Leveraging the global finance system against Iran and other rogue nations that sponsor terrorism is a position I'm happy to take.

President Trump and his administration have made an intensive effort to roll back President Obama's big-government regulations, the worst of which was the Waters of the United States rule. That rule was the poster child for overreaching bureaucrats giving the federal government far-reaching powers over individual landowners.

The American people expect their government to manage their hard-earned tax dollars responsibly.

President Trump is right to get out of the Iran Nuclear Deal and impose economic sanctions in order to force a more legitimate agreement to fight the threat Iran poses to our interests, our allies, and peace in the region.

I am from Brookhaven, a small town in Southwest Mississippi.

I know firsthand how our being such a rural state presents challenges to healthcare.

When I was in the Mississippi Legislature, we worked to establish the Mississippi Rural Physicians Scholarship Program to help address the shortage of physicians in the rural areas of the state.

We all have a role in keeping our communities safe. We also owe a measure of gratitude to the men and women in law enforcement who dedicate their lives on a daily basis to protect us.

My heart goes out to the families of our fallen officers.

Deficits and debt threaten the growing American economy and our national security over the long term.

Congress must simply do more to eliminate waste and be good stewards of taxpayer dollars.

Completing annual appropriations bills would be an important step in responsible federal budgeting.

The Internet, like most successful American innovations, have not thrived because of heavy-handed government regulation.

I support greater access to the Internet, but going back to Obama-era regulations is not the answer.

Good stewardship of the environment and our natural resources is necessary.

Having individuals who are prepared to work is helping small business owners succeed and expand.

The economic importance of small businesses in Mississippi has always been significant, and it's well positioned to increase.

Mississippi catfish producers deserve to compete on a level playing field with foreign producers, and, more importantly, American consumers need to be confident that the catfish they serve their families is healthy, safe, and free of dangerous chemicals.

I'm pleased with our state's willingness to support responsible off-shore energy production while also giving special focus to enhance the beautiful Mississippi Gulf Coast.

The financial hardships caused by COVID-19 puts some renters and homeowners at risk of becoming homeless, which could mean greater risk of contracting and spreading the coronavirus for families.

Justice Ginsburg devoted her life to the law, becoming one of the most respected and influential woman in our time. I appreciate her dedication and service to the nation.

Mississippi is a welcoming duty station for servicemembers and their working spouses.

A national standard for recognizing the occupational licenses of military spouses across state lines would have many potential benefits. It would help improve military family life, add to the economy, and, importantly, allow a military spouse to fulfill their career goals.

There are any number of reasons many talented people, particularly women, leave their careers for a period of time.

The Pledge of Allegiance was founded on ideals of religious freedom, and has been a valuable part of our national life for generations.

Filling a vacancy on the U.S. Supreme Court is a solemn process for our nation, and I hope Senate consideration of Judge Barrett will not descend into the dishonorable spectacle that Americans witnessed during the confirmation of Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

The challenges facing our Armed Forces are increasingly complex.

I firmly believe in the sanctity of life.

Many of Mississippi's veterans and their families know the hardship associated with driving long distances to access VA healthcare benefits.

It is an honor to support strong legislation to make it easier for our veterans to receive the care promised to them by a grateful nation.

Memorial Day is a special day to take pause and pay tribute to those brave men and women who lost their lives defending our country and preserving our way of life.

I am humbled and inspired by the ultimate sacrifice made by so many Mississippians on behalf of our nation, and the families they left behind.

Strengthening our critical strategic alliance with Israel is in U.S. security interests and the absolute right thing to do for our closest friend in a very dangerous part of the world.

I'm pleased to support legislation to guarantee Israel has the resources to protect itself from existing and evolving threats from Iran, Hezbollah, and other bad actors.

Generations of American men and women have served our country in the Armed Forces and sacrificed to protect our freedoms.

The responsibility for keeping our commitments to veterans falls on the federal government.

Many veterans in Mississippi struggle with the bureaucratic process of the Veterans Administration.

President Trump has selected qualified, conservative nominees to serve in the federal judiciary and his administration.

The congressional tradition of escaping the nation's capital in August dates back to the time before air conditioning when Senators would race home before the summer heat reached its peak. I've got an advantage over many of my colleagues because we in Mississippi know something about summer heat.

I'm proud to serve on the Senate Agriculture Committee.

The VA MISSION Act signed into law by President Trump will do a great deal to improve access to health care for rural veterans but it will require vigilance to ensure we provide annual appropriations needed to implement it.

Air service is an important asset for rural communities in Mississippi.

Sanctuary city policies disrespect the rule of law in this country.

Entering the country illegally is bad enough, but to then commit crimes against innocent Americans is completely unacceptable.

Not a single federal dollar should be used for states or cities efforts to target law-abiding gun owners.

We are a nation of laws and we must enforce our immigration laws.

Mississippians for the most part appreciate U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service management of our wildlife refuges and other natural resources.

Federal rules and regulations too often become seemingly insurmountable obstacles to simple changes that can have a positive impact.

The truth is that some of Mississippi's greatest advocates for conservation and habitat protection are the sportsmen and hunters. Our state's beautiful and abundant natural lands are enhanced, protected and paid for in large part by those who enjoy hunting.

Abolishing ICE means abandoning our borders and leaving them open to anyone. That's just irresponsible and certainly not in the best interest of the American people and their security.
