Today, I proudly voted against House Republicans' Big Ugly Bill. The legislation is a rip off and will make people's lives worse. It will raise costs, cut Medicaid, and rip food from the tables of families, including those in MS02, who rely on SNAP. See my statement below,

Today we mourn with the families of those killed in this horrific Antisemitic attack. The FBI must act swiftly. Targeted violence is on the rise and the Federal government must do more to prevent. Read @BennieGThompson full statement below:

If the GOP Tax Scam passes, 35,337 people in Mississippi’s Second Congressional District could lose their health coverage through Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act. This means many people could suffer or even die simply because they can’t afford to see a doctor.

Republicans blatantly scheduled a 1AM committee hearing to push their GOP Tax Scam. This is toxic behavior. The Republican Party continues to show they don’t care about cutting Medicaid for families, taking food from millions of kids, or slashing essential programs like FEMA.

.@BennieGThompson: “I come from an agricultural district. And let me tell you. you can’t shovel shit and call it sugar.”. Republicans are gutting Medicaid for 14 million Americans and adding whatever they can to this 💩 bill to sweeten the deal. It still stinks.

Actions like this silence the legacy of civil rights heroes like Medgar Evers, who fought to integrate Mississippi’s higher education system. While this law claims to promote equal opportunity in public schools and post-secondary education, it threatens to shut down the very.

It's a sad day when a Member of Congress can't uphold their oath of office by lawfully visiting a detention facility in Newark. The charges brought against Rep. Mclver are a blatant attempt by the Trump administration to interfere with Congress’ ability to be a check and.
