I am overwhelmed by the outpouring of support for my campaign as we fight to make sure every lawful ballot is counted. We saw historic voter turnout in this election across Mississippi and showed the country that Mississippi Matters — in large part due to the support of my day one team who has been with me all along. My campaign, alongside the DSCC and Elias Law Group, Lisa Ross, and our great team of local attorneys, are leading the effort to ensure every eligible voter is heard and I am confident that when votes are counted, we will flip this seat. Stay tuned for more updates from our team!

NEW: The DOJ will send a record-breaking 1,000 election monitors to observe midterm voting nationwide after a federal judge allowed it to deploy federal law enforcement to serve as poll monitors. But the department must still provide more details about the program. demdock.com/481BcjF

Federal law prohibits the military and federal law enforcement from interfering with elections. OAG has contacted the Administration about the presence of National Guard troops and federal agents near voting locations in recent days. National Guard leadership has advised that members of Joint Task Force-DC, which includes both the National Guard and federal law enforcement, have been directed not to patrol at or near any voting locations in the District. Please report potential violations to our office at 202-727-3400 or OAGVoting@dc.gov and to the DC Board of Elections at 202-727-2194 or ogc@dcboe.org. Every DC resident has the right to vote free of intimidation or interference.

A federal judge denied the NAACP's bid to block the Justice Department from sending election monitors to polling places on Election Day — but imposed strict conditions on who those monitors can be. Judge Reggie Walton ordered the DOJ to ensure its poll monitors are not sworn law enforcement officials, cannot carry firearms, cannot wear uniforms or display federal insignia, and have no power to make arrests. The monitors must be administrative or clerical personnel only. The ruling comes after allegations that the DOJ planned to deploy more than 1,000 personnel — including law enforcement agents and investigators — to polling locations. Walton ordered the department to file a status report by 7 a.m. ET Tuesday confirming that none of the monitors have arrest powers. Full story here foxnews.com/politics/federal…

Donald Trump's voter suppression has failed — for now — as the courts have stopped the admin at every turn. But the fight isn't over. Trump's real goal isn't to win in the courts, but to undermine confidence in the election. democracydocket.com/news-ale…

the United States and the international community should support Ukraine. if they fall, it is highly likely that there will be a major conflict in Europe.
Russia’s intensified air campaign is slowly strangling Ukraine’s economy, targeting industrial and energy plants and the logistics networks, railways and export routes that keep it afloat. Read more: abcnews.link/uwvzi7O

I want everyone to know—do not do business with @CoinFlip. It is a scam and I believe they intentionally target people who are vulnerable. Crypto scams are running rampant and I hope there will be efforts to investigate the business practices of @CoinFlip.
