Mississippi mariners are sounding the alarm.
The ongoing Jones Act waiver allows foreign vessels and foreign crews into domestic trades, creating uncertainty for the highly trained US mariners who keep America's waterways moving.
"It’s a terrible situation," says one captain.
@SpeakerJohnson 19 Republicans withheld our votes in order to preserve Constitutionally guaranteed rights.
By refusing to honor the Fourth Amendment, you’re jeopardizing the continuation of FISA.
Include a WARRANT requirement for US citizens if you want Republicans to pass this bill.
For years, I have worked to rebuild America's icebreaker fleet and ensure new vessels are homeported in Alaska. With two new Arctic Security Cutters officially coming to Kodiak and another planned for Seward, that effort is now translating into real investments, real assets, and real opportunities for our state.
These vessels will enable the Coast Guard to support missions across the North Pacific and Arctic, strengthening our national security and emergency response. But they’ll do a lot more than break the ice: they’ll also bring new housing investment, construction jobs, and Coast Guard families to our communities, supporting local businesses and creating opportunities to grow.
There is still significant work ahead at every level to build the shoreside infrastructure needed to support our growing icebreaking fleet. But homeporting them where they belong—Alaska—is the next essential step to turning this long-held vision into reality.

59 years ago today, Israel attacked the USS Liberty in international waters. 34 crew members were killed and 174 were wounded by the IDF.
Today, I spoke on the House floor to honor the fallen and to recognize the survivors who were present in the gallery.
