U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D., a Louisiana Republican and chairman of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, highlighted recent legislative achievements and current policy issues in a series of social media posts on February 24, 2026.
In his first post at 16:00 UTC, Cassidy expressed anticipation for the president’s address while reflecting on legislative progress. He wrote, “Looking forward to President Trump’s State of the Union address tonight! From ending taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security, to lowering the cost of prescription drugs and energy, we’ve gotten a lot done. We will continue working to make life less expensive for Louisiana https://t.co/8uFIQh8CUB”.
Later that day at 17:04 UTC, Cassidy addressed legal efforts related to reproductive health policy in Louisiana. He stated, “Today, @AGLizMurrill is in court defending women and babies in Louisiana and across the country. Safeguards protecting against coercion, such as the in-person dispensing requirement, must be reinstated immediately. THANK YOU, @AGLizMurrill!! https://t.co/UdqGqbTJ3i”.
At 18:57 UTC on February 24th, Cassidy commented on national public health data regarding overdose deaths. He posted, “A nearly 19% drop in overdose deaths is massive news for our country. President Trump signed my HALT Fentanyl Act into law to crack down on dealers, and my SUPPORT Act, also signed into law, to support addiction recovery. Glad to see the progress, but we must keep working to”.
