@jsolomonReports This picture says a lot.

People only listen to podcasts when they are doing something they don't want to do but can't stare at a screen. So that usually means a commute, exercise, chores, cleaning, or possibly shopping. So they'll be around for a long time because of this

@TheChrisHinkle @AndyGipsonforMS @shadwhite @DelbertHosemann @JWalterMichel @RepMichaelGuest @cindyhydesmith @SenatorWicker Has @MichaelWatsonMS been silent on this too?

@AndyGipsonforMS .@AndyGipsonforMS thanks for joining @shadwhite in saying what the majority of our Mississippi elected representatives (@DelbertHosemann , @JWalterMichel , @RepMichaelGuest , @cindyhydesmith , @SenatorWicker , et al) will not. 🫡🇺🇸

IT’S TIME FOR BENNIE THOMPSON TO GO. Mississippi Conservatives agree with me, it is time for Bennie Thompson to go! Folks have lots of questions, like why isn’t Mississippi redrawing the lines … now?? Louisiana, Alabama, Tennessee and others are acting now. Why isn’t Mississippi? Well, Mississippi absolutely needs to act. The problem is, unlike other states, our Legislature is not in Session at the present time. As a result - under our State Constitution, only the Governor can give the call to action. Here are some facts you should know about redistricting and where we stand after the Callais decision. Status of Congressional District Lines. January 25, 2022 - That is when the Mississippi Legislature most recently redrew the district lines for our four Congressional seats. Two general elections have occurred since then (in 2022 and 2024), plus a primary election held this past March, 2026 with congressional elections set for November 3rd this year. Unlike other states, in Mississippi has already held our primaries and as of today no federal court has ruled the existing congressional districts should be withdrawn. I believe they should be redrawn on the basis of Callais. Legally and constitutionally, redistricting is required after every 10-year census, most recently the 2020 census. This is to guarantee “one man, one vote.” Redistricting is also required after a federal court finds that the districts violate the Voting Rights Act. In the recent Callais decision by the US Supreme Court, a Louisiana district was thrown out by a court and required to be redrawn because it was drawn “predominantly” on the basis of race. You can study our current Congressional map down to the precinct level here: gis.mississippi.edu/portal/apps/we… The Callais decision held it is ILLEGAL to draw a district predominantly on the basis of race. That is the right decision and is the law of the land! Mississippi certainly needs to redraw our districts on the basis of Callais without regard to race. Status of Mississippi Supreme Court District Lines. Recently, Mississippi had a federal court order requiring the redrawing of only our elected Mississippi Supreme Court district lines. The court did not require congressional lines to be redrawn. That case was vacated this week because of the Callais decision, meaning that currently Mississippi does NOT have to redraw our state Supreme Court lines. Meanwhile, as noted above our Legislature is no longer in Session and can only meet upon the Special Session call of the Governor. Gov. Reeves had previously issued a call to redraw the state Supreme Court district lines. Because of the recent federal court ruling vacating that requirement, this call is technically no longer required, but it is fully in the Governor’s hands at the present time. It’s gonna be interesting to watch what happens now. Other Options on the Table. The Governor has the option to maintain the call, amend the call or withdraw the call. If he maintains the call, the Legislature will be showing up to redraw court lines next week. Then we will have to wait and see what if anything gets added. The Governor also has the power to amend the call to add the redrawing of Congressional lines to a Special Session. If he does, this raises the issue whether and how new primary elections would have to be held in the new districts - before the November 3rd election. The people just voted in March for congressional primaries. Will the people have the right to vote again? The Governor could also include redrawing the court-ordered legislative district lines that were redrawn in 2025 for a special election or for 2027. All this is to say, unlike other states - in Mississippi the entire redistricting issue is squarely within the hands of Governor Reeves as of today. One way or another, Bennie Thompson has got to go!!

LSU fans have assumed their final form

@ScottMGreer Someone explain why Scott liked Kiffin

Me reading this from Kiffin

Pretty embarrassing that (leftist?) @ChaseParham thought @VanityFair valued actual journalism over clicks/subscriptions! @NealMcCready

True story: We are good friends with a capital J journalist who recently left the industry & said the moment he knew it was time to get out is when the glowing profile he wrote about Lane Kiffin a couple years ago turned out to be total bullshit. Lane is a master at creating his own narrative.

@erickson_68 @FreeBirdWorld69 Why were @RichardCrossSTM and @JTMitchellRadio saying this would risk 2R-2D?

Improved and properly formatted 4R-0D Mississippi map. Every district is at least Trump +22.3. I reduced the number of county splits, cleaned up the Jackson area, and made the map tidier overall. A rock-solid, no-risk map; every district backed Reeves (R) in the R+3 2023 gubernatorial election.

@FreeBirdWorld69 And @JasonWhiteMS @tatereeves needs to ask Trump to call out anyone preventing redistricting

Prediction: Delbert works behind the scenes to kill this move to eliminate Benny.

The brutal truth is that our entire system relies on abortion You can’t keep women in the work force without abortion You can’t maintain the casual sex culture and disrupt family formation without abortion Women with children find themselves dependent on men, single women find themselves dependent on the state Women are more likely to take abuse from employers, less likely to demand raises, less likely to oppose their replacement People have been conditioned to believe they couldn’t function in society without abortion, and at some level we’ve ensured that’s correct We’re far from the first civilization to base itself on child sacrifice but don’t lie to yourself, that’s exactly what we’ve done You can look back on the Mayans in horror because they did their sacrifices on an altar but they could never hope to match our level of slaughter Until the paradigm shifts there will be no popular support for it’s restriction

Bookmark this. My friend Chris has is a very good analyst. But that does not mean we should take the pressure off our elected officials to create 4 red districts and remove race gerrymandering from our state. I support @shadwhite in this effort. Where are the rest? We will hold you accountable. See the Indiana legislature primaries.

Perfectly happy to eat my hat if I’m wrong: Mississippi won’t redistrict. The state is governed by the fear of being called racist and in a state that is 40% black that fear acts as sovereign. They couldn’t even bring themselves to actually ban DEI, allowing universities to rebrand the offices and change nothing. Every other red state is fighting. Mississippi will sit still.

“We promise we’ll look into redistricting next year”

Latest on Mississippi’s redistricting: Bennie Thompson called any attempt to change his district, which was gerrymandered around race, “equivalent to a second Civil War.” There has been no formal announcement yet about whether the legislature will redraw those lines when they return in a matter of days. No Mississippi statewide official or member of Congress has explicitly called for redrawing those lines except for me. Yet. Last night’s wins in Indiana for pro-Trump, pro-redistricting candidates over anti-redistricting candidates should be a wake-up call.

Mississippi redistricting update: New reporting over the weekend suggests President Trump’s team is increasing the pressure on Mississippi to redraw the district that was drawn to protect Bennie Thompson. As of right now I’m the only statewide official or member of Congress to explicitly call for redrawing the districts, but I bet that will change soon. The legislature returns to town in two weeks.

The kicker: none of this will change her political views. She’ll still promote the same policies and vote by the same way.

Missing a cowbell attached to the belt loop

Adam Ganucheau: With the Callais decision, Southern states like Mississippi that spent decades fighting to discourage Black political power now have what they always wanted: a wide open door. And things could turn bleak quickly. ow.ly/cTHU50YT29y
