Philip Gunn's law firm received a PPP loan for $680,730.
Chris McDaniel's law firm received $415,000 worth of PPP loans.

(Less than Gunn's loan because McDaniel pulls himself up by his bootstraps.)
Robert Foster's farm received $176,940 worth of PPP loans.
Brice Wiggins' PPP loan was just $28,807.

Comparing with other lawmakers' loans, either @bricewigginsMS didn't try to be corrupt, or he's very bad at it.
J. Walter Michel (my state senator) got a PPP loan for $79,160.
Tate's brother and sister-in-law got a PPP loan for $60,200.
Those two could write a book about getting money out of the government.

Apropos of nothing, Senator DeBar blocked me when I wrote this thread:
Steven Palazzo's ex-wife (who Palazzo allegedly funneled campaign money to unethically) got a PPP loan for $108,900.
Whether Steven or Lisa is the real owner of Palazzo & Co. could be a whole thread of its own.

🧵 Dep. Tommy Mason beat James Hughey so badly in 2017 that he broke several of Hughey's ribs and ruptured Hughey's spleen.

Judge Percy grants Mason's motion for qualified immunity because Hughey does not remember enough specific details of the attack due to ammonia poisoning. Image
Mason's first of several motions for QI argues that Hughey's complaint should be thrown for failure to plead specific facts about the attack beyond Hughey's ability to remember them. Mason does not state his verion of events.

Hughey responded by claiming he pleaded sufficient facts to overcome QI and alternatively that, the court should allow Hughey to conduct discovery on Mason's QI claim.

"My savior was betrayed by one of his chosen, and I believe we've experienced the same," a weeping Wendell Ladner told Madison County's board today, speaking against rental property.

"Judas was honorable enough to recognize the magnitude of his betrayal and committed suicide." https://t.co/FaBWhHlotz
This group of speakers got started with: "I want to remind each of you why most of us left the Jackson area." 🙄

"This development by D.R. Horton, allegedly, will be the very avenue that begins the destruction of Madison," Regina Edwards concluded.
Lee West opposes new homes not out of self-interest but to protect future home buyers from D.R. Horton, USA's largest homebuilder.

Lee subscribes to Rukia Lumumba's economics. He opposes out-of-state builders just as she opposes out-of-city contractors.

Brian Flowers intends to contest his loss to Bennie Thompson and is looking for a lawyer.

Michael Watson is the go-to lawyer for delegitimizing Mississippi elections and for shredding black votes, but Watson is not currently available to sign up clients for election contests.
Flowers and his team are working to identify the Hinds County officials who were bribed.

Flowers appears to have ruled out the possibility that no one was bribed.
I agree that the election commissioner indicted for misspending funds should have stepped down, but the law doesn't require her to.

I also think Rankin County's tax assessor (indicted for sexual battery) and Magee's mayor (charged with hitting his wife) should step down.

🧵 Declaring that democracy either is or is not on the ballot is too simplistic.

We are at risk of democratic backsliding, and many of today's elections will either increase or decrease our risk. I'll thread some thoughts. 1/
MSians overwhelmingly adopted Initiative 65, yet three of MS's four Congressional reps still oppose:

➡️ Decriminalizing marijuana under federal law
➡️ Allowing banks to serve cannabis businesses operating lawfully under state law
➡️ Allowing even medical marijuana *research* 2/
Moreover, the votes Palazzo, Kelly, and Guest cast against their voters on marijuana policy also run against their own purported view of government—they each claim to value deregulation, a limited federal role, states' rights, and individual liberty. 3/

🧵 Tate cracked me up at "I don't recall EXACTLY what occurred then" because Tate's memory is not bad enough that he completely forgot his 2011 campaign. 😂

Anyway, Tate says the thing he doesn't recall is former Mayor Harvey Johnson's fault. But the good news is that... 1/4
...Tate says Jackson simply isn't going to need to take out more bond debt since enough other funds and better forms of debt will be available for Jackson's water/sewer system to be repaired.

Great! Let's hold him to it. 2/4
BTW here are the remarks at issue from Tate's 2011 run.

Tate can't "recall" this except that it's Johnson's fault. If Jackson won't need any bad debt, I'll agree to settle and "recall" everything was fmr. Mayor Melton's fault even though he was dead. 3/4

WATSON: Does this new law I supported prohibit me from continuing to offer my office's #PromoteTheVote program, which I also support, as is?

FITCH: Could be, or maybe not.
Gov. @TateReeves is proud that he signed into law HB1365, which according to Lynn Fitch either did or didn't ban @MississippiSOS from continuing to offer Mississippi's #PromoteTheVote program as is.
For his part, then-Sec./now-Lt. Gov. @DelbertHosemann touted expanding the #PromoteTheVote program as an accomplishment he is passionate about in his 2019 responses to Ballotpedia's candidate questionnaire.
