Trying to depict himself as Jesus Christ is blatant blasphemy and a complete disgrace. It is offensive to people of faith and shows a level of arrogance that should concern every American.

But truthfully, I’m not surprised. This kind of erratic, self-serving behavior has been on display for years.

When they start complaining about how horrible things are right now, just remind them we voted for the Vice President, we chose clear, qualified leadership, not convicted chaos.

This is Republican governance, reckless, harmful, and out of touch. They don’t fix problems, they create them, then leave everyday people to deal with the damage. Democrats fight to build, they choose to break.

While some answered the call to serve, others found ways to avoid it. Character shows in the choices you make when duty calls.

I found this throwback of my friend and brother Congressman Jim Clyburn, my friend the late Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson, and the late Secretary Alexis M. Herman. Moments like these remind me of the power of leadership, legacy, and lifelong friendship in public service.

I didn’t begin this journey at the top or with a roadmap. As Langston Hughes wrote, life has not been a crystal stair. Every challenge only strengthened my resolve to expand access and opportunity.

Thank you for the faith and the honor of serving you.

The past few days, I’ve been on the road for our annual “Big Check” presentations bringing federal investments directly back to our communities.

There’s nothing better than seeing resources secured in Washington make a real difference here at home. Serving MS02

I truly enjoyed visiting St. Peter M.B. Church in Grenada County for their Black History Program. It was an honor to reflect on our history and celebrate the strength and resilience that continue to shape us today.

Mississippi’s Second District is built on faith, resilience, and strong communities. When we come together and look out for one another, we are stronger than any challenge we face.

The chaos coming out of this administration and Congressional Republicans continues to hurt working families and create uncertainty in our communities. I will continue to speak up and fight back when policies threaten Mississippi families.

Another U.S. citizen killed in cold blood by ICE/CBP in Minneapolis for exercising First Amendment rights. Sick and un-American. Trump and Kristi Noem have blood on their hands. Release the body-cam footage now and get ICE and CBP out of Minneapolis.

This weekend was absolutely splendid. I enjoyed traveling through the district, participating in some of the MLK parades, and fellowshiping with the good folks of the district.

As a Member of Congress, I swore an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. I will continue to honor that oath, because as far as I am concerned, the danger remains clear and present, and it happens to be sitting in the Oval Office.
