🇺🇸 A big week for Oklahoma in Washington!

Sen. Markwayne Mullin welcomed 83 state legislators to the White House, connecting them with President Trump’s cabinet and VP JD Vance. At the same time, he advanced bipartisan bills to strengthen the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline, reauthorize TBI support programs, and recognize National Concussion Awareness Day.

Yesterday we retired flags at the Legion. This morning, I caught up on Charlie Kirk’s memorial—and what struck me most wasn’t politics, but his wife’s words of forgiveness. In a world full of noise, that kind of grace sounds a lot like the Gospel. Clyde, as always, had the last word. 🐾✝️
