Secretary McMahon visited Ole Miss to perform rigorous helmet inspections.

I’m thrilled Roger has finally reappeared, I was feeling just about ready to call the sheriff for a welfare check to see if he’d died or been kidnapped or something.

Holmes County has USA’s highest homicide mortality and is one of 10 Mississippi counties with a homicide mortality rate higher than DC’s. In 2022, citizens begged Judge Lee to make Lexington ask Tate Reeves for help, but the city objected—Judge Lee denied the request, so no one came.

What county in Mississippi does this look like to you?

Holmes County has the nation’s highest homicide rate. People in Lexington actually *wanted* the state to come in, but the city didn’t want that, so no one came. They got a new mayor last month.

Trump will have to release the Epstein files to distract from the tariff damage. intelligence.endeavorb2b.com/wp-content/u...

Cindy Hyde-Smith would like to give the coast a big “you’re welcome” for the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which she voted against.

One of Mississippi’s senators is in charge of writing USDOT’s budget, which has to pass next month, so MS should be having a conversation about our most critical transportation needs. Our critical needs are rural public transportation and interstates in regions that need them in order to develop.

I think Amtrak on the coast is great, but describing it as being about economic equity is wildly off-base—Mississippi has major transportation barriers currently trapping people in poverty, and Amtrak on the coast is not a solution to the critically serious transportation barriers we do indeed have.

This is a hearing Roger Wicker held in June: www.youtube.com/live/gunwbqG...

@ashtonpittman.bsky.social @heatherharrison.bsky.social Also, I keep seeing posts about the age verification and parental consent parts of the law but not about the mandatory censorship provision, where sites have to have a “strategy.” That’s the part I think is most interesting.

@ashtonpittman.bsky.social @heatherharrison.bsky.social Even if SCOTUS granted the stay, Fitch has already been free for months now to enforce this against sites that weren’t part of the preliminary injunction to begin with, like Bluesky and Substack. What’s she done to enforce this against them?

Trump is illegally imposing the biggest tax increase in American history, and he’s nationalizing formerly private companies along the way as well as flirting with export taxes. MSGOP chair Mike Hurst says Democrats want too much gov’t control of the economy.

Heterosexuals, y’all gotta start putting in the work.

Lynn Fitch asks the Trump administration to crack down on mifepristone. www.scribd.com/document/901...

@ashtonpittman.bsky.social Senator Robinson was campaigning to lengthen criminal sentences, but AFAIK no media outlets has yet looked into why that specific issue that she was actively campaigning on did not help her attract voters. Is “tough on crime” not popular? 🤔

Tariffs are unpopular. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trump-is-u...

School choice would enable dozens, possibly millions, of poor families to commute two times a day from south Jackson to Brandon to drop their kids off in the morning and pick them in the afternoon all as part of a huge conspiracy to destroy Rankin County’s “school culture.”

Eugenics is still eugenics when it comes from liberals and Democrats, FYI.

A teacher pay raise giving every Mississippi teacher a $5k raise would be regressive because it would disproportionately benefit wealthier school districts. A pay raise giving every teacher a 10% raise would be even more regressive.

Because Democrats are in the minority in Mississippi, Democratic power in Mississippi is at its greatest when either Jason White or Delbert Hosemann needs votes Democrats can provide for something one of them wants to do. Jason White needs votes Democrats can provide.

This is not the first time protectionist Republicans have imposed massive new taxes on American families and businesses who buy things from overseas. They’ve done this before, here is what happened when they did:

I’m willing to consider a do-over if we include Mississippi for a change.

I am zero for two.

DeSoto County Republicans had one candidate whose top priority is infrastructure and another whose top priority is owning the libs. The voters decided by a two-to-one margin that owning the libs is more important than infrastructure.

Many national figures claim America’s birth rate is too low, and Mississippians are hard at work to get it up.

I’d like to see Stevenson beat McLendon and Hudson beat Jackson.

Who does everyone want to win and lose these primaries today?

It would be fun to have a Walker Wildmon- @ashtonpittman.bsky.social debate sometime.

As long as people in his district talk about OBBBA more than they talk about tariffs, Ezell’s happy.

I see a lot of folks rage-posting in response, but none of the rage posts say anything about why Luke isn’t qualified. I watched his confirmation hearing, and he’s not who I would pick, but I don’t know a reason why he’s not qualified for the job.

Seems like a whole lot of debt for just one quarter.

Please shed a tear.

Sounds like Burnsville elected a female mayor and four men in the police department suddenly decided they didn’t want to work for the city anymore. www.wlbt.com/2025/07/22/c...

Senator Whaley says the Mississippi Senate will continue working on chemtrails next year.

A Union County voter tells Rep. Creekmore that Mississippi should not expand Medicaid because Memphis residents might move to DeSoto County.

Yesterday Michael Guest and @benniethompson.bsky.social were chair and ranking member of a homeland security hearing. Ds moved to subpoena Bondi and Patel to testify about Epstein. Rs moved to table the motion. Guest voted to table; Thompson voted not to table. The motion to table passed.

MPB hopes you will make a donation.

Bennie Thompson criticizes Michael Guest for attacking Christian organizations that both of their districts rely on in times of need:

Whoever in the Trump administration decided churches should get to endorse political candidates isn’t from the South.

I am too busy remaining outraged that Kamala bought $500 worth of cookware in France to form an opinion about Lutnick buying a $1200 tequila bottle from Mexico.

Meg Basham announced the shocking revelation that Chip and Joanna Gaines make employment decisions based on meritocracy rather than as a strategy to advance cancel culture. How will Chip and Joanna ever be able to show their faces in public in Texas again?

Jon Stevenson is challenging incumbent Sen. Mike McLendon in the Republican primary for state senate in DeSoto County. Stevenson is running on infrastructure, but McLendon says Stevenson called Donald Trump a narcissist one time five years ago.

What one thing could Cindy Hyde-Smith realistically do within the next 12 months that you would most appreciate her for?
