Today, we honor the brave men and women who have served our country and the sacrifices they and their families have made on our behalf.
But honoring our veterans requires more than words of gratitude. It requires action.
That means better access to health care, shorter wait times, stronger mental health services, and a VA that treats every veteran with the dignity, respect, and urgency they deserve.
Our veterans have already answered the call to serve their country. They shouldnโt have to fight Washington to receive the care and benefits theyโve earned.
They fought for us. In the U.S. Senate, Iโll fight for them.
We are not backing down. This election is not over. Our team is working across Mississippi to monitor the remaining ballots and protect the integrity of the process. We will see this through to the very end!
"The stateโs last Black Senator was born a slave, and its last Democratic senator was a segregationist."
the arc of progress is not linear, but in recent centuries, it has bended in a way that inevitably makes it seem like it is
A stateโwhere students at the states flagship university once attempted an insurrection to avoid desegregationโwill now be represented by a Black man in the US Senate for the first time since Reconstruction.
OJEDA: These are people that should be impeached and then prosecuted for what they have done. People have been snatched off the streets, given no due process and have ended up in gulags someplace. For what? Because they wanted to come to the United States of America and create a better opportunity for their children. This is unacceptable. That's not American.ย
Immigrants make this country great, you know, for what you do to the least of my brethren, you do unto me. Jesus did not tell you to hate the stranger. Jesus told you to love the stranger. And that's what we need to do. And that's not what we're seeing right now.ย
I want Hegseth and them prosecuted for what they have done.
