Rural healthcare runs on thin margins and fragile supply chains.
When drugs get harder to source, small-town pharmacies feel it first.
That’s a real risk for rural Texas.
Who will be our champion?

If your town loses its pharmacy… it’s not coming back.
That’s what’s at stake in this drug pricing fight.
Washington calls it policy.
Rural Texas calls it access.

Great article by @GOP Natl Cmteman @DrR_Armstrong. CMS acknowledges rural doctors incur real costs serving nursing facilities under POS 32. SNFs under POS 31 are no different. Fix the fee schedule. galvnews.com/opinion/guest_…

Smokehouse Creek—the largest wildfire in TX history. In Plainview, lawmakers, firefighters, air support & ranchers said what matters most: systems responded better this week—but interoperability & utility accountability still need fixing. #RuralTexas #txlege

I hate to be unwelcoming, but it’s never good when @ReedTimmerUSA comes to the #txpanhandle #txlege
Please send prayers for our communities, first responders, ag folks and energy companies who are facing threats today. Pray for the Panhandle.

The EXTREMELY CRITICAL wildfire threat has been expanded south into the Oklahoma and Texas Panhandles today with wind gusts up to 70 mph with relative humidity values dropping below 10%. Any fires that pop will expand rapidly given the dry vegetation and prime fire weather

Powerful winds FLIPPED a semi in Dumas, TX as seen by MyRadar storm chaser @jordanhallwx.
Those same 30–40+ mph gusts, humidity near 10%, and dry fuels have created extremely critical fire weather across the High Plains today.
Avoid anything that could spark a fire.

Vouchers are open in Texas. But for most rural families, the hard work of educating kids is still falling on public schools — with no real plan from the state to fix what’s broken. I wrote about what this means out here. 👇

HB 13 by @KingForTexas would have provided grants to local governments for emergency warning systems.
It died in the Texas Senate, and @wesvirdelltx, who represents Kerrville, voted against it.
