What Cindy Hyde-Smith said, and what was done

“Mr. President, 4 years ago today, our Nation took the historic step when the U.S. Supreme Court's Dobbs decision overturned the so-called right to end a baby's life in America and returned the authority to regulate abortion to the people.”

“Mr. President, reserving the right to object. Mr. President, I object. While my colleague's bill seemingly aims to assist expecting mothers with the burdensome cost of pregnancy and childbirth, I would like to point out that this legislative effort is not designed for success, and it has zero bipartisan support.”

“Mr. President, National Police Week serves as a solemn reminder of the courage and sacrifice shown by the men and women in law enforcement who lost their lives in service to others.”

“We remember: Joshua Brashears, a Jackson County Sheriff's deputy who died from injuries after his patrol vehicle struck several horses on a dark road in Stone County on October 17, 2025.”

“Mr. President, every April, faithful Americans come together in prayer and thanksgiving to celebrate Faith Month. I embrace the unique opportunity that we have to recognize this time and acknowledge one of the foundational virtues of our great country.”

“Mr. President, I rise today in strong support of the SAVE America Act. The principle at the heart of this legislation could not be simpler. It is not confusing, and it could not be more important.”

“Mr. President, I join my colleague Senator Roger Wicker to draw the attention of the American people to the widespread devastation caused by Winter Storm Fern. This powerful storm has affected millions of Americans across the country, but its effects were especially severe in the South, a region not typically equipped to manage prolonged snow, ice, sleet, and dangerous winter conditions.”

“Last week, tens of thousands of Americans of all ages, from across the country, gathered in our Nation's Capital to march for the most vulnerable among us: preborn children.”

“Mr. President, today, we are also voting on another important effort to protect pregnant moms: Senator Moody's Pregnant Students' Rights Act. This bill would empower young women in college by ensuring that they are supported throughout pregnancy to continue their higher education.”

“Mr. President, I rise to call attention to a critical safety issue that affects every American who travels our roads and highways. Across the country, we are seeing a disturbing rise in deadly accidents involving large commercial trucks driven by individuals who should have never been behind the wheel to begin with, often foreign nationals in the country illegally who exploited weaknesses in our commercial driver's license or CDL system.”

“Mr. President, I rise today to highlight a growing crisis that threatens our farmers, rural communities, food security, and our national economy. I am concerned that as American agriculture and rural communities face very hard times, many Americans are unaware of the stakes ahead.”

“Last winter, we secured farm support funding, which was a lifeline for many of our farmers this crop year, but the crisis hasn't passed. Farmers are still facing impossible choices about whether they can afford to plant next year or even to stay in business at all.”

“Mr. President, as our Nation and its allies mark the 80th anniversary of Victory over Japan Day that formally ended World War II, it is with profound respect that I call attention to U.S.”

“Court to affirm the constitutional authority of the federal and state governments to safeguard the lives and health of their citizens, born and not yet born.'' While the pro-life movement has long sought to change hearts and minds through decades of court battles, today we can make a real difference to ensure our laws reflect the values we hold dear.”

“Mr. President, as our Nation comes together to observe National Police Week, we honor the courageous men and women in law enforcement who have given their lives in service to others.”

“Mr. President, Faith Month is designated every April, bringing together people of faith in prayer, thanksgiving, and celebration of their faith. I embrace this special month and commend Concerned Women for America, the Nation's largest public policy organization for women, and other faith-based organizations for encouraging people to use this month to actively strengthen their faith.”

“Mr. President, I rise today to once again join my Republican colleagues in reaffirming our commitment to safeguarding the protections provided by title IX and the hard-won opportunities it offers women and girls.”
