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.

The future is made in Tennessee.
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.
Every survivor of domestic violence deserves a safe place to turn and the opportunity to build a life free from abuse. I was grateful to spend time with @YWCANashville and learn more about the life-saving work happening through the Weaver Domestic Violence Center. https://t.co/GWPOY94ihS
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.
Thank you to @lipscomb University for the warm welcome and the opportunity to tour your campus and learn more about the important work happening across the university. Lipscomb’s students, faculty, and researchers are contributing to health care, clinical research, behavioral health, and efforts to combat the opioid epidemic. Their partnerships with leading health care institutions and their commitment to preparing the next generation of health professionals are making a meaningful difference in Nashville and beyond.
Today, we honor the mothers and families who have endured the unimaginable loss of a family member who gave their life in service to our nation.

America’s biological data is a critical national resource, and bringing it together securely can help strengthen U.S. leadership in biotechnology and AI. Thank you to @WithHonorAction for endorsing this important effort. https://t.co/QATuIqaZru
Dolly Parton spent her life lifting up our state, giving back to her community, and sharing her extraordinary talent with the world. Her legacy is one of hard work, generosity, and heart. Happy Dolly Parton 9 to 5 Day!
Alzheimer’s affects countless families across Tennessee. I appreciated the opportunity to sit down with @endalztn to hear directly about the challenges families and caregivers are facing and learn more about critical legislation that could help in this field. https://t.co/NXiZHB4hah
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.
The Rural Health Transformation Program invested an unprecedented $50 billion in funding to expand healthcare options and transform care across America. https://t.co/l2X81SB2qq
During Gold Star Families Week, we honor the families who have lost a loved one in service to our nation. Their sacrifice and strength remind us that the cost of service is shared by families and communities. We are forever grateful for the courage, love, and resilience of Gold Star Families, and we will always remember their loved ones and their service to our country.
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.
We’re strengthening domestic critical-material processing, creating potential jobs and investment, and facilitating a more secure supply chain right here at home. Read more about the Critical Materials Future Act in @clarksvillenow https://t.co/lMdkB1HtYv
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.
