This is more proof our state is worth investing in.

It was great to talk with Mayor Rod Bobo about water and wastewater infrastructure, working together to reduce and prevent crime, and the need for a community center in West Point.

No jail cell or word limit has been able to stifle Vladimir Kara-Murza’s advocacy. The world has benefited from his words.

Last month, from Prison Colony No. 7 in Siberia, he wrote, “Sometimes the most powerful tool of all is simply telling the truth.”

Every community needs reliable health care, but they all have unique needs.

A one-size-fits-all approach fails to meet the particular issues facing different regions of Mississippi.

Vladimir Kara-Murza was detained and put in prison in 2022, sentenced to 25 years in jail after speaking out against President Vladimir Putin.

I delivered a floor speech calling for the Biden administration to label Kara-Murza “unlawfully and wrongfully detained.”

I met with Long Beach Mayor George Bass today to discuss the city’s unmet disaster recovery needs, including those from Hurricane Zeta.

I will keep working with local officials to deliver results.

The Biden admin's naval policies create more excuses than ships. Since President Biden took office, the Chinese Navy has grown their battle fleet while ours has shrunk. Congress will again need to act to prevent early ship retirements & provide sailors with the platforms they need to win.

Tornado Warning for Hancock and Harrison County in MS until 11:00am CDT.

Widespread severe thunderstorms are expected today across parts of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and the Florida Panhandle. Tornadoes and widespread damaging winds are anticipated. Stay weather aware by following your NWS office and media for the latest watches and warnings.

The Biden admin wants to put a one-size-fits-all on everything: Whether it is health care, nursing homes, or in this case, energy policy.

Blaming rural states such as Mississippi for issues in major metropolitan cites in states far away is just silly.

During this morning's hearing, I asked Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin questions about Israel and Gaza.

His responses:

This morning's hearing was the first time Biden administration officials have defended this year’s defense budget request before SASC GOP.

Mississippi, severe weather is headed our way. Be alert and make a plan now.

After Pearl Harbor and 9/11, no one asked us about a ceasefire.

Calling for a ceasefire, instead of hostage release and unconditional victory, creates a false equivalence between Israel & Hamas.

'But instead of displaying American resolve, our President seems to be mollifying the left wing of his party,' Wicker said. 'Calling for a ceasefire instead of hostage release and unconditional victory creates a false equivalence between Israel and Hamas.'

It was my honor to work together with other members of the Mississippi delegation to secure federal support for new projects at two health care centers, which will allow these providers to reach even more of our neighbors.

Mississippi’s federal delegation continues to reaffirm our support for Meridian to receive the KC-46 mission at Key Field.

Attracting more military investment and training opportunities across Mississippi is one of our top priorities.
