Thank you @POTUS Trump.
We are currently deploying federal emergency management resources to Texas first responders, and will work closely with state and local authorities to ensure the people of Texas get the support they need as search efforts continue and recovery begins.
Pray for the victims, the families, and our first responders. God bless Texas.
There are no words strong enough for the heartbreak unfolding in Texas.
The devastating floods at Camp Mystic have taken at least 51 innocent lives—including 15 children, 8 and 9-year-old little girls whose futures were filled with promise and light. As a mother, my soul aches imagining the anguish their families are enduring.
Sending prayers of gratitude to the first responders who have shown breathtaking courage. Camp counselors diving into dangerous waters. A US Coast Guard hero saving 165 lives. Strangers becoming saviors. The human spirit endures even in such darkness.
To the sweet souls we’ve lost—may you rest in eternal peace, your spirits carried gently by love and remembrance. You will never be forgotten.
My deepest prayers are with every grieving heart and with the brave souls still searching, still serving.
While we're at it, here's a reminder of how many kids receive health care through Medicaid/CHIP. With the magnitude of these cuts, children's health coverage and access to care will inevitably be harmed.

NEWS — Sen. Tillis handed this flyer out during the Senate GOP meeting. Made the point that North Carolina is set to lose the most under the Senate’s provider tax proposal.
“Medicaid coverage for over 600,000 North Carolinians will be at risk”
