Great reporting. Doesn't surprise though...of course THEY know the benefits...just don't align with the Republican agenda.

Fact that Gov. Reeves called former Ole Miss Chancellor Dan Jones a liar is shocking. I assumed he would say Jones misremembered or incorrectly heard what he said. But Reeves went straight for 'L' word while using preplexing term of dude to refer to a respected medical doctor.

Helping to spread misinformation? 🤔

So glad that honest, trustworthy people like Dr Jones tell us about these things.

This is a lie!!

Dan Jones is a truth teller.
