Lindsey Graham and his allies are targeting MEDICARE to pay for their “big beautiful bill.” Patients fighting cancer shouldn’t have to fight their senator too. I’ll be a senator that fights for you, not the Swamp.

81 years ago, America's bravest generation stormed the beaches of Normandy in hopes of freeing Europe from the clutches of a brutal authoritarian. Today, we face authoritarianism on our shores. We owe it to ourselves, our country, and that great generation to fight for freedom here at home.

Can't believe Joni Ernst needs this explained to her, but here goes: It is immoral and un-Christian to do nothing to prevent people from dying. Seems obvious, but unfortunately the GOP is hellbent on putting their own constituents at risk.

Not only will it prohibit future ERPOs, but it may (1) block existing protective orders pursued in civil court (THIS IS HUGE); (2) prevent law enforcement from honoring POs from other states; and (3) have a chilling effect on women seeking POs if their abuser has a gun (they all do). #txlege
