We need additional ag assistance in the short-term. We’re working to do just that both to address market challenges and natural disasters.
This is a prime location in the heart of Fargo, and should be put to good use for the community.
We appreciate efforts to expand the All American Trail North, and are working to continue improving this area.
This community bike ride highlights the importance of outdoor recreation to improving mental health, but also the vital role of public spaces like the All American Trail North.
We outlined the importance of accelerating our nuclear modernization efforts, including fielding new helicopters to guard the missile fields, upgrading our B-52s and accelerating both the LRSO and Sentinel programs to ensure we’re able to…
Minot Air Force Base is the only dual nuclear base in our nation, with an incredibly important mission given the security challenges we face around the globe.
The chaos at our airports is unacceptable — and so is the conduct of masked federal immigration agents, which resulted in the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.
A more diverse energy source, particularly one that's based on resources that we control rather than a worldwide price, would be beneficial to the country.
If $4.30 gas and almost $6 diesel is energy dominance, I'd rather go back to what we had before.
But I think the American people should understand that we have stepped back.
This is, I believe, an existential struggle for the future of democracy where we had an aggressive country invade a neighboring country without any justification whatsoever.
I don't understand why. In terms of the overall budget, in terms of what is being proposed for expenditures in many other areas, why are we cutting the most popular program the federal government runs?
Right now, Medicare will pay for a broken hip, but they won’t pay for a grab bar in your shower. That’s just insane.

I launched the GRIT task force to assess our resilience to disasters, system failures, and cyber threats. This year, GRIT recommends expanding the SecureSD program at Dakota State University to extend cybersecurity support from cities and…
We increased our real-world readiness — updating emergency siren protocols, re-establishing the State Fire Marshal, and deploying wildfire and wind sensors statewide for early alert capabilities.
When someone is a danger to themselves or others because of mental illness, addiction — or far too often both — we need the legal tools to keep communities safe and get New Mexicans the help they need, and the respect they deserve.
We have set new precedents when it comes to school safety… We will again fulfill that commitment in this year’s budget, bringing the total amount we have allocated to school safety during my time in office to over 511 million dollars.
Dollar for dollar, we’ve invested just as much in violence prevention as we have in training new Pennsylvania State Police troopers… Because we know our two-pronged approach is the smart way to ensure public safety.
I want to lift West Virginia out of poverty, and I want West Virginia to be that shining state in the mountains.
When we look at costs going up everywhere, including now with gas prices on the back of an affordability crisis, one of those key drivers that governors can have a huge impact on are utility prices.
