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.

While Republicans nationally aim to prevent children from coming into custody, Andrea Sanders tells @NicoleAkinsBoyd Mississippi has an alarming, ever-growing intake of children entering custody and some MS courts are conducting suspicionless drug tests en masse on all parents.
"Bringing children into custody does not make every child safer, and in fact it should be a last resort for the state with other measures taken if possible."

—Andrea Sanders to @NicoleAkinsBoyd @bricewigginsMS @JeremyEnglandMS @SenRodHickman @SenDavidBlount @zakiyasummers
@NicoleAkinsBoyd @bricewigginsMS @JeremyEnglandMS @SenRodHickman @SenDavidBlount @zakiyasummers Sanders warns of a backward-thinking political push in Harrison County to drive up the number of families CPS breaks apart in Mississippi.

🧵 I'm happy to help @JeremyEnglandMS learn!

1. Harris' housing plan includes tax cuts and deregulation to boost supply, whereas Trump's global tariffs would and mass deportations would limit supply. If England wants to help, he should sponsor zoning reform legislation.
2. I don't know of a plan to give taxpayers more money for groceries unless @JeremyEnglandMS means the child tax credit. To that end, Harris' proposal is quite modest compared to JD Vance's.
For his part, Trump's plan to lower grocery prices is to raise taxes on imported food, which would increase grocery prices instead.

Huh. @RepEzell thanked @SecretaryPete for the historic support Pete's giving the MS Gulf Coast—but then Ezell told WLOX that Pete neglects the MS Gulf Coast because he only cares about Biden supporters.

Ezell said that's why Pete joined @BennieGThompson in Jackson and the Delta.

I always thought it seemed like @RepEzell gets along with @SecretaryPete quite well.
@RepEzell @SecretaryPete If @RepEzell wants more one-on-one time with @SecretaryPete, why doesn't he just ask?

🧵 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.

🧵 Tate promised to cut vehicle purchases when he ran for lt. gov.

But upon getting approval to sign contracts worth $15,505,234,725.00 for Tate's donors, Tate's administration got permission to buy the state another airplane for $8,000,000.00 via non-competitive procurement.
Tate's administration told the PPRB they believe no one would be willing to sell an airplane to Mississippi if the state uses competitive bidding.

So, the administration asked the PPRB for permission to make the purchase without using a reverse auction. 2/ Image
Would it have made sense to first try a reverse auction and find out if anyone offers, before granting an exemption from competitive purchasing?

And is $8,000,000.00 high for a used airplane when we already have one? 3/

"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.
