JUST IN: The Mississippi Senate just approved a bill that will give a pay raise to teachers and teacher assistants. The bill now moves to the House.
A proposal to increase Mississippi teachers' pay is advancing at the state Capitol. Senate Bill 2001 passed the Senate Appropriations Committee on Monday, six days after it cleared the Education Committee. #msleg

Mississippi legislators are again mulling pay increases for the state's teachers. SB 2001, which unanimously passed the Senate Education Committee on Wednesday, would give certified teachers with three or more years of experience a $1,000 pay increase.
Mississippi Senate Minority Leader Derrick Simmons and House Minority Leader Robert Johnson III sent a letter to Governor Tate Reeves asking him to send members of the Mississippi National Guard to the Presidential Inauguration.
One more detail about the chase up the Senate steps by a mob carrying a Confederate flag: it happened in front of portrait of Sen. Blanche Kelso Bruce, a Mississippi Republican who was the first Black senator to serve a full term, during Reconstruction
Just talked to Mississippi Rep. @BennieGThompson , who was in the Senate gallery when the #breach of US Capitol took place. He said they had to lay on the floor for 20 minutes, were taken to basement, escorted out & given tear gas and gas masks.

Emmett Till was lynched 65 years ago today. The 14-year-old was kidnapped and murdered by two white men in Mississippi. His killers were acquitted by an all-white jury and never brought to justice. A bill to make lynching a federal hate crime is still stalled in the Senate.
Weird that this article from NBC News neglects to name the party responsible for passage of this measure. GOP dominates the Mississippi House 74-45 and the Senate 36-16, and the governor is a Republican. Yet the GOP never appears in this article. Odd.
Very sad to hear the news on the passing of my friend, Senator Thad Cochran. He was a real Senator with incredible values - even flew back to Senate from Mississippi for important Healthcare Vote when he was desperately ill. Thad never let our Country (or me) down!
Not sure who looked worse here, Mississippi Gov Phil Bryant or Senate candidate Cindy Hyde Smith. Either way, this might be the most impressive — and by that, I mean the worst — pivot ever.
...Cindy has voted for our Agenda in the Senate 100% of the time and has my complete and total Endorsement. We need Cindy to win in Mississippi!
BREAKING: Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith wins election to U.S. Senate in Mississippi. #APracecall #Election2018
