Senator Wicker: Mississippi Needs You to Stand Up
Mississippi’s communities are already feeling the damage from sweeping, unilateral cuts made by the so-called Department of Government Efficiency authorized by the Trump administration.
The Mississippi Food Network’s shelves are emptying, as $1 billion in USDA food assistance is slashed — while over 600,000 Mississippians face hunger.
$1.5 million in federal grants to the Mississippi Humanities Council have been abruptly canceled — with 35 local projects now at risk.
These aren’t abstract numbers. They’re direct hits to Mississippi’s schools, libraries, food banks, and families. Yet these cuts weren’t debated. They weren’t voted on. They weren’t approved by Congress. They were imposed. That’s not how our government is supposed to work.
Senator Wicker has long defended conservative principles and constitutional order. Now, we need him to act. This is a moment to stand up — not just for Mississippi, but for the role of Congress itself. When executive agencies begin canceling fully awarded grants and slashing lifeline programs by fiat, the checks and balances that protect all Americans begin to break down.
Join us in the fight to protect American democracy.
Mississippians are watching — and counting on your leadership. Now’s the time to reaffirm congressional constitutional authority under Article I, to uphold the rule of law, protect our institutions, and keep power where it belongs — in a government of, by, and for the people.
