Chills watching Senator-elect (!!!) Scott Colom’s acceptance speech on faith right now. “In Mississippi, it’s local people that had faith that Mississippi could make progress.” Mississippians did this!!!

Been waiting a minute to post this BANGER video for one of my favorite candidates this cycle:
Senator-elect SCOTT COLOM!!!
We are reaching levels of mass hysteria over data centers I couldn’t have dreamed of. She helps block $5 billion in development on a lot that’s been abandoned for over 20 years, in a county already struggling with the closure of Six Flags, the (impending) departure of the Commanders, and federal job losses. And her father compares her to Medgar Evers, who was assassinated for his work as a civil rights leader. I mean, come on!
Linking the article as well. Really heartening to see CM Wanika Fisher (who I’ve met and think very highly of) trying to explain the economic challenges facing the county. Sooner or later, folks are going to have to have a serious conversation about revenue and where it’s going to come from. If you don’t want a data center, then what’s YOUR solution?

Imagine politicians preaching about an affordability crisis and then asking people for a reoccurring $50 donation. PLEASE. Go to a fundraiser in the Hamptons/Martha’s Vineyard like everyone else!

Trying to play by the rules of a world we want to live in won't help us get there.
Yemisi is 100% correct. Democrats have to stop limiting themselves for some false sense of honor. Losing an election doesn't get us anywhere closer fixing Citizens United.
So @Alyssafarah asked me for my unpopular opinion, and mine is that I’m actually ok with money in politics. Unless you’re prepared to cough up your own dollars, I really don’t see the utility in completely rejecting it. Republicans spend big. Democrats need to start matching that energy.

The real truth nuke is everyone is okay with money in politics when their politicians are the ones getting the money.
Its only when the other guys are getting it does it become an issue.

And @DemGovs invested nearly $20 million in Keisha Lance Bottoms’ race, with a crucial boost in the final weeks. I, along with everyone in Georgia, am grateful for that investment.

.@yemisi tells @sarahmccammon why newly elected Democrats from deep-blue districts are about to face the realities of governing in Washington.
“I felt like they were being handed a ghost gavel in a sense. And now with this majority, reality is really going to hit them.”
One of my favorite Scott Colom ads. Reminded me of begging my parents to grab food after church. You'd get to the restaurant down the street and find half the congregation there, still fellowshipping. Such a sweet tradition that's getting harder to afford as the cost of taking your family out keeps climbing. Also, give the whole family Emmys!!
Faith and family were central to @scott_colom's incredible campaign. We loved working with @RyanSayles_ @Gerard_Hen @MichaelJBrewer to introduce Scott to voters. This ad came together like so much else in the campaign, with the whole community pitching in to make it happen.

Sen. Raphael Warnock: "I believe that the road to a sustainable majority in the Senate for Democrats, it runs right through the South."

Law and order Dems coming back!!! And I don’t care how that makes people on here feel!
RT @UnmoderatedNews: Dr. Annie Andrews pulled off a historic win in South Carolina by making health care a central issue while Republicans…
The flat-out denial that Jeffries will be Speaker is what baffles me. You can disagree with the outcome all you want, but pretending there’s a realistic path to someone else getting the gavel makes me wonder if people understand how the House works. Even AOC is on board. Where exactly are the votes to stop him?
