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.

NEW from Marc: The RNC sued to keep late-arriving Mississippi mail ballots from being counted. Marc Elias spent two years defending them, all the way to the Supreme Court.
Today, those ballots helped Scott Colom win a U.S. Senate seat in Mississippi.

And Scott Colom did it by beating a senator who:
> went to a segregation academy, then sent her daughter to one
> has in-law relatives who murdered a Black civil rights activist in broad daylight and were let off for it
> put on Confederate gear at Jeff Davis’s home and called it “the best of Mississippi history”
> “joked” about lynchings and making it harder to vote

🇷🇺Moscow, Domodedovo Airport has become a deserted labyrinth.
Large sections of the terminals stand empty, with check-in counters, airline offices, restaurants, and cafés closed.
Once bustling with passengers, parts of the airport now resemble the Backrooms: endless, eerily silent corridors devoid of life.

Maria Flores Garcia should be home with her family today.
Instead, President Trump’s ICE agents detained Maria – a Marylander, high school valedictorian, and University of Maryland student – as she accompanied her mother to an immigration check-in last week.
ICE isn’t rounding up “the worst of the worst.” This is just pure cruelty for cruelty’s sake.
If the President is actually serious about wanting to work with the incoming Democratic majority on an immigration deal, he must end ICE’s attacks on our communities and our people like Maria.

🇺🇦 In 1994, Ukraine gave up the world's third-largest nuclear arsenal
This archival footage shows Bill Clinton, Boris Yeltsin and Leonid Kravchuk signing a trilateral statement on nuclear disarmament.
Promises to respect Ukraine's independence, sovereignty and existing borders were made back then. These assurances were later formalised in the Budapest Memorandum.

Colom: "For months and months, I've been telling everybody everywhere I go, that we're going to win this election. But every time I said it, I pointed out that people were going to give me too much credit for it. Because it's not something that I did, y'all. It's something that we did."

For anyone who hasn't heard about this yet: ICE showed up at the front door of Dr. Ann Lawani in Lodi, California, while she was still in her pajamas, shackled her at the wrists, waist, and ankles, and shipped her all the way to a detention center in Louisiana.
She’s a frontline nurse who worked through the worst of COVID, directs the master's nursing program at the University of San Francisco (overseeing 230+ nursing students), and takes care of her 83-year-old dad.
When her family and lawyer tried to find out where she was taken, ICE’s online locator came back with "0 results." It turns out ICE quietly changed its policy the day before her arrest to stop listing thousands of detainees in the public database, so her family had no idea where she was for days while she was bounced from Stockton to Bakersfield to El Paso to Louisiana.
DHS put out a statement claiming she had a 2013 removal order, but they conveniently left out that on the *exact same day* in 2013, an immigration judge granted her Withholding of Removal blocking her deportation to Nigeria because she faced persecution there.
She has zero criminal record, has checked in with ICE for 13 years, and has a valid federal work permit through 2029. Because they legally can't send her to Nigeria, Rep. Josh Harder says ICE has been trying to quietly deport her to an undisclosed third country behind her lawyer's back.
