Colom: The problem with President Trump and Cindy High Prices—I call her High Prices because that's all we get from her...
It's like my mom, when I was growing up, she told me, "Scott, if you talk too much, your ears start to shrink. And if they shrink too much, you won't be able to hear."
President Trump and Senator Hyde-Smith have been talking too much.
They haven't been listening. And because they haven't been listening, they don't understand that people are out there struggling. The tariffs have been terrible. The One Big Beautiful Bill has been a disaster for Mississippi, and they lied to us and betrayed us when it came to the Epstein files. They promised they would prosecute pedophiles, not protect them. And so that's why Mississippi is on the map.

It has been an honor to be part of the legal team that helped secure this historic victory.
I could not be prouder of the work Elias Law Group does every day to help Democrats like Scott Colom win elections, citizens vote and progressives make change.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio took 23 trips to Gainesville on military aircraft over two seasons, 15 of them personal, and attended at least 10 of his son's Florida football games, The Washington Post reports. The Post estimates the flights cost more than $1.2 million.

.@scott_colom, when you get to Washington, come on over to Maryland and I’ll take you to get some some real crab cakes! 🤣
I’m down in Mississippi campaigning for my friend @scott_colom, and I gave a Mississippi crab cake a try. It was good, but let’s be honest, nothing beats a Maryland crab cake 🦀

Congrats to @NCGOP on becoming the encyclopedia example of a dummymander. I hope this will motivate you to spend less time suppressing voters and more time delivering for them!

A soldier guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier issued a verbal reprimand to a group of advisers and staffers with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth following a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery. As the group broke from taking photos, a loud laugh could be heard, and the soldier guarding the tomb shouted: “All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times.”

Along with the thanks of a grateful nation, American veterans and their families deserve to live lives of dignity and opportunity.
This Veterans Day, let's commit to un-DOGE and fully fund the VA so every veteran has access to health care, education, and housing.

Let's be crystal clear about what happened here: Republicans manipulated the rules and just passed a bill - on Veterans Day - that would made the largest cuts to veterans' benefits in history.
It's absolutely disgraceful. The American people should know where their representatives stood on this legislation. I would have been a strong NO.
I've long supported the bipartisan Major Richard Star Act which would actually allow more veterans to retire with dignity. Our veterans deserve better.
HOUSE MINORITY WHIP KATHERINE CLARK's office sent out this note to members about the TCAVA vote:
"After publicly announcing a recorded vote on TCAVA, House Republicans asked if RM Takano and Democrats would agree to last minute engrossment corrections. While RM Takano and staff were evaluating these changes away from the podium, House Republicans called the vote up and passed it by voice within minutes — depriving RM Takano of the ability to even evaluate the proposed changes and ask for a recorded vote so Members could vote against the biggest cut to veterans benefits in US history."

On Veterans Day, we recognize the men and women who have sacrificed so much for our country. We owe them more than our gratitude — we owe them our unwavering commitment to ensuring they receive the care, benefits and support they’ve earned.
To every veteran across Mississippi and our nation: thank you for your service.

🚨JUST IN: The leader of Britain’s Liberal Democrats just said it on the record.
“Donald Trump is no leader of the free world. He’s a dangerous and corrupt gangster.”
He’s also calling on Keir Starmer to cancel the King’s state visit to Washington before it’s too late.

It’s Veterans Day. And House Republicans just passed a bill to cut Veterans benefits by $57 billion, according to the VA’s own estimates.
This is how they’re thanking our heroes for their service.

Demanding accountability isn't a crime.
Getting answers isn't a crime.
Exposing the corruption that is driving up costs is part of the mandate we have been given.
And we will do it.
