He didn’t think Colom had a chance. Now, he’s trying to gaslight and rewrite history. State Dems asked him to suspend his campaign as recently as the end of October. He ran as a Dem in 2024. He knows he very likely did not draw votes from Cindy.
Mississippi Independent Senate candidate Ty Pinkins explains why he stayed in the race: "I'm happy we drew votes from Cindy Hyde-Smith ... now there's a fight, and he's in the lead and I hope [Scott Colom] wins"

what a mess
BREAKING: The NFL has launched an investigation into the #Eagles handling of Jalen Hurts after he was allowed to play and fly with a blood clot.
The NFLPA is pushing for severe punishment, with Philadelphia potentially facing the loss of multiple draft picks.Community noteThis post is from a known parody/troll account fabricating NFL news. Credible outlets report only on Hurts' medical diagnosis with no NFL investigation, NFLPA push for punishment or draft pick penalties.

Our democracy asks Black women like Crystal Mason to believe in a system that doesn't always deliver for them. Democracy owes Black women an institution worthy of their faith, one that feels safe, fair — and where a mistake isn’t catastrophic.
