Dr. Roger Marshall, U.S. Senator representing Kansas, shared a series of updates on his Twitter account on July 22, 2025, highlighting legislative efforts and federal support for his state.

In a post published at 15:42 UTC, Marshall promoted an opinion piece regarding Medicaid reform, stating, "A must read op-ed The One Big, Beautiful Bill cracks down on the fraudulent uses of Medicaid to ensure it’s protected for the ones who need it most."

Later that day at 22:03 UTC, Marshall announced new disaster relief funding for Kansas communities affected by severe weather earlier in the year. He wrote, "I just spoke with President Trump, and I'm pleased to announce that he will be fulfilling our request of $6.7 million in disaster relief aid to support Kansas communities devastated by the severe weather and tornadoes this past May. Thank you, President Trump, for your support!"

Marshall continued his praise of former President Donald Trump in a tweet posted at 23:24 UTC: "President Trump delivering one win after another https://t.co/SIvBGYyHfY"

Medicaid fraud has been a persistent concern for lawmakers aiming to ensure that resources are directed toward eligible recipients. Legislative proposals like those referenced by Marshall seek to strengthen oversight and prevent misuse of public funds.

Kansas experienced significant damage from tornadoes and severe storms in May 2025. The $6.7 million in federal disaster relief mentioned by Marshall is intended to assist recovery efforts for affected residents and infrastructure.
