The office of lt. governor is arguably most powerful position in Mississippi, bc it includes both exec & legislative powers; lt gov is prez of the Senate & can push or kill legislation.

But tonight's debate been @DelbertHosemann & @Jay4Mississippi is just 30 mins long. #MSelex
Tonight's debate starts at 6:30 p.m. and will be on TV stations throughout the state including WJTV (Jackson) WHLT (Hattiesburg) WFNA (Mobile) WMDN (Meridian) WTVA (Tupelo/Columbus) WXXV (Gulfport)— also MS Public Radio & SuperTalk. #MSelex
For more on GOP nominee Delbert Hosemann and Dem nominee Jay Hughes and their positions on the issues, read this story:

On Aug. 3, Donald Trump literally said he wanted to "get rid of judges"—not over sexual assault allegations—but who follow due process with immigration cases, thus slowing his policies.

Sen. @CindyHydeSmith did not express concerns about "judicial independence" then. #MSSen
On immigration, Trump says he wants to 'get rid of judges' google.com/amp/www.msnbc.…
Last year, Cindy Hyde-Smith gave her first speech on the Senate floor and called it her "duty as the first woman to represent Mississippi in Congress to speak in strong support of Judge Brett Kavanaugh" and against the women who accused him of rape.

I'll admit: A part of me still wants to say, "But why? He clearly presents as a man."

Know what though? There's no good reason it should bother me. Or you.

As Jesus said: "Whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two."

In this case, just say "them," not "him."
If it bothers me, that's a me problem—not a Sam Smith problem.

So what if you or I think it's weird? I think "normal" ppl are weird all the time. I think I'm weird most of it.

What does it cost me to honor someone else's supposed "weirdness" with a word? What does it cost you?
You know what I think is really weird? Our obsession with trying to make sure everyone lives in accordance with their genitalia.

Why do we care so much if someone's expression of gender is different? It's not like someone is taking your pronouns away from you.

Y'all Politics needs a gold medal for for misleading headlines.

The Mississippi AG dropped a report yesterday w bipartisan review from frmr MS justices saying Lt Gov Tate Reeves secretly pushed for $2 million in public $ to build a road outside his private community.

YP:
And note the way the passive "is dropped" really helps mislead the reader into thinking the AGO just gave up on the investigation, rather than that they dropped/released the report.
@DonnerKay, you could add this to your teaching materials

1) New day #QDrop... #Qanon post No. 2745... @realDonaldTrump @WhiteHouse @POTUS
#Q links to #FoxNews & says "Buckle up!". It's looking good for a D5 info drop on the others that met secretly to plot against #POTUS with the use of a 25th Amendment scam.

2) Stepping back 4 an interesting footnote re: #QAnon post No. 2744...
When the verse numbers are totaled, they equal 55:17. If you've been watching #QDrops or any time you know the significance of 5 x5 & the number 17😉
3) #QAnon post No. 2746...
#LisaPage was removed from the #SC on 15th July 2017. July 21, 2017, The #Mooch was appointed #WHCommunicationsDirector. He began work on 25th July 2017 & was fired on the 31st. It's clear [5:5] that #Scaramucchi was a hired (& disposable) gun. Most all

1⃣ Let's take a look at how the Senate works. I've spoken to a decent segment of certain political persuasions to warrant a fresh look. At first, specifically be concerning voting procedures. #Senate ⬇️

#SchumerShutdown #SchoolHouseRock #BuildTheWall @DNC #WeThePeople
2⃣ Aside from Revenue(tax) bills, bills can originate either in the House, the Senate or both simultaneously. When the bill has been polished it goes to a vote. There are two primary types of vote & one that is considered a countermeasure. #Senate ⬇️

#SchumerShutdown @DNC
3⃣ Out of Roll Call, Voice Vote & Division Vote, Voice is most used. The bill is brought to a vote & Senators verbally call off 'Yea' or 'Nay'. The presiding officer mentally tallies the verbal vote as best they can & announces the results. #Senate ⬇️

#Mississippi: Ugly Old Trick Targets #MikeEspy Voters gregpalast.com/mississippi-mi… #MississippiRunoff #MississippiSenateRace
Mike Espy, US Senate candidate, reveals the return of an outlawed #VoteSuppression tactic aimed at elderly voters. In the vote-stealing biz it’s called "push polling" in which a fake pollster cons a voter out of their vote. gregpalast.com/mississippi-mi…
Push-polling was infamously successful in elections in years past. For example, in 1996, supporters of Republican Sam Brownback, posing as pollsters, used it against Democrat Jill Docking. Funds for the “push polls” were traced back to Koch Industries. gregpalast.com/mississippi-mi…
