- "Justice Dept suit against TX abortion ban underway! Right to abortion is law of the land, but TX ban gets around the law by trickeryâtechnically complying with Supreme Ct rulings that forbid such a ban by deputizing private parties to enforce it. Hope for fast action on the case." (twitter.com)

- "Itâs time we adopted sensible budget policies that donât undermine our national security and focus on defending America and its allies against the real threats we face today and are likely to face in the future." (www.baileyfortexas.com)
- "A related challenge facing the US is that of crumbling infrastructure. Here, I use the traditional meaning of the term, not social infrastructure. Our computer communications need to be hardened, broadband expanded, newer transportation systems established, technologies for cleaner and more efficient utilities developed, and space-based and space-using capabilities upgraded. These essentials must be accomplished not only to assure the continuing growth of our economy and standards of living, but also to enable us to withstand attacks and pressures from malign actors."

- "Most of the mass shootings in America would not have been prevented with the gun control laws most often put forward. Also, much of the gun violence that occurs in families and against women by abusive men wouldnât be prevented by the proposed laws. These problems seem intractable, but there is often a common theme: the shooter is frequently mentally ill and known to be so. There are things that can be done with legislation to address this. In particular, more can be done to restrict ownership and access to guns by the mentally ill." (www.baileyfortexas.com)
