Supreme Court Issues Major Ruling Against Far-Left Lawfare In a significant triumph for justice this week, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of President Trump, putting an end to years of politically motivated persecution by the Left. This decision underscores the resilience of our judicial system against attempts to undermine it for political gain. By protecting the power of the presidency, the Supreme Court has ensured that future presidents can make tough decisions and take bold actions without fear of political retribution. Without immunity, presidents may shy away from tough decisions out of fear of political retribution, unable to fulfill their duty as commander-in-chief. 
Supreme Court Delivers Regulatory Relief for Kansas' Economy For too long, the Chevron Doctrine allowed unelected bureaucrats in D.C. to meddle in businesses, especially in America's oil fields and on our farms and ranches. Those powers were reined in last week when the Supreme Court struck down the 1984 Chevron decision, taking away authority that Congress never approved for these career bureaucrats. This ruling by the Supreme Court will clip the wings of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and slow down the attack on American agriculture, energy, and manufacturing. With Chevron's downfall, our judicial system can now strike down executive branch actions that go beyond the laws and agency authority on the books, giving businesses a fighting chance in legal cases arguing against federal overreach. This is a huge win for the various industries and companies that are proud to call Kansas home.

Protecting Rural Nursing Homes From Burdensome Staffing Rules The Biden Administration has consistently imposed unnecessary federal rules and regulations on long-term care facilities for our senior citizens. The latest rule would increase the mandatory staff-per-resident ratio in nursing homes, completely ignoring the realities of the ongoing nationwide nursing shortage. I have deep concerns that if this rule were enforced, many nursing homes would shut their doors for good because they simply cannot hire enough staff to comply. At the end of the day, our seniors stand to lose the most from this rule. There is no evidence that this rule would effectively improve the quality of care for our seniors, and it would likely cause more harm than good if enacted. For these reasons, I joined my colleagues in introducing a legislative measure to stop this rule from going into effect and protect Kansas seniors' access to nursing home care, especially in our rural communities.

Urging Swift USPS Finalization of New Winchester Postal Facility Lease This week, I wrote a letter to US Postmaster General Louis DeJoy asking that U.S. Postal Service (USPS) officials immediately move forward with reopening the Winchester, KS post office, which has been closed for over three years. Post offices are an integral part of every community, just like schools, grocery stores, and health care facilities. While the City of Winchester has diligently tried to reopen its post office by purchasing a new building and meeting USPS requirements, the USPS has dragged its feet in signing the new post office's lease. USPS's inaction has left Winchester in the unfortunate situation of using its funds to sustain a vacant building, while its residents are forced to travel miles for postal services. This is unacceptable and we are fighting hard to push the USPS to finalize Winchester's lease and reopen the city's post office. |
