Just met a woman, a lawful permanent resident from Missouri, who was detained in moldy conditions inside a camp for 6 months. Her husband is a Navy veteran. She’s been in the country for 50 years. What are we even doing. 🤦♂️

WOW. This is incredible. The Acting US Attorney for the Western District of Washington says it no longer has the manpower to respond to every ICE habeas corpus case, so going forward, it will decline to defend “many” cases and let judges rule without any government opposition.
DOJ cries uncle, abandons clients in habeas cases:

At some point, we have to talk about @CookPolitical and other “prognosticators” who had me and other southern candidates labeled as solid R for much of the campaign cycle. They made it much more difficult to fundraise and are part of the reason the South has been neglected for so long.
They’re only a reflection of the past and mysteriously avoid any accountability when they’re wrong. One of their “analysts” was extremely condescending to me (not Jessica) when I tried to make my pitch for why they were wrong about my rating like he knew something about MS politics when he’s never been to the Sip. This attitude hurt Jaime Davis & others so much.
...I've been working on this beat for two years and he just... says it out loud? That's it? That's how this goes?
Trump endorses an amnesty deal with Democrats, saying immigration maximalists are on the “pretty far right” and suggesting that illegals who have been in the US for 10-15 years should have an opportunity to stay.

I'm a local reporter in Texas. If you’re trying to understand the paradigm shift here or the history unfolding in Mississippi, you need to be following these local news orgs. (1/5)

Young Black women in rural Mississippi are trying like hell to make sure no ballot gets thrown out unfairly in the Scott Colom race. They are DMing friends and chasing down people who need to verify their IDs. My story (gift link) on the phenomenon: wapo.st/4AbqTpg
To anyone who has a problem with @scott_colom preferring Tolstoy to Dostoevsky, take it up with Vladimir Nabokov!

To have any hope of holding her seat, Cindy Hyde-Smith needed GOP-friendly counties to give her big margins in affidavit ballots.
Instead, Scott Colom just beat her among Oktibbeha County's affidavit ballots by 80%-19%.
It's a county Trump won in 2024.

To give people an idea of what these affidavit counts look like in Colom-Hyde Smith, I just got off the phone with the Circuit Clerk in Scott County. Total vote?
3830 Colom, 3933 Hyde-Smith.
Total affidavits? 105. Colom took EIGHTY FIVE OF THEM. In a county he *lost*.
Hugely proud to work with this amazing team.

Let me be clear: I will never take a penny from AIPAC or Super PACs that don’t put Mississippi and America first.
This Senate seat belongs to the people of Mississippi. That’s who I’ll answer to.

There's a good chance that we won't know the winner of the Mississippi senate race until Tuesday and here's why:
- There are up to 15k affidavit (provisional) ballots that need to be counted due to voters improperly deemed inactive, broken voting machines and other reasons. 🧵

I heard of version this on all the news networks tonight: “Who’d of thought we’d be talking about Mississippi tonight?”
Screw tonight. When does the national media ever give Mississippi coverage (outside of Brett Favre)? You missed this coming bec you make no effort there.
MISSISSIPPI! Our race is too close to call. We are going to make sure every single vote has been counted, and I am confident we will ultimately flip this seat.
Voters know what’s at stake and we saw historic voter turnout in this election across Mississippi, including thousands voting for the first time.
There is a lot of work to be done and we are going to make sure every voice is heard.
FYI, they won't be calling Mississippi tonight. Hinds County has paused counting for the evening and there's still the matter of affidavit ballots to count.
