"In 2020 the Democratic Party fully embraced MMT. Ms. Kelton served as a top economic adviser to Sen. Bernie Sanders, runner-up for the party’s nomination, and later co-authored a report for the Biden campaign that served as a blueprint for its spending blowout. In 2021 MMT gave the administration and Democratic lawmakers an academic imprimatur for the avalanche of spending, four times as large as Mr. Obama’s stimulus 12 years earlier."
Now all we have is the best economy in 35 years.

A Mississippi town has taken down a Confederate monument that stood since 1910. The figure was wrapped in tarps the past four years after the Grenada City Council voted to move the monument in 2020.

If you're talking about Mississippi crimes, Senator, public data from your own state doesn't support what you claim.
Instead, crime seems to be dropping here, even as more agencies become NIBRS-compliant and report additional cases each year.

Crime rates continue to surge, and we’ve got to ensure that the protectors of our schools & communities have the resources they need. This $10.8M in DOJ Community Oriented Policing grants will boost local law enforcement operations & help to keep MS safe.

The NYPD spent $150 Million *extra* last year to catch people who weren't able to afford to pay the subway fare. They owed just $104,000.
$150 million could buy free fares (at going rate) for 95,000 poor New Yorkers per year.
Instead four people shot, including an officer.
