1. I've never forgotten this when traveling to/through Mississippi.

The number and intensity of MAGATs there make me think that not much may have changed. Beautiful Gulf coastline and I'm sure there are some wonderful people there too, but... To DUer Mississippians, I mean no disrespect, and every election cycle I hope that Democrats might make progress...

2. Mary Trump talked about that in her latest book, that Mississippi elected Black senators in the 1800s

And faulted their failure to pass a bill allowing former felons to vote.
