@CBSNews Can’t be sure, but almost certain this lost ship belonged to @RepShandaYates’s great great great great great great great grandmother. @KentMcCarty will agree.

@RussLatino A cameraman would do at this point. 🤷🏻♀️🥴

$24M to JPS - largest amount ever - is worth fighting for. INSPIRE is a student-centered formula that sends our dollars where they are needed the most. A vote for INSPIRE is a vote for our public schools.

If I recall, only one chamber is on record saying they’re okay leaving this session with a “level funded” education budget. Hint: the @MSHouseOfRep is not that chamber. Our “way” is $3.001b in education funding ~record amounts~ by and through a formula that sends the money to the students & districts that need it the most. #INSPIRE

Members of the @MSHouseOfRep joined the @canopychildren team to tour their campuses. It’s simply amazing the work these individuals do to help our youth and to positively change lives. A big thank you to @grgibert for being a long time board member of Canopy. @RepShandaYates

I had the best time helping these #GirlScouts from St. Andrew’s Troop 4417 earn their “democracy badge” this afternoon. The girls had lots of ideas for new laws - including mandatory price ceilings on @taylorswift13 tickets, increasing teacher pay, and eliminating homework.

@DanGutmanBooks They both go out with a [big] bang?? 🤷🏻♀️🤣

Thank you! Four more years of common sense solutions for District 64. It’s an honor to continue serving you. #ResultsMatter

@StateRepBain 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Your favorite day at the well. Let me know if you need me to rattle off the list again for you.

Bully Bloc supports @RepShandaYates in her bid for re-election in District 64, representing Jackson, Ridgeland, and Madison. Shanda is a tough advocate for her district in the legislature!

The article has been revised to correctly state the law in MS.

This @AP article incorrectly states that you cannot vote in tomorrow’s runoff if you didn’t vote in the original primary. This is false. If you did not vote at all in the primary, you may vote in the runoff tomorrow. @MichaelWatsonMS apnews.com/article/electi…

Proud of this work by our teachers and students!

Is the "Mississippi Miracle" real?

His homework was to document something he would deem important as a historian. He’s writing about the #msleg changing the flag. He has smiled SO much seeing my name and the names of so many of his “friends” from the Capitol in that book! #proudmommoment

@andrewketchings We’ve got a song and a fruit and a flower. Why not a mascot too? 🤷🏻♀️🤣

@andrewketchings Love this! @andrewketchings - I will send him a response if you get his address to me!
Landshark as the state mascot made me giggle. I love kids. 🤣

Proud to have authored this legislation to make sure that customers continue to receive water bills based on the amount of water they use. #msleg #commonsenselegislation
Governor Tate Reeves@tatereeves
Water bills will continue to be based off of personal consumption. It just makes common sense. I just signed the law to guarantee it.
English
@Pannell64 @MSFreePress @tatereeves @MSGOP I actually do the read the bills and made an amendment to have issues in the bills fixed. The amendment passed but wasn’t incorporated into the bill text correctly. This wasn’t realized until after the bill was in the Senate.
English
@MSFreePress Does she @RepShandaYates not read the bills? @tatereeves @MSGOP are following #dictatordesantis how about trying to fix the real problems of MS instead of creating imaginary ones. Yall are running all the good teachers and doctors out of here. #gerrymandering needs fixing

“I’m totally OK keeping porn away from kids, but the bill we passed does way more than that, and that is not what the majority of us who voted for that original bill thought we were doing,” Rep. Shanda Yates told the Mississippi Free Press.

@ManSwac @JeremyEnglandMS @jallen1985 Here’s the vote count on the bill I authored. It was a very close vote. I just glanced at the list and I don’t think I saw a single Dem in the list that voted for the bill (if I missed someone I stand corrected).
English
@JeremyEnglandMS @jallen1985 @RepShandaYates Apparently it wasn't important enough for other Republicans to leave their committee meetings to vote on or this was their way of getting around voting no so they be on record voting against it. I'm for the bill because once we get past the voter suppression, we can change things

🧵 This chart of Jackson's most recent mayoral elections shows that the 2014 special election @TonyYarber won was more competitive than partisan races in 2017 and 2021.
Similarly, the special 2021 election @TyreeSheriff won was less polarized than most local elections. 1/
Jonathan Allen@jallen1985
And @LeeYanceyMS made the same point about racial polarization that @ZakiyaSummers made. #MSleg can help reduce racial polarization. E.g. the local initiative process I want them to pass could allow initiatives to switch to nonpartisan local elections, which are less polarized.
