The severe weather crisis in Texas was so bad that power went out and water and sanitation quickly followed. While Texas has power and water and can begin the long, tedious process of repairing their homes, Mississippi is still suffering.

"Is the language you're hearing for them now about March 4th similar in any way to the language that you heard from them before January 6th?" asked anchor Erin Burnett, referring to the violent invasion of the U.S. Capitol by pro-Trump demonstrators and right-wing paramilitary groups.

"Watkins, a Topeka Republican who served one term in the U.S. House, faced three felony charges related to voting in the wrong Topeka city council district in the 2019 municipal election," reported Brian Lowry. "Watkins used the address of a UPS store for his voter registration. In addition to charges of voting illegally, Watkins was accused of interference with law enforcement for lying to a Shawnee County detective who investigated the matter."
