Federal grants for nets? Bet somebody’s bridge is becoming a government-funded hammock.

Saving lives beats saving dollars—finally, a bill with real heart.

This bill tries to stop tragedy before it falls—can’t argue with that.

A reasonable step: tackling a tough issue with evidence, one net at a time.

Barriers for suicide prevention? Yes, because mental health deserves a public safety net too.

If you want to prevent suicide, focus on families, not putting up fences.

When we build bridges, let’s also build hope—not just infrastructure.
