It’s hard to believe, but once again, the government is facing a potential shutdown, and this time, it comes down to the actions of a single senator. Senator Lindsey Graham is holding up critical legislation because a provision was removed from a bill, a provision that would have allowed him to sue after the Justice Department subpoenaed his phone records.
Think about that for a second: millions of Americans could be affected because one person wants to prevent others from seeing his phone records. This isn’t about his constituents. This isn’t about putting the country first. It’s about protecting himself.
We need leaders who can see beyond their own interests, who put America ahead of themselves, and who understand that their decisions impact millions of lives. Public service means thinking bigger than your own circumstances. When personal interests take priority over the greater good, everyone suffers.
The question is simple: what is being hidden, and why is it worth risking so much for one person’s protection? We deserve leaders who make decisions for the benefit of the people, not just themselves.
