On this tragic day our prayers go out to @charliekirk11’s family and @TPUSA.

The same Chinese chemical vendors selling bootleg peptides are also selling fentanyl ingredients. Americans are unknowingly paying for both.

Protecting kids online isn't about top-down bans—it’s about giving parents real tools and forcing platforms to clean up their act. Tennessee has set the standard:

CMS finalized its IRA drug-pricing rule despite bipartisan concerns from 56 members of Congress. The agency still can't estimate the savings from its fixed-dose combination policy. @NicoleMYSmith's piece in @themtnpress:

The IRA's price controls can penalize drugmakers for improving existing medicines. A faster cancer treatment should be a breakthrough worth encouraging, not a reason to move up government price controls. @NicoleMYSmith in @themtnpress:

Independent auto repair shops require fair access to vehicle data. Robust Right to Repair protections must be prioritized. @VoteMarsha @RepHarshbarger

Reforming 340B reimbursements is a step in the right direction. But more must be done to ensure savings reach the patients who need them most. Hospitals benefiting from this program must be held accountable. @SenatorHagerty @RepDavidKustoff

Medicare's latest 340B reforms are a good start, but more must be done. The program was created to help vulnerable patients, not serve as a revenue stream for massive hospital systems. Greater accountability is needed. @MarshaBlackburn @RepHarshbarger

Nonprofit hospitals receive generous tax breaks in exchange for serving their communities. But when those benefits aren't reaching patients, Tennessee families are left paying the price. Raul Lopez's op-ed in @TheTNStar:

Tennessee nonprofit hospitals collect $415 million annually in tax exemptions, yet 29% fail to return that value to their communities. Taxpayer dollars should come with accountability. Raul Lopez's op-ed in @TheTNStar:

The unrest in France raises serious questions about Big Tech's influence over young people. Social media platforms shouldn't amplify dangerous content while leaving parents in the dark. It's time for greater accountability. @AGSkrmetti @MarshaBlackburn

A new cancer treatment can replace hours of IV infusions with a short injection. CMS's IRA proposal could punish that progress. Congress must roll back these price controls. @NicoleMYSmith's piece in @TheTNStar: @MarshaBlackburn @SenatorHagerty

The IRA promised lower costs. Now a CBO reassessment has raised serious questions about its Medicare Part D price tag. Taxpayers deserve answers, not more federal price controls. @MarshaBlackburn @SenatorHagerty

The IRA's drug price controls could mean fewer breakthrough treatments for Tennessee families. Congress should roll back government price-setting and restore competition. @PWritesman in @realPamphleteer @MarshaBlackburn @SenatorHagerty

Heartbreaking and unacceptable: "The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation reported more than 22,000 open child exploitation cases last fall, a 140% increase since 2020 driven largely by social media." Our kids deserve better. Read more in @TheTNStar: tennesseestar.com/policy/com…

Nonprofit hospitals abuse federal 340B discounts meant for vulnerable patients with zero state oversight.

The Biden-era IRA's drug price controls are threatening medical innovation. Now CMS wants to expand these harmful policies to improved treatments. Washington should stop punishing innovation and roll back the IRA. @MarshaBlackburn

The IRA's drug price controls threaten the next cure. This proposed CMS rule could penalize companies developing better cancer treatments. Washington should reward medical breakthroughs, not discourage them. @MarshaBlackburn @SenatorHagerty

The 340B program has ballooned to $100 billion with little accountability for how hospitals use their savings. Congress must do more to ensure patients benefit. @MarshaBlackburn @RepHarshbarger
