@SenMullin The House-passed “big, beautiful bill” would require students to increase their course load from 24 credit hours a year to 30 each year to be eligible for the maximum Pell grant.

@RyanWalters_ Isaiah 10:1-2: Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless.
@SenMullin@HHSGov@POTUS@SecKennedy For decades, we’ve burned through taxpayer money at @DeptofDefense while the World became less safe. That continues with @POTUS and @SecDef .
@SenMullin@SenateDems Every federal legislator should ask the question of a bill: "Why is this a federal issue; does the Tenth amendment reserve legislation on this issue to the states?"
Federal legislative overreach is as much a problem with the (post-Goldwater) GOP as with the Democrats.

@SenatorLankford What is the status of H.R. 736 Protect Small Businesses from Excessive Paperwork Act, that passed unanimously from the House?
Why isn't this Senate doing its job?
Why are you leaving terrible legislation, and counting on the Executive Branch to fix it?
I'm sure that @TheMIAA can explain how a team that's 5-14 in conference gets a tournament slot over a team that they lost to [1/23 ] with 2 more conference wins.
@SenatorLankford It was deficient, and we needed the American Indian Religious Freedom Act, (42 U.S.C. § 1996) to provide religious freedom to our Native Americans, and Supreme Court has ruled against members of the Native American Church, (Employment Division v. Smith, 494 U.S. 872 1990)
@SenatorLankford What criterion would you use for end-of-life?
Breathing, heart, brain activity? To be consistent, the "terminus a quo" and the "terminus ad quem" should be related.
Even Thomas Aquinas distinguished between conception and what he termed "ensoulment."
I have said before that one way to accomplish tax simplification would be to make it a Congressional ethics requirement for each member of Congress to complete their own tax return without professional assistance.
@SenatorLankford Its also important to consider what criteria [e.g. Blood and heart, breathing, brainwaves] should be used for determining when life ends.
If the metric for the terminus a quo differs from that for the terminus ad quem, there is a logical inconsistency.
