Senator Roger Wicker

This morning, I released a significant defense investment proposal. Read my plan that would rebuild the U.S. military and defense industrial base for a generation: bit.ly/WickerDefenseI…

There are no words to describe Lindsey Graham, my friend of more than three decades. There are no words to describe his impact on the foreign and domestic policy of the United States. Lindsey served his beloved country in uniform and in the House and Senate. He stood solidly for freedom and strength and he fought for liberty across the globe. Lindsey Graham can be succeeded in office but he cannot be replaced.

This is much-deserved recognition for the University of Southern Mississippi and the Mississippi-Alabama Sea Grant Consortium. Together with the rest of this cooperative, Mississippi researchers will boost U.S. seafood production, coastal jobs, and domestic food security. I look forward to seeing how their work will advance our blue economy and maritime research. noaa.gov/news-release/n…

When our Founders affixed their signatures to the Declaration of Independence in 1776, it was far from certain that the fledging country would endure. They would be amazed to see us now. For 250 years, Americans have set aside July 4th to celebrate the freedoms for which those men pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor. As we mark this year’s historic anniversary, we have so much to appreciate. We all bear a solemn responsibility to follow in our Founder’s footsteps, extending this legacy of freedom to the coming generations. Happy Independence Day!

Congratulations to the 20 new citizens who swore the oath of allegiance today at the @MDAH_Official. They became a part of our nation right before we celebrate this 250th Independence Day. I wish them all the best. It is my privilege to greet each of them as “my fellow American.” Thanks to @MDAH_Official and @SpenceFlatgard for hosting.

Mississippi parents should note this: The generous Dell family has donated $250 to Trump Accounts opened by each qualified family. Children born from 2016 through 2024 in every Mississippi zip code can receive this gift, but parents MUST ACT QUICKLY. The funds are available only for the first 25 million Americans who sign up. Check your child’s eligibility here:   investamerica.org/dell/

The Trump Accounts app helps parents manage their child’s fund. It is also educational. The app comes with financial planning videos that help children learn how to manage money and build their American Dream.

This July 4th is not only a celebration of our 250th Independence Day. It is also the official launch of Trump Accounts! These childhood investment accounts are a powerful way to set up all Mississippi children for financial success. Starting Saturday, parents can log into their child’s account and watch it grow. trumpaccounts.gov

Opinion: Roger Wicker, 'To be American is to debate' clarionledger.com/story/opinion/…

Great to meet this morning with Secretary General Rutte and U.S. Ambassador Whitaker. NATO allies are stepping up—increasing defense investment, support for Ukraine, and industrial base cooperation. When NATO is strong, Americans are more secure and the free world is safer.

Others are noticing what we’ve seen for years. Mississippi is on the move. This Golden Shovel award recognizes the entrepreneurs who have made Mississippi home, the companies that have expanded operations, and the jobs they have created across the state. Mississippi continues to be a great place to do business and to raise a family. The best is still yet to come. supertalk.fm/mississippi-pr…

Congratulations to Darrell Owens upon his confirmation. He will effectively represent the United States’ interests at the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. I look forward to working with him to advance security and prosperity on both sides of the Atlantic.

Stay strong, Mississippi. My office is on the ground and in touch with the local, state, and federal leaders who are handling storm response. I will continue working with those impacted by the recent weather, and I urge all Mississippians to follow @MSEMA guidance.

Congratulations to PM @narendramodi on becoming India’s longest-serving Prime Minister. As the world’s largest democracy, India is a critical partner in a free and open Indo-Pacific. Mississippi values our strong U.S.-India partnership.

@SenatorWicker, the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said he would support Trump abandoning diplomatic talks with Iran and resuming military operations. ji.news/575tb

Congratulations to the Armenian people who voted yesterday to re-elect Prime Minister Pashinyan. I look forward to continuing to work with Mr. Pashinyan and his government to deepen the relationship between our countries and support Armenians as they strengthen their democracy, pursue peace with their neighbors, and reject Russian coercion.

Today, Senate Republicans voted to secure the southern border, pay border patrol agents, and enforce legal immigration. Ensuring our law enforcement has the resources to keep the homeland safe is critical to U.S. national security.

Parents: The new Trump Accounts app makes it even easier to sign your child up for these childhood investment accounts. When it comes to the next generation’s financial success, there is no time to waste. Download the app today!

Congratulations to Pearl River Community College women's softball team on their first national championship in program history! @PRCCathletics has made Mississippi proud!

The rumored 60-day ceasefire — with the belief that Iran will ever engage in good faith — would be a disaster. Everything accomplished by Operation Epic Fury would be for naught!

We are at a moment that will define President Trump’s legacy. His instincts have been to finish the job he started in Iran, but he is being ill advised to pursue a deal that would not be worth the paper it is written on. Our commander-in-chief needs to allow America's skilled armed forces to finish the destruction of Iran's conventional military capabilities and reopen the strait.   Further pursuit of an agreement with Iran's Islamist regime risks a perception of weakness. We must finish what we started. It is past time for action.
