A Mississippi GOP Senator may be challenged for her seat by a Democrat she once blocked from a federal judge appointment, according to a Semafor story,

Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith is set to face Scott Colom, who was the subject of Hyde-Smith’s 2023 veto as he sought a seat as a federal judge. The irony is that if he won appointment for life, he would likely not be seeking her seat.

Colom is expected to win the Democratic Senate race this week in the state's primary.

While Colom is an admitted longshot as a progressive Democrat running in a deep-red state, he has done research into a key talking point for the campaign trail.

When his federal bench appointment was denied by Hyde-Smith, who cited his progressive views, Colom "dug into her voting record," according to Semafor. He plans to cite her failure to bring the state federal funding for infrastructure investments and the domestic chip-building industry. Both would bolster the economy in one of the poorest U.S. states.

“Mississippi has a rich history of electing senators that understand that Mississippi and our needs have to be first. ... Sen. Hyde-Smith is the first one we’ve had in a long time that’s totally betrayed that,” Colom said.

The campaign rhetoric is already heating up. Jake Morissen, Hyde-Smith’s campaign manager, brought up Colom's prior support of the transgender community. Colom signed a letter five years ago from an organization representing prosecutors and law enforcement to “condemn the ongoing efforts to criminalize transgender people.”

Mississippi has long been a Republican stronghold. The last Democrat to win the state was Sen. John Stennis in 1982. President Donald Trump won the state by 22 points in 2024.

However, things may be changing. In the 2018 senatorial race, former Rep. Mike Espy lost to Hyde-Smith by only seven points. Democrats also came with three points of winning the governor’s race in 2023, and took several state legislative seats in 2025, breaking a GOP supermajority.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
