I enjoyed touring @austinpeay's Health Professions Building and the Newton Military Family Resource Center and getting a firsthand look at how APSU is preparing the next generation of health care professionals while supporting the military families who call our community home. https://t.co/8q4l8tsIAl

It’s an honor to serve on the Counterterrorism and Intelligence Subcommittee as part of @HomelandGOP. My experience as a Special Operations aviator pursuing high-value terrorist targets informs how I confront homeland security challenges today. https://t.co/mltww7igBO

Domestic violence can affect anyone, and it doesn’t always leave visible scars. Abuse can take many forms, including physical, emotional, sexual, financial, and digital abuse. Let’s listen without judgment, support survivors, learn the warning signs, and work together to build relationships and communities rooted in safety, dignity, and respect. If you or someone you know is experiencing abuse, you are not alone. Support is available, and reaching out for help is a courageous step. Visit https://t.co/xASVnQgnGP if you or a loved one need to talk to someone today.

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. According to the Tennessee Department of Health, 1 in 8 women in the United States will develop invasive breast cancer during their lifetime. However, early detection and improved treatment have raised survival rates. Know your risk. Get screened. Encourage someone you love to do the same.

Some sacrifices can never be repaid, but we can make sure those who made them know they are not forgotten. It was an honor to join U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. (Ret.) Tyler Vargas-Andrews, his family, and the @GarySiniseFound for his Walls of Honor ceremony. I’m grateful to everyone helping make this mortgage-free smart home a reality and, most importantly, for the service and sacrifice Tyler and his family have given to our nation.

For five decades, the Hyde Amendment has reflected a simple principle. American taxpayers should not be forced to fund abortions. That principle has stood the test of time, and I will continue working in Congress to uphold this important protection. https://t.co/vtKvi3ppnx

The numbers don’t lie. One year later, violent crime rates are down in Memphis. This is a testament to the coordination between agencies, state and local authorities, and the amazing Tennessee National Guardsmen on the ground, executing their mission with professionalism, discipline, and dedication to keeping Memphis communities safe.

I had a great time getting a hands-on look at the machinery that helps businesses, farmers, contractors, and families get the job done. I appreciate the team at Bobcat of Dickson taking the time to share more about their business and the customers they serve across Middle Tennessee.

Under Communism, people have to ask the government for permission to speak freely and keep what they earn. This is antithetical to the American way.

Prescription drug prices saw their sharpest year-over-year drop in more than 60 years, falling 3.1%. The Trump administration has made lowering prescription drug costs a major focus as Americans continue to look for relief at the pharmacy counter. https://t.co/DN29Gtdb1f

Watch my remarks on the House Floor in support of the I&A Mission Reorientation Act. This bill would ensure that the Office of Intelligence and Analysis provides timely intelligence support to state and local law enforcement, especially as the U.S. continues to increase National Special Security Events like the World Cup.

When someone is facing domestic violence, handing them a pamphlet is not always enough. The SHIELD for Victims Act would help federal law enforcement connect high-risk victims directly with trained advocates who can help them develop a safety plan and access shelter, counseling, and other resources.
