This has been a guiding verse for me as I’ve transitioned from the corporate tech world to serving you in the legislature. I wanted to share it with all of you today.
“Criminal justice reform is needed not just in Washington DC, but in Mississippi as well.” This article makes some great points about why criminal justice reform is needed in our state.
This is a verse that I try to keep at the forefront of my mind during the session. “Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.” Isaiah 1:17
If anyone is annoyed about Coinbase crashing, just remember the traditional financial system crashes every Friday afternoon and doesn’t come back online until Monday morning.

I have helped hundreds of people onboard to Coinbase. Probably 25% of them get stuck at this screen and it just won’t go past it no matter what they do. There’s definitely a bug in your platform.
