Your life is more expensive today because of Donald Trump.

[Rep. Bennie G. Thompson @BennieGThompson]

A new school year brings new opportunities to learn, grow, and dream big. This National Back to School Month, we celebrate our students and educators and continue working to make sure every student, no matter their ZIP code, can learn and thrive.

[Rep. Bennie G. Thompson @BennieGThompson]

The right to vote is under attack. As we commemorate the enactment of the Voting Rights Act, we must remember that the fight for freedom is not yet over. It’s time for Congress to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and end the era of voter suppression once and for all.

We warned that the Trump admin was gutting FEMA for over a year. Now GAO confirms it.

Americans deserve a FEMA that is fully staffed, prepared, and ready before the next hurricane strikes.

[FactPost @factpostnews]

A watchdog reports FEMA is unprepared for future emergencies after the Trump administration pushed out over 6,400 employees from the disaster response agency.

[House Democrats @HouseDemocrats]

Donald Trump and Republicans are doing EVERYTHING they can to try to SILENCE Americans at the polls. 

They're cheating to keep their majority.

We won't let them.

[Rep. Bennie G. Thompson @BennieGThompson]

My sincere thanks to Dr. James L. Coleman, Jr., the Board of Directors, and the entire G.A. Carmichael team for this incredible honor. Federally Qualified Health Centers like G.A. Carmichael are vital to Mississippi, expanding access to quality, affordable health care in rural and underserved communities.

Together, we will continue working to ensure every Mississippian has access to the care they deserve. Health care is a necessity, not a privilege.

[Rep. Bennie G. Thompson @BennieGThompson]

I was humbled to join the G.A. Carmichael Family Health Center for the unveiling of the Congressman Bennie G. Thompson Health and Wellness Center.

Donald Trump wants to compensate the domestic terrorists who assaulted more the 140 cops on January 6th.

And he wants to do it with YOUR tax dollars.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Trump on Weaponization Fund/January 6th: People were horribly treated and abused. I’d like to see them compensated. They went down for an innocent journey

[Homeland Dems @HomelandDems]

🚨ICE was just caught PEPPER SPRAYING a woman in NYC for the “crime” of FILMING.

The agency is terrorizing our communities, and Republicans refuse to investigate. This is indefensible.

[House Democrats @HouseDemocrats]

This spring, farmers had to spend MORE to plant key crops.

American farmers are paying the price for Trump's endless war in Iran.

Republicans control the House, Senate and White House.

They have every opportunity to lower costs for working families.

But they refuse. Instead, they’re letting the American people get crushed by rising costs.

[Rep. Bennie G. Thompson @BennieGThompson]

A nominee for Attorney General who puts the interests of President Trump above the rule of law has no business leading the Justice Department.

No one is above the law.

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

Breaking news: President Trump suggests he could withdraw Todd Blanche’s nomination to become attorney general until next year, until GOP holdouts leave Senate. https://t.co/BYZkJ7dbEc

[House Democrats @HouseDemocrats]

On July 30, 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed Medicare and Medicaid into law, expanding access to healthcare for millions of Americans. 

These programs are lifelines for our communities, and House Democrats are fighting to protect them.

[Rep. Bennie G. Thompson @BennieGThompson]

The Trump Administration has announced it will end a program that helped keep Medicare Part D prescription drug premiums lower.

This decision could mean higher costs for many seniors next year. Seniors on fixed incomes deserve affordable healthcare, not higher prices for the medications they rely on.

[FactPost @factpostnews]

The Trump administration is ending Medicare Part D subsidies, raising prescription drug costs for more than 11 million Americans.

[Rep. Bennie G. Thompson @BennieGThompson]

I was happy to be a part of the grand opening of Jackson’s first AT&T Connected Learning Center, made possible through the partnership between AT&T and The Bean Path.

The center will provide the community with free access to high-speed internet, digital literacy training and more.

I was honored to join the Leake County School District's 2026 Back-to-School Convocation as educators gathered to prepare for the start of another school year.

We celebrated the dedication of the teachers, administrators, and school staff who work every day to educate our children.
