Huang testified.
Would have been helpful if you told Congress that Mr. Huang was having an affair with a Chinese spy who ran a company that needed AI chips.

The scary part isn't the corruption anymore. It's how normal it has become. Evidence gets exposed. People react online. Nothing happens

Given the historical amnesia that Americans––including recent naturalized immigrants––continue to suffer from, Scott Colom's win in Mississippi is among the most consequential wins of the midterm elections.
Right up there with Texas turning blue.
You cannot tell the history of America without the South and without Mississippi. How I wish Nina Simone was alive to witness this moment.
