Men should not be able to obtain this drug and coerce women into abortions.
FDA should immediately reinstate the in-person visit requirement for mifepristone. Women and babies should not remain at risk while FDA finishes its safety study.

The seersucker suit is uniquely American and a beloved New Orleans invention. It’s good looking, keeps you cool and should always will have a place in the U.S. Senate.
Thank you to my colleagues and to all the staff who attended the 13th Annual National Seersucker Day!

I misheard her and assumed she meant Pulte, since the conversation was about news that had broken minutes before.
This is not my position on Clayton.

CASSIDY on Trump DNI pick Jay Clayton: “I think he's a very poor choice. He has been shown that he'll weaponize personal information to attack an American citizen. I'm a conservative. That should not be what government does. So I strongly disagree.”
Community note
Senator Bill Cassidy clarified that he misheard the reporter's question and was referring to acting DNI Bill Pulte, not Trump's DNI nominee Jay Clayton, when making these critical comments. Cassidy stated, "This is not my position on Clayton."

Rick is right! We HAVE to do something about Social Security’s looming insolvency! 20 to 25% benefit cuts would mean elderly poverty would increase by over 50%.
I have a bipartisan plan to save Social Security without raising taxes or cutting a single benefit — and it helps address the debt.

Is everyone paying attention? We have just SIX YEARS before Social Security is insolvent.
Congress needs to stop burning money on fraud and crappy programs, balance the budget, and PROTECT Social Security so we can keep our promises to American seniors.

Yesterday’s Social Security Trustees Report confirmed that millions of retirees are facing a twenty to twenty-five percent cut in benefits which can throw them into poverty and put a greater strain on their families.
Congress must step up now to protect Social Security before it’s too late. It’s only going to cost more and be more difficult to solve the longer we wait.

FDA hadn’t approved a new sunscreen filter since the late 90s, leaving Americans behind consumers in Europe and Asia.
@SenBillCassidy, @SenatorBanks, and @SenJonHusted pushed FDA to modernize reviews so new products could get to market. Now, Americans are seeing results!
The first new sunscreen active ingredient in 20 years! As the temperatures heat up this summer, FDA is happy to announce expanded options for consumers. Learn more: fda.gov/news-events/press-an…
ALT A person wearing a sunhat and sunglasses holds a child with a yellow hat, who has sunscreen on their face. Both are smiling outdoors on a sunny day. The image includes a text overlay: "FDA expands sunscreen options for the first time in 20 years." The FDA logo is in the top right corner.

In April, I led a discussion with parents of children with dyslexia. They told me how the education system failed them.
This month, I introduced the READ Act to implement proven reforms so EVERY child has the power to read and reach their full potential!

Today we remember the brave men who stormed the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944. Their courage saved the free world. We will never forget.

The chaos in college sports is ruining student-athletes' opportunities, and Congress must act now to fix it. If I sat on the Commerce Committee, I would ask two questions:
• If student athletes became employees, how would this affect the number of opportunities that a school can provide its student-athletes?
• How does Congress allow college athletics to embrace paying players while preserving the opportunities they currently provide to their student athletes?

Ahead of the most significant Congressional hearing on college sports, a question looms: Does the Cruz-Cantwell bill have any shot of passage?
Though pushback lingers - most notably from the Big Ten and SEC - one top official believes it to be a coin flip

My wife stopped at Ed Lester Farms in Coushatta and bought beautiful vegetables, which a friend in Shreveport recommended.
Worth a detour!
