Mississippi, WE DID IT! Congratulations again to Senator-elect Scott Colom on his historic election to the United States Senate! I look forward to serving alongside you in Congress and ensuring that the voices of all Mississippians are heard in Washington. Let's get to work!

I joined MS NOW to discuss Scott Colom’s historic Senate run, what it means for the state of Mississippi. Mississippians made their voices heard, and the results speak for themselves.

I thank the people of Mississippi's Second Congressional District for continuing to place their faith and trust in me. Serving you is an honor I do not take lightly, and there is still much work to be done. Keep the faith!

Thank you to the people of Amite, Franklin, Leake, and Wilkinson counties for the warm welcome and continued support on the campaign trail. It is encouraging to see so many people showing up and getting involved. We have 4 days left until November 3rd. Make your vote count!

It was a pleasure to join Coahoma Community College in celebrating this year’s Homecoming Queen, King, and members of the Royal Court. Congratulations to all on this special achievement and for representing Coahoma with pride! Picture Credit: Coahoma Community College

I was glad to join the Glendora community for a prayer vigil and Stop the Violence ceremony on Saturday. Addressing violence takes all of us working together. We must invest in our communities, support our families, and build safer communities for future generations.

Today’s roundtable discussion on rural health care with @kamalaharris.com and Scott Colom was a reminder that the future of rural health care depends on the decisions our leaders make and whether they put the needs of the people first. It all starts at the ballot box!

We are 12 days from the November 3rd midterm elections. Recent Supreme Court action has allowed the Trump administration to use an expanded federal database to review voter registration records. Every eligible voter should make sure their registration information is accurate and up to date!

I was glad to join Gateway Community Development Corporation, HOPE Enterprise Corporation, and community leaders in Yazoo City for the ribbon-cutting of Roberts Estates.   Thank you to Gateway CDC and everyone who helped make this project possible.

Last Saturday, I had the opportunity to speak at the Men’s Prayer Breakfast at Sharon Chapel A.M.E. Zion Church.

It was a good morning of fellowship and a reminder that iron sharpens iron. 

We must keep encouraging our men and preparing the next generation to lead.

Political affiliation should never matter more than the character of the person leading our country. Leadership requires honesty, integrity, and accountability, not corruption. We must never lose sight of the values that matter most.

The Trump Administration stopped accepting new enrollments in the Veterans Affairs Servicing Purchase program, which had helped more than 17,000 veterans and their families avoid foreclosure. Ending this assistance removed a critical lifeline for veterans struggling to keep their homes.

Trump has always sold Americans false promises while putting himself first. He has never made the American people his priority. Shame on him! #Dtomoveforward

We're not sure some people realize what an absolute, complete fraud this man is - he ran for president talking non-stop about how he was going to lower costs "on Day One." And not only has he not done that, he's made costs skyrocket even further. #DonTheCon

Republicans say, “Vote red to save our country.” But look at the red states led by Republicans. Many are struggling with child poverty, high mortality rates, and poor healthcare systems because Republican lawmakers vote against policies that could help address the problem. That does not add up.

More than 70 years after Brown v. Board of Education, the Trump Administration is moving to end federal oversight in school desegregation cases, including in Mississippi. Every child deserves equal access to a quality education. www.cbsnews.com/news/doj-see...

DOJ says it has ended more than 50 decades-old school desegregation cases

The Justice Department said Thursday it has ended more than 50 long-standing consent decrees dating back decades that sought to curb unlawful racial segregation that was prevalent during the Jim Crow ...

When I entered Bolton Colored School I was taught that no individual is above the law.   Obviously Donald Trump was taught the opposite.

MS NOW: "Breaking as we speak -- MS NOW and CNN have just been blocked from attending yet another White House event ... I was told to reach out to Steven Cheung"

Thank you to the James E. Clyburn Leadership Institute for inviting me to speak with this year’s fellowship cohort to discuss the implications of the Louisiana v. Callais decision for national and state races for 2026.

Last Saturday, I joined citizens in Holly Springs for the 10th Annual Building Power Summit. The message was clear: We must continue to stand together and fight for justice.

I am proud to invite you to hear the Coahoma Community College Choir and soloist Anna Hurd as they represent Mississippi at the 55th Congressional Black Caucus Annual Legislative Conference Gospel Extravaganza in Washington, D.C., on September 17.

Today is National Voter Registration Day. If you are not registered to vote, I encourage you to contact one of my district offices or your local Circuit Clerk’s office to learn where and how to register. The deadline to register in Mississippi for the November elections is October 5th.

Everything Trump touches, he destroys. We have seen it time and time again. Put Trump in charge, and working systems become a mess.

Democrats have a proven track record of putting American people first. Under this current administration, too many Americans are suffering while Republicans continue pushing policies that favor the wealthy and well-connected.

Happy Labor Day! Today, we honor the workers whose skill, dedication, and contributions keep our communities and economy moving.

I enjoyed speaking at the Faith Leaders Luncheon in Jackson, MS, last week to discuss the importance of voting and the role our churches can play in strengthening our communities.

Everyone has a choice to make in November! Do you want to move this country forward or keep going backwards?

It was my honor to attend the Mississippi Regional Housing Authority VI Ribbon Cutting and Open House for Pattison Homes I & II. I am glad to see this development renovated and ready to provide safe, quality housing for families in our community.

Thank you to Delta Health System at Delta Regional Medical Center for inviting me to tour and meet with healthcare leaders about the needs of our local communities.

When I chaired the Jan 6th Committee, we exposed the truth about the violent attack on our Capitol and held insurrectionists accountable. Trump chose to pardon more than 1,500 of them. Now many have been accused of new crimes. These criminals are still a danger to our society.

Thank you to the Mississippi Independent Pharmacies Association and Magic Mart Pharmacy in Indianola for inviting me to tour Magic Mart and discuss the important role local pharmacies play in our rural communities. www.enterprise-tocsin.com/thompson-tal...
