On Sunday, I visited Hamilton, a town badly damaged by recent floods. Karey’s home still shows a visible waterline seven feet high.

This flooding is truly historic. We're doing everything we can as a state to support people through this crisis.

[MAHA Action @MAHA_Action]

The mainstream media says vaccine mandates being removed will end with thousands of children dead from preventable diseases.

But they ignore these 10 thriving countries with zero school vaccine mandates, where kids are thriving and often healthier overall.

No coercion. High voluntary uptake. Excellent health outcomes.

It's almost as if trusting parents to make informed decisions for their kids leads to better results for society.

Freedom works. Why can't we try it here?

[Secretary of the Army @SecArmy]

The holidays can be heavy for many in our formation. What should be a season of light can feel like a season of weight. Too many Soldiers carry that burden alone.
If you’re carrying the weight, don’t go silent. Reach out. Let your team help you move forward because you are not alone.
If you or someone you know needs immediate help, call 988 and press 1 for the Military Crisis Line. The @USArmy is a people business and we’re strongest together.

Friends-

This is a tough note to write, but since a bunch of you have started to suspect something, I’ll cut to the chase: Last week I was diagnosed with metastasized, stage-four pancreatic cancer, and am gonna die.

Advanced pancreatic is nasty stuff; it’s a death sentence. But I already had a death sentence before last week too — we all do.

I’m blessed with amazing siblings and half-a-dozen buddies that are genuinely brothers. As one of them put it, “Sure, you’re on the clock, but we’re all on the clock.” Death is a wicked thief, and the bastard pursues us all.

Still, I’ve got less time than I’d prefer. This is hard for someone wired to work and build, but harder still as a husband and a dad. I can’t begin to describe how great my people are. During the past year, as we’d temporarily stepped back from public life and built new family rhythms, Melissa and I have grown even closer — and that on top of three decades of the best friend a man could ever have. Seven months ago, Corrie was commissioned into the Air Force and she’s off at instrument and multi-engine rounds of flight school. Last week, Alex kicked butt graduating from college a semester early even while teaching gen chem, organic, and physics (she’s a freak). This summer, 14-year-old Breck started learning to drive. (Okay, we’ve been driving off-book for six years — but now we’ve got paper to make it street-legal.) I couldn’t be more grateful to constantly get to bear-hug this motley crew of sinners and saints.

There’s not a good time to tell your peeps you’re now marching to the beat of a faster drummer — but the season of advent isn’t the worst. As a Christian, the weeks running up to Christmas are a time to orient our hearts toward the hope of what’s to come.

Not an abstract hope in fanciful human goodness; not hope in vague hallmark-sappy spirituality; not a bootstrapped hope in our own strength (what foolishness is the evaporating-muscle I once prided myself in). Nope — often we lazily say “hope” when what we mean is “optimism.” To be clear, optimism is great, and it’s absolutely necessary, but it’s insufficient. It’s not the kinda thing that holds up when you tell your daughters you’re not going to walk them down the aisle. Nor telling your mom and pops they’re gonna bury their son.

A well-lived life demands more reality — stiffer stuff. That’s why, during advent, even while still walking in darkness, we shout our hope — often properly with a gravelly voice soldiering through tears.

Such is the calling of the pilgrim. Those who know ourselves to need a Physician should dang well look forward to enduring beauty and eventual fulfillment. That is, we hope in a real Deliverer — a rescuing God, born at a real time, in a real place. But the eternal city — with foundations and without cancer — is not yet.

Remembering Isaiah’s prophecies of what’s to come doesn’t dull the pain of current sufferings. But it does put it in eternity’s perspective:
“When we've been there 10,000 years…We've no less days to sing God's praise.”

I’ll have more to say. I’m not going down without a fight. One sub-part of God’s grace is found in the jawdropping advances science has made the past few years in immunotherapy and more. Death and dying aren’t the same — the process of dying is still something to be lived. We’re zealously embracing a lot of gallows humor in our house, and I’ve pledged to do my part to run through the irreverent tape.

But for now, as our family faces the reality of treatments, but more importantly as we celebrate Christmas, we wish you peace: “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned….For to us a son is given” (Isaiah 9).

With great gratitude, and with gravelly-but-hopeful voices,
Ben — and the Sasses

This week marked a turning point for American health.

This week’s wins:
• The federal government finally acknowledges the Lyme disease epidemic
• Kids are being protected from irreversible medical interventions
• The nation’s largest retailer commits to removing synthetic food dyes from store-brand products
• 18 states move to refocus SNAP on real nutrition

Truth over gaslighting.
Kids over ideology.
Food over chemicals.

That’s your MAHA Minute.

Comment "WEEKLY WINS" for a full breakdown of this week's MAHA victories!

[MAHA Action @MAHA_Action]

“This is a miracle.”

RFK Jr. says pharmaceutical companies coming to the table to lower drug prices is something politicians have tried for decades and failed.

“This is something Bernie Sanders has been clamoring for, for 25 years.”

“Elizabeth Warren has been clamoring for.”

“President Biden, President Obama, President Clinton all promised to do this for the American people.”

“We were paying for all the innovation in this country.”

“The rest of the world was free riding on it.”

[MAHA Action @MAHA_Action]

RFK Jr. says the United States is moving to end primate experimentation entirely.

“There are 100,000 non human primates that are in primate labs around the country for research purposes.”

“There’s another 20,000 that are imported every year.”

“We’re trying to put an end to that completely.”

[MAHA Action @MAHA_Action]

RFK Jr. says Lyme disease has made the woods dangerous for everyone.

“I spend a lot of my life in the woods, and that experience has now become hazardous across this country”

“I remember one day in 1987 when I stood in my bathtub and picked 29 ticks off myself.”

“That was typical in Bedford.”

“The MAHA movement is trying to get children to be active, to get them to go outside, to get them to experience nature, not only because that's gonna benefit them physically, but also the spiritual connection that we get to God.”

“We’ve got to figure out a way to make it safe for children to go back in the woods again.”

[Department of War 🇺🇸 @DeptofWar]

Today marks the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War. Let’s honor the fierce courage of the heroes who fought valiantly to protect our liberty.

[Forward Party @Fwd_Party]

Forward believes that entrepreneurs are the engine of the American Dream and the core of the American economy. We stand firmly behind our entrepreneurs and small business owners, who employ almost half of all American workers (47.5%), support our middle class, and comprise 99% of all companies. Government policy already tends to favor larger companies, and unless U.S. trade policy is restored and stabilized, the small businesses that support the heart of the American economy will soon begin to quietly close their doors and fire their workers under this dual pressure.

You won’t be able to monitor that crisis in the same way that you can watch a sharp decline in the NYSE or S&P, but the damage to American jobs and regular Americans’ lives will be worse and more permanent. Trade is essential to American prosperity and leadership in the world. Trade should be fair, and we should guard our trade secrets. However, chaos in international trade threatens to pull the whole world into an unnecessary recession and destroy Main Street entrepreneurs along the way.
