Philip Gunn's law firm received a PPP loan for $680,730.

(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.

THREAD: This victimhood narrative from Republican personalities keeps popping up, but the GOP is responsible for its own reputation—and Mississippi Republicans are fully capable to earn a pro-voter reputation if that is the reputation they want. 1/
For example, if Republicans want to become more popular among college-educated voters, a smart way to do it would be to make voting easier for college students.

As fmr. Sen. @SallyDoty explained in 2016, voting is hard for MS college voters. 2/
Doty's bill to allow college registrars to witness their own students' voting paperwork—which the MS College Republicans supported—died in the House in 2016, but there's nothing stopping the #MSleg from taking it up again now. 3/

THREAD: Below is a list of constitutional amendments that have been proposed in the #MSleg over the years to amend Mississippi's ballot initiative process in conformity with our four Congressional seats. 1/
HCR 43 (2002), introduced by former Rep./current Sen. @JoeyFillingane, was the first such bill. billstatus.ls.state.ms.us/2002/pdf/histo… 2/
Former Rep. John Mayo introduced HCR 58 (2003). billstatus.ls.state.ms.us/2003/pdf/histo… 3/

QUICKTHREAD: Three bills in the #MSleg would have preserved Mississippi's initiative process, and all three died. 1/
My favorite is @LeeYanceyMS's HC 3,* which would have changed the signature-collection framework to automatically adjust to the number of Congressional districts Mississippi has at any time.

*billstatus.ls.state.ms.us/2021/pdf/histo… 2/
Speaker @PhilipGunnMS referred Yancey's bill to the MS House constitution committee, where it died.

I infer that @FredShanks, who chairs the committee, killed Yancey's bill by not bringing it to a vote before the committee. 3/

Senator McDaniel made many, repeated appearances with the group supporting Initiative 74 (new flag vote).

McDaniel made so many appearances, in fact, that one might have thought that group was intended more to build a campaign apparatus for McDaniel than to pass an initiative...
So, anywho...it seems odd that McDaniel's had nothing to say about the court's decision yesterday chucking all pending initiatives.

All he's said is a vague reference to backroom deals and...is that a dog-whistle about violently overthrowing the government?
@ashtonpittman I hope y'all will be reaching out to McDaniel about his views on restoring the initiative process, considering his many...

THREAD: The #MSleg should go further than enacting medical marijuana and putting a constitutional amendment to the voters to fix our 5-district ballot initiative framework.

It should also put all of the issues for which initiatives were filed or announced on the 2022 ballot. 1/
☑️ Recreational marijuana
☑️ Medicaid expansion
☑️ Early voting

The #MSleg should put questions on the 2022 ballot to determine whether MS voters support or oppose legalizing recreational marijuana, expanding Medicaid, and allowing early voting. 2/
These three ballot measures not have to be constitutional amendments—they can simply be non-binding referendums, the same way the #MSleg asked voters whether we approved the flag design adopted by the 2020 flag commission. 3/

THREAD: The MS Supreme Court today invalidated Initiative 65 by stripping voters of our right to ballot initiatives, holding by a 6-3 vote that voters can only pursue ballot initiatives when MS has five or more Congressional districts.

Opinion: courts.ms.gov/Images%5COpini… 1/
The vote does not follow partisan/ideological lines, as MS's two liberal justices—Justice King voted to invalidate Initiative 65, whereas Justice Kitchens voted to uphold it.

Two of MS's seven conservative justices voted to uphold Initiative 65. 2/
Mississippi voters overwhelmingly adopted Initiative 65 in November to make medical marijuana legal in Mississippi. 3/
