It looks like outcry by folks like Warnock and Buttigieg over lackluster investment in the South has been heard: The Senate Majority PAC announced today a new $1 million ad buy in Mississippi in support of Scott Colom.
Pressure works.
Sen. Raphael Warnock says Democrats are doing ‘barely enough’ in the South. He wants more.

As Republicans demonize @AngieNixon, and JD Vance tells her "you don't belong in America," they run the risk of having it backfire. Nixon can be a compelling figure. Here she is getting emotional when I asked her to tell voters something personal about herself. @CBSMiami

I explain why the #boycott between the #media and Trump’s #WhiteHouse was long overdue.
This is a good first step in the name of journalistic unity. But, where was all this energy when Black #journalists — especially Black women — were being disrespected?
