The outrages keep piling up day after day. On February 6, 2026 at 5:44 in the morning, the Truth Social Account from “Donald J. Trump@realDonaldTrump” tweeted a 62-second video of former President of the United States Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama as hairy, muscular apes, swaying in a jungle to music. I do not know how many overt racists there are in the United States of America. I venture there are not enough to keep either the President or his party in power.

Some places don’t just feed you—they welcome you into an experience that captures Mississippi’s warmth and makes you want to return.
If Natchez had a love language, it would be atmosphere: authentic and deeply felt.
Not the manufactured kind. I mean the kind that settles into old brick, wraps around a chandelier, and somehow makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a place that has been waiting for you.
That’s exactly what happens when you walk into Frankie’s on Main.

Intention and innovation are around every corner at Mississippi’s first children’s museum.
There are certain places in Mississippi that don’t just hold space — they hold seasons of life.
Lynn Meadows Discovery Center in Gulfport is one of those places.
I used to take my sons there when they were little, in the days of snack cups and “Mama, watch this!”—a pure slice of motherhood.

Below is a political opinion column by Russ Latino:
Calvin Coolidge slashed spending and the national debt. He cut taxes and championed American business. Coolidge ushered in the unbridled success of the Roaring 20s, and yet, he’s forgotten.
At a Washington dinner party, a socialite sidled up to President Calvin Coolidge with a mischievous smile. “Mr. President,” she said, “I’ve made a bet that I can get you to say more than three words.”
Coolidge looked at her, expression unchanged, and replied, “you lose.”

Both bills are works in progress as lawmakers continue to move legislation out of committees for consideration.
The Mississippi Senate Education Committee passed two bills on Monday that could have far reaching implications.
One measure would create a small student transfer program for students in the lowest ranking school districts while a separate bill would mandate school districts receive notification within 24 hours of a student’s felony arrest.
