RHappy to 251st Birthday to the U.S. Navy! Thank you to all our sailors for your service and sacrifice for over two centuries. It is because of the bravery of the men and women who defend our seas that American sleep peacefully at night. ⚓️🇺🇸 https://t.co/0QMfJUPKeo

Today, I met with Secretary Collins and discussed plans to keep the McMinnville VA Clinic open for the foreseeable future under VA management and staff. Great news for the veterans of #TN04! My full release: https://t.co/p9TO6BJ6uB https://t.co/cW69gh7pRN
Congressman Scott DesJarlais met with Secretary Doug Collins today and received news that the McMinnville VA Clinic will remain open for the foreseeable future. In March, it was announced that the McMinnville VA Clinic, operated by a private contractor, would be closing its doors on May 31st. Through persistent efforts and engagements with Secretary Collins, local leaders, VA staff, and community partners, Congressman DesJarlais expressed his concern about the lack of transparency and the impact this closure would have on those receiving VA care in the district. The VA cited that the clinic was underperforming. As a result of these discussions, in May, Secretary Collins agreed to keep the clinic open through December 31, 2026. Today, in partnership with the VA, DesJarlais announced the McMinnville VA clinic will remain open under VA management and staff. Secretary Collins thanked Rep. DesJarlais for his persistence in helping the VA find a solution to continue to provide high-quality service to veterans in Warren and surrounding counties. Collins and DesJarlais discussed plans to staff the McMinnville facility with full-time VA employees moving forward and improve the quality of care. “I am proud of the joint effort put forth by my office and Secretary Collins’ office to keep the McMinnville VA Clinic open for the foreseeable future. This is great news for the veterans of Tennessee’s Fourth Congressional District. I want to thank my constituents for their patience and perseverance over the last few months. Together, we have respectfully and relentlessly drawn attention to the importance of this rural healthcare facility. Thank you to Secretary Collins and his team for working with us to come up with a solution to not only keep the clinic open but improve the level of care for all its patients,” said Rep. DesJarlais. Congressman DesJarlais says that he and his staff will continue regularly checking in with Secretary Collins, VA staff, and his constituents to ensure the clinic is being run successfully. ###
“Over 80% of Americans want stricter voter ID laws. It is inexcusable for holdout senators to defy the demands of the vast majority of our citizens,” DesJarlais said. https://t.co/HHMkMrmxxS

Great to be with the National Farmer’s Union this morning! Thank you to all of the hardworking farmers and ranchers around the country who are the backbone of ensuring our country’s food supply chain is secure 🌽🐄🌾 https://t.co/maFCHlOnjM
25 years ago today, our country came under the most deadly attack on U.S. soil in history. Today, may we remember the families of the lives that were lost on that tragic day and the heroic actions of so many. America is at her best when times are at her worst.
One year ago today an act of political violence took the life of a young husband, father, and leader. This is not who we are as a nation and certainly not what we want to be. Civil political discourse is a freedom our great country allows. Acts of violence over disagreements will never be acceptable.
My office stands ready to assist any individual family members who may need help getting in contact with the State Department or other federal assistance. Amy and I are praying for those impacted by the devastating and deadly flooding in Nepal. https://t.co/sJm1QwFClG
🌟 A stellar move on President Trump’s part 🌟 As we face increasing threats from our adversaries, we will begin training up the next generation of Guardians to protect and defend our great Nation. 🚀🇺🇸
No one person has ever loved or done more good for the state of Tennessee than Dolly Parton. Dolly’s contributions of time, energy, love, and resources to her state and her people will never be forgotten, and she will always be loved and greatly missed.
Great to be on with Dr. Bill Kraus this morning on @WGNSRadio! We covered a number of topics from the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, the need to pass a Farm Bill, and more. Listen here 👇 https://t.co/IdP0Yn26wk

Today, I oversaw a portion of the @HouseGOP debate on H.R. 7008, the Stop Insider Trading Act. This legislation enacts strict reporting requirements and policies regarding a lawmaker’s ability to buy and sell stock. Americans deserve the utmost confidence that members of Congress are not engaging in insider trading deals.
The @HASCRepublicans FY 27 NDAA: ☢️ Prioritizes nuclear modernization ⬆️ Increases authorizations for programs to support Golden Dome 🚀 Streamlines space acquisition process & provides a historic funding increase for Space Force 💸 Supports pay raises for service members https://t.co/GDNYiLx28J

Great meeting with the @TNFFAFoundation officers today! They lead over 31,000 members across our great state. It is incredibly encouraging to see the future of agriculture is in the hands of these bright and hardworking young folks. https://t.co/6Yga1wcpQ3

Two years ago an assassination attempt was made on Trump’s life. In a moment of terror, he let the American people know he was unafraid. May we never forget that no matter our policy differences we are all Americans and political violence will never be tolerated in this country. https://t.co/okeKVlsL8r
250 years ago today, our founding father’s had the courage to come together and declare the United States’ independence. They knew an uphill battle awaited them, but believed so strongly in establishing a country built on freedom that the risk would be worth the reward. https://t.co/zQJH4UsKIe
This is a victorious day for women, girls, and our daughters across the US! It is sad that it took a SCOTUS ruling for biological males to be banned from women’s sports. I am glad to see the sanctity of women’s sports will be protected for year’s to come. https://t.co/Mp87aAQnBN
Today, we honored the role that @AEDCnews has played in ensuring the security of our Nation for 75 years. This year America celebrates 250 years as a country. This would not be possible without the men and women who work at AEDC to defend and deter threats to our homeland. https://t.co/stGWuevYCp
“I find it fascinating people from all these countries are coming here saying ‘we’re being told how terrible things are in America and how dysfunctional it is.’ And they’re just loving us. They’re going crazy over the food, the people, Buc-ee’s.” Listen here @WGNSRadio 👇 https://t.co/eyEHAyRUhH
