China cannot get away with regional bullying and disrespect for the rule of law.   The U.S. must invest in deterrence – or risk ceding our interests to the will of Beijing.   https://t.co/8LuT4OXjPK — PolitiTweet.org

It was great meeting with representatives from the Mississippi Soil and Water Conservation Commission.   They shared how they support Mississippi’s forestry industry, advocate for locally-led conservation, and protect our soil and watersheds. — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to the Mississippi Department of Banking and Consumer Finance’s newly appointed Bank Commissioner, Rhoshunda Kelly!   During our meeting today, I enjoyed discussing their supervisory role of financial institutions in our state. — PolitiTweet.org

Today Admiral Aquilino, @POTUS’s pick to lead INDOPACOM, joined the chorus of voices in the @DeptofDefense agreeing that the @USNavy needs a bigger fleet. But the Biden Administration has yet to commit to a 405-ship fleet goal. https://t.co/hEpjk1Tidy — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Roger Wicker @SenatorWicker

.@POTUS has not committed to the Pentagon’s 405-ship goal for the @USNavy. I hope President Biden will agree with our military leaders that more ships are necessary to restore American superiority at sea. #WickerReport https://t.co/TcRWMFZRI1 — PolitiTweet.org

Taiwan is an important ally. Cooperation between the U.S. and Taiwan is crucial to limiting China’s overreach in the region. In today’s SASC hearing, I pressed ADM Aquilino on this important partnership. @TECRO_USA https://t.co/8Q2k9Dqtgh — PolitiTweet.org

Happy National Agriculture Day! In my home state of Mississippi, agriculture is a $7.35 billion industry that employs many of our residents. It is a privilege to advocate in Congress for our farmers and their families. https://t.co/MNTJhwywXT — PolitiTweet.org

I am glad this Administration committed to calling out China’s aggression. But this is only the first step. An effective U.S. strategy will require more than tough talk. It will require investing in tools we need to counter a rising Chinese military. https://t.co/dluiBMkWdc — PolitiTweet.org

The Global #MagnitskyAct was designed to give world leaders the power to hold individuals to account for human rights abuses and corruption. I call on President Biden to hold the line against Chinese human rights abuses and continue to expose these actions everywhere. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Roger Wicker @SenatorWicker

The Uyghur people continue to endure horrific treatment at the hands of the Chinese government, which is intent upon erasing their identity & culture. I am glad the Biden admin has used the Global Magnitsky Act to sanction individuals who have been tied to these atrocities. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Roger Wicker @SenatorWicker

An @OMBPress proposal would strip over 140 cities, including @Hattiesburg_MS, of their metropolitan area status. This would impact federal funding and hinder economic development opportunities. I have urged OMB to abandon this plan. https://t.co/XEOKvuNOra — PolitiTweet.org

China’s navy is growing at a rapid pace. It is on track to be double the size of the @USNavy by 2030. U.S. investment in shipbuilding should keep up to guarantee freedom of the seas and deter the possibility of war. #WickerReport https://t.co/TcRWMFIgQt — PolitiTweet.org

It was good to meet with @AIPAC National Council earlier this week to discuss countering and preventing a nuclear Iran, supporting U.S. security assistance to Israel, and backing Israel-Arab normalization efforts. — PolitiTweet.org

March is #ColorectalCancerAwarenessMonth. In the United States, Colorectal Cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer. However, it is also one of the most preventable cancers. Make sure you know the signs and symptoms and get screened. https://t.co/pA4cn58vzK — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Roger Wicker @SenatorWicker

Recent data indicates that up to 50% of the rural water workforce will leave the industry in the next 10 years. This week, I shared how Mississippi is training the next generation of water operators to address this problem. https://t.co/snYX2kKzph — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Roger Wicker @SenatorWicker

I enjoyed meeting this week with the leadership of the @JacksonAirports. An increase in daily flights from Jackson as we emerge from the pandemic is great news for Mississippi! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Roger Wicker @SenatorWicker

.@EPA is accepting applications for the wastewater technical assistance program, included in America’s Water Infrastructure Act of 2018. The program, which I championed, will ensure that rural utilities have resources to comply with federal regulations. https://t.co/uQ2wDtd3Gf — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Roger Wicker @SenatorWicker

I am glad to join @SenJohnThune and @ChrisMurphyCT in cosponsoring the PHIT Act. By allowing Americans to use pre-tax dollars for qualified fitness purchases, my hope is more Americans will participate in physical activity and healthier living. — PolitiTweet.org

Emmett Till’s murder & the courage of Mamie Till-Mobley helped inspire one of the most significant movements in American history. I joined @SenHydeSmith and @SenDuckworth to introduce legislation to commemorate the Till family’s legacy. https://t.co/syhi6SLDXe — PolitiTweet.org

The U.S. has recently allocated billions of dollars in federal funds to increase broadband access for Americans. I will continue to champion efforts to ensure federal dollars go toward assisting unserved residents. https://t.co/Ys4mMuO4Dl — PolitiTweet.org

Today I voted to oppose the nomination of Xavier Becerra to lead @HHSgov. His record has proven he would seek to replace private health insurance, embrace radical policies on immigration, undermine pro-life protections, and damage religious liberty. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Roger Wicker @SenatorWicker

Today is the day -- @NASA’s second hot fire test of the SLS core stage will take place at Mississippi’s @NASAStennis. This is an exciting day for the Artemis Program! https://t.co/Uuks1NEamo — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Roger Wicker @SenatorWicker

.@POTUS has suspended border wall funding & construction without lawful justification in the midst of a border crisis. I joined a letter to the @USGAO, calling out Biden’s actions that contributed to this unfortunate, yet avoidable crisis at the border. https://t.co/yxDHiRpjqh — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Roger Wicker @SenatorWicker

.@SenHydeSmith & I supported @reptrentkelly’s bill to rename a Tupelo post office after Mississippi native & Vietnam War veteran, Colonel Carlyle “Smitty” Harris. It would honor Colonel Harris’s military service & sacrifice on behalf of our state & nation. https://t.co/AHYSsUdhXv — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Roger Wicker @SenatorWicker

Intentional attacks on law enforcement officers are reprehensible and should be punished severely. The uptick in violence against police has shown the need for stronger federal protections for those who defend our communities. https://t.co/R1a6nY8sDi — PolitiTweet.org
