Kamesha Mumford Wins Mississippi Senate District 26 Runoff, Filling Seat John Horhn Vacated Kamesha Mumford, a municipal court judge, won the Mississippi Senate District 26 special runoff election in Hinds and Madison counties.

Kamesha Mumford will be the new senator for Mississippi Senate District 26 after a special election runoff on Tuesday. Though the special election was nonpartisan, she is expected to serve as a Democrat in the Senate.

John Horhn, who is now the mayor of Jackson, had held the seat for 32 years.

Breaking: Sen. Jacky Rosen of the Foreign Relations Cmte. says, if reports are true, "Hegseth likely committed a war crime when he gave an illegal order that led to the killing of incapacitated survivors of the U.S. strike in the Caribbean."

Rosen adds: "He should resign immediately."

At the White House on Monday, Karoline Leavitt, the press secretary, read a statement that said Mr. Hegseth had authorized the Special Operations commander overseeing the attack, Adm. Frank M. Bradley, “to conduct these kinetic strikes.” She said that Admiral Bradley had “worked well within his authority and the law directing the engagement to ensure the boat was destroyed and the threat to the United States of America was eliminated.” According to five U.S. officials, who spoke separately and on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive matter that is under investigation, Mr. Hegseth, ahead of the Sept. 2 attack, ordered a strike that would kill the people on the boat and destroy the vessel and its purported cargo of drugs. But, each official said, Mr. Hegseth’s directive did not specifically address what should happen if a first missile turned out not to fully accomplish all of those things. And, the officials said, his order was not a response to surveillance footage showing that at least two people on the boat survived the first blast. Admiral Bradley ordered the initial missile strike and then several follow-up strikes that killed the initial survivors and sank the disabled boat. As that operation unfolded, they said, Mr. Hegseth did not give any further orders to him.

Her scripted remarks at a news briefing elicited a furious backlash within the Defense Department, where officials described feeling angry at the uncertainty over whether Hegseth would take responsibility for his alleged role in the operation — or leave the military and civilian staff under him to face the consequences. “This is ‘protect Pete’ bulls---,” one military official, who, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal conversations, told The Post. Leavitt’s statement “left it up to interpretation” who was responsible for the second strike that killed the two survivors, a separate military official said, imploring the White House to provide clarity on the issue. One official said of Leavitt’s statement, “It’s throwing us, the service members, under the bus.” Another person said some of Hegseth’s top civilian staff appeared deeply alarmed about the revelations and were contemplating whether to leave the administration.

NYT:
Five officials told us that Hegseth had nothing to do with the second strike

Washpost (which broke the story 2 days ago):
“This is ‘protect Pete’ bullshit,”
and
“It’s throwing us, the service members, under the bus.”

FACT-CHECK: TRUE ✅ 🐔 🐔

Did you ever wonder what mass psychosis looks like? This cabinet meeting is exhibit A and utterly pathetic.

A PBS News tweet explains how two laid-off USAID employees created a website to match donors with canceled programs, keeping nearly 80 projects running in 30 countries. Below the text is an image of two people—Caitlin Tulloch and Rob Rosenbaum—appearing in a split-screen video interview, each seated in their respective rooms.

Meet two heroes of our times.

US judge blocks Trump from cutting Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood in 22 states A federal judge on Tuesday blocked U.S. President Donald Trump's administration from enforcing in 22 states a provision of the Republican's signature tax and domestic policy bill that would deprive Planned Parenthood and local affiliates that perform abortions of Medicaid funding.

Karoline Leavitt does almost daily press briefings. There should be equal and opposite briefings from Democrat spokespeople to counter her lies. God knows there would be plenty of material to counter.

25% of the 8 are from Tennessee. @MarshaBlackburn & @SenatorHagerty we see you. #MarshaMoneyGrab

Federal jury awards $112M to immigrants detained by Suffolk for ICE A federal jury found the county and the Sheriff's Office violated the Constitutional rights of 674 people.

Newly released emails show Jeffrey Epstein writing that Donald Trump had “spent hours at my house” with one of Epstein’s victims, among other messages suggesting that the convicted sex offender believed Trump knew far more about his abuse than he has publicly acknowledged.

A year from now tonight, I will (god willing) be the congressman-elect for Florida’s 21st congressional district, and with a new House majority end the chaos of this administration.

Graphic with text reading: “Threats of violence—real or hoax—undermine democracy. They aim to instill fear, silence communities, and erode trust in our institutions. Protecting democracy means ensuring every person can participate safely and without fear.” Below the text is a New York Times headline that reads: “Bomb Threats Briefly Close Some Polling Sites in New Jersey,” followed by a subhead noting that the threats, deemed hoaxes, came after seven states reported bomb threats on Election Day 2024. Background shows voters entering a polling place, and the JCPA (Jewish Council for Public Affairs) logo appears at the bottom.

Polling places across New Jersey received bomb threats today, forcing temporary closures. Even when not credible, threats of violence undermine democracy—instilling fear and eroding trust.

We stand firmly against all acts that threaten safety or democratic participation.
