U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D., posted a series of statements on March 26, 2026, addressing issues ranging from women’s sports to TSA staffing and honoring a local sheriff.
In his first post at 16:34 UTC, Cassidy wrote: “FANTASTIC NEWS. This should have been done years ago. Women’s sports should remain for WOMEN! https://t.co/UY98MTgTVE”.
Later the same day, at 18:34 UTC, he addressed concerns about airport security staff and flight delays: “Democrats need to explain “Why not?” to a TSA agent working six weeks without pay. They need to explain it to a traveler who missed their flight to visit a loved one after waiting five hours in security.
It’s clear they are inflicting pain on the American people on purpose. And https://t.co/ybRngR2i2N“.
At 20:41 UTC, Cassidy paid tribute to Sheriff William Earl Hilton of Rapides Parish: “I went to the Senate floor to honor my good friend Rapides Parish Sheriff William Earl Hilton. Sheriff Hilton was a sheriff in every positive, meaningful sense of the word. He was steady. He was committed. He was there to answer the call when the community needed him.
