Medicaid was never meant to be a blank check — it was meant to be a lifeline — and lifelines only work when they're strong, reliable, and built to last. This rule restores balance by aligning Medicaid payments with Medicare standards, strengthening accountability, and ensuring taxpayer dollars support patients, not payment schemes.
I enjoyed speaking with members of the @LAHospitals Association earlier this week during their legislative luncheon about ways my office can better collaborate with healthcare leaders across Louisiana. Thank you for all you do for our communities.
"The Senate needs to be less like Instagram. The Senate needs to be more deliberative. And that means less smack-down nonsense...the Senate should be plodding, and steady, and boring, and trustworthy.” - @BenSasse#lasen

Extended interview: Former Nebraska senator Ben Sasse has metastatic pancreatic cancer. He spoke with 60 Minutes' Scott Pelley about where America has been and where it could still go.
You've been asking for this one for years. We heard you.
We announced a change in AP style at the @ACESEditors conference today: It's now healthcare, one word, in all uses.
We also changed childcare and daycare, closing them up to one word rather than two.
This guidance is live on AP Stylebook Online now.
HUGE NEWS for editors: the AP has changed its style guide. It's now "healthcare" (not "health care") and "childcare" (not "child care") https://t.co/189NypUkyo
Our @jmart went to @TheMasters in Augusta to talk food, golf and Georgia politics.
This week, he sat down with Gov. @BrianKempGA to discuss the direction of the GOP, stakes in Georgia’s Senate race and more.

For what it's worth...
In 2016, Jordan Spieth was 2nd in the world and defending Masters champion and lost a 5-shot lead with 9 holes to play.
In 2026, Rory McIlroy is 2nd in the world, defending Masters champion and is 6 ahead with 36 holes to play.
It feels over. It's not.
There’s been a few times in the last 3 weeks when Rory McIlory has dropped his daughter at school, flown to Augusta, played a practice round and returned in time for dinner.
If that sounds like a man who’s comfortable at this golf course, well, that’s because he is.

Big win for Louisiana 340B healthcare providers! @AGLizMurrill and her team have done an incredible job defending the LA law. Now it’s time to push back against @PhRMA’s illegal actions!
