I was proud to support my friend and mentor, Speaker @PhilipGunnMS, for his portrait unveiling today. Philip leads from the front and certainly left our state better than he found it after his twelve years as Speaker. He worked with honor and integrity in the Mississippi House of Representatives, and I gained many lessons in leadership from him. The portrait of Speaker Gunn, displayed in the entrance of the House Chamber, will serve as a lasting tribute to his great contributions to Mississippi.

Hello Senator Thune, Let's expose what you're really doing with "reconciliation." You announced it yesterday, eleven months after the House passed the SAVE America Act. You're not trying to pass this bill. You're trying to kill it in a way you can blame on process. Here's how we know: Reconciliation requires the Senate parliamentarian to rule that provisions are "budgetary." Citizenship verification is not budgetary. Photo ID mandates are not budgetary. The parliamentarian will gut the bill. Then you'll shrug and say "we tried." We see through you. Meanwhile, you WON'T use the tools that actually work: Rule XIX limits each senator to two speeches per legislative day. Keep the Senate in continuous session, file cloture daily, and the filibuster exhausts in ~12-20 days. You dismissed it as "complicated." Because if you tried and succeeded, you'd have to actually pass the bill. Harry Reid nuked the filibuster in 2013 when he wanted results. Mitch McConnell changed Senate rules THREE times and canceled the August recess. Chuck Schumer used reconciliation within months on a 50-50 Senate. You have 53 seats. You've changed nothing, canceled nothing, and waited eleven months. Now let's talk donors: • Goldman Sachs: $150K to you - top H-1B user • Google: $75K - lobbies against E-Verify • Meta: $72.5K - Zuckerberg's FWD[.]us pushes mass immigration • Wells Fargo: $90K - banks undocumented immigrants Same corporations sponsor Punchbowl News, where you sit for "Fly Out Days" which nobody watches except Congress staffers and K Street lobbyists who pays premium bucks for legislative intelligence. Their reporter then telegraphs to the audience the SAVE Act "will ultimately fail." Corporate money flows to you AND to the outlet that frames your inaction as inevitable. We see the loop. You called grassroots anger a "paid influencer ecosystem." YOU are the paid influencer. You take the wrong side of a 80% issue because you are indistinguishable from a K Street mouthpiece, and an ineffective one to boot who won't bend the rules to get anything passed. What we want: 1. Force a real talking filibuster. 2. Stop hiding behind process. 3. Pass the SAVE America Act. YOU will become the reason that we will have our butts kicked in midterms. Not Candace Owens, not Nick Fuentes, not anyone else. You and you alone, and all because you want to make the 200 or so viewers of Punchbowl Fly Out Days happy. You're living in a K Street information bubble, addicted to the comforts and praises of lobbyists masquerading as journalists. You mistake the steak and martini dinners you get invited to as your own constituents. You are not "moderate." The SAVE America Act has 98% support among Republicans. Name one other thing that has 98% support. You are an extreme minority who prides himself on being a calm leader, when in reality you are well in the running for the most ineffective Majority leader of all time. Prove me wrong. Do the bare modicum of effort. Not symbolic. Actual effort. Cancel the recess. Get SAVE America Act passed.

@dogwoodblooms That is incredible. She will change lives. God Bless 🙏

Proud big sister moment: My beautiful, big-hearted girl was raised in the system after our daddy died. I tried to fight that system. Aunts, uncles, and cousins did too. It was a losing battle. Once the system has its hooks in, it doesn’t want to let go. Kodecker’s guardian ad litem made horrible decisions—decisions that ended up making Kodecker’s life harder. I won small victories… visitation and a voice. But those victories made a huge difference. And today, that sweet girl who still struggles because of decisions made by the state was sworn in as a guardian ad litem—to give voices to other young’uns in impossible positions. I’ve never been so proud. ❤️

Alright, North Carolina! Take your corners. Eighteen wheeler or tractor trailer? 🤔

I knew in my gut that something wasn’t right about Benny Johnson. Always go with your gut!

@JebraFaushay I thought that movie got canned. Wasn't Julia supposed to play Madge in a biopic?

Madonna and actress Julia Garner are in a gondola in Venice together. This is so exciting, I have chills!

@BowesChay So many years ago, I can't recall. Ten maybe?

When was the last time you physically bought a newspaper?

@realcurryscurry @YolettMcCuin I don't blame you 💔

@YolettMcCuin Heads up… my heart just shattered into so many pieces that one might have flown all the way from Tuscaloosa to Oxford

HUGE HIRE for USF! WOW! A legend! One of the best in the game!!! Best to you Kristy! 🫶🏽🚀🚀

@BowTiedTrance I have spent more hours listening to Scott Adams than anyone else, so I hope that juices the average.

Who are those influencers/podcasters for you, the ones you're comfortable becoming "the average of?"

#Mississippi Leaders: It can’t be stated any more plainly. @tatereeves @DelbertHosemann @JasonWhiteMS @shadwhite @MichaelWatsonMS @AndyGipsonforMS

@shadwhite The state REWARDS this shit. Let's start there.

A few months ago, new federal data came out showing about 55% of all births in Mississippi were to single mothers. What a tragedy. I've known single mothers, some in my own family, who've worked hard to raise their kids, but the data show kids without an engaged father are more likely to go to prison, more likely to be on welfare, less likely to graduate, and on and on. This number--55%--is one of the biggest long-run challenges we face as a state, and we must address it. We could start by telling kids the truth: that if you have a baby before you have a job and are married, you are incredibly likely to end up in poverty. Indiana, in fact, passed a law this month requiring public schools to teach all kids this. That's just common-sense policy. Time for Mississippi to require the same.

@kvbutler55 @JoeMastrosimone @Acyn 🔥 No lies told

@JoeMastrosimone @Acyn It's embarrassing that professors are dumber than a puppy...

Japanese PM: Tomorrow is the birthday of your son, Mr. Barron Trump, and I know he has grown up so much into a very tall, good looking gentleman. As I see you, Donald, it is very clear where he got it. There’s no doubt about it.

@Acyn She's smart
