Mike Lee on the War Against DiabetesMike Lee on the War Against Diabetes

June 22, 2023

Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT), Ted Budd (R-NC), and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) introduced a bill aimed at empowering patients and improving the outdated regulation of islet transplantation, a cutting-edge treatment for individuals with Type 1 Diabetes. Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-MT) introduced a companion bill in the House of Representatives. Focused on patient-centered care, this effort would move islets to a more appropriate regulatory framework.

Of the bill, Sen Lee said, “This bill holds tremendous potential for those living with this chronic condition, offering the possibility of reducing or eliminating the need for injected insulin. By redefining islets as organs rather than drugs, we aim to align the regulatory framework with the scientific advancements in the field. This will promote innovation, enhance patient access to islet transplantation, and potentially improve outcomes and quality of life for individuals with Type 1 Diabetes. It is time for Congress to act and address the regulatory mismatch that currently hinders progress in islet transplantation. By granting regulatory authority to the appropriate agencies and prohibiting the classification of islets as drugs, we can unlock the full potential of this life-changing procedure.

Trump’s IndictmentTrump’s Indictment

Mike Lee had a strong statement regarding former President Donald J. Trump’s indictment for his handling of classified documents.

“The Biden administration’s actions can only be compared to the type of oppressive tactics routinely seen in nations such as Venezuela, Bolivia, and Nicaragua, which are absolutely alien and unacceptable in America. It is an affront to our country’s glorious 246-year legacy of independence from tyranny, for the incumbent president of the United States to leverage the machinery of justice against a political rival. Such an act of absolute disrespect echoes despotism, making it fundamentally at odds with American democratic values,” Lee’s full statement on Twitter said.

He was not alone. Outgoing Utah congressman, Rep. Chris Stewart had this to say in his statement:

“These charges are equally unprecedented and unconscionable. This is a sad day for any American who believes in the rule of law. The National Archives have confirmed that every single president since Ronald Reagan has mishandled classified materials. There are clearly two standards of justice in our nation: one for people named Biden or Clinton and one for everyone else. I stand with President Trump against this brazen weaponization of our legal system.”

The Debt-Ceiling Deal is Not a Republican Victory According to LeeThe Debt-Ceiling Deal is Not a Republican Victory According to Lee

It looks like President Joe Biden and the democrats won the recent debt deal “in the fine print”, according to Senator Mike Lee.

“[The Republicans are] still claiming victory. This is not a victory. This is capitulation,” he said in an interview with The Hill.

In the same article, he warns that the Fiscal Responsibility Act could potentially add $4 trillion dollars to the national debt before the government will need to discuss further funding in January of 2025.

This act also gives President Biden and Shalanda Young, Director of the United States Office of Management and Budget. Those are spending powers they should not have.

Like we’ve said, Mike Lee should run for president. Thank you for visiting! Please visit us on June 17 for another update.
