Cost-of-living is front and center on people’s minds, and it very well could cost our party across the country in the election.

This guy killed 13 American service members, and he needs to be put to death. It just doesn’t need to be live streamed.

I don’t think he’s actually purchased any of that fuel yet, but I think it’s in violation of the law that we just passed and that he signed.

The regulatory structure in our country negatively affects more Americans than any other policy that we work on

Think about when we’re not making this stuff in America anymore, and a foreign country determines what the prices are going to be

If you look back at 1995, we produce three times more copper than China

Right now in the law, you’ve got six years where you can file a suit and a judge can issue an injunction and stop the project

We want to go through the process, but we want to make the process happen more quickly. And we want to take away the ability for activists to shut down projects

All these committees are working with bipartisan solutions that hopefully will get put in a good permitting bill, and hopefully it will happen sooner than later because we’re running out of time

She’s working really hard

We’re running out of time

This is the arsenal of the future.

This legislation would continue the Legacy Restoration Fund, which has helped tackle the backlog of repair and maintenance projects in our national parks.

There’s always the appeals process in the courts, so that’s certainly not settled.

This bill will provide the certainty needed to grow domestic production of minerals like lithium, graphite, copper, and many other minerals necessary for the advanced technologies that will ensure national security, energy security, and…

Mr. Speaker, H.R. 5419 is a bill that cuts red tape, streamlines approvals, and accelerates broadband access by addressing the permitting barriers that slow broadband development on Federal lands. By identifying areas to improve…

Mr. Speaker, once again, I thank Representative McGuire for his leadership on the Wintergreen Emergency Egress Act. Again, the bill addresses a clear safety risk with a narrow 30-foot-wide easement and a practical solution. It allows a…

I include in the Record a coalition letter from over 140 organizations in support of H.J. Res. 140. These groups include the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce, Minnesota Power, MiningMinnesota, Minnesota State Building and Construction Trades…

Again, I can't emphasize this enough: There is not going to be any mining in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. There is not going to be any mining in the boundary area around the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. If there is ever a project…

The facts and the science are clear. The gray wolf is a recovered species. It is time for America to celebrate that, and Congress needs to act to make that happen. By passing this bill, Congress would be celebrating an ESA success story…

How about the last runway that was built at the Atlanta airport? It only took 11 years to build it. Actually, it only took 18 months. It took 9.5 years to go through the NEPA permitting process. These are the kinds of projects we are…

I commend the Trump administration for these balanced reforms and for reminding us all that the E.S.A. was written to enrich wildlife habitat, not lawyers.
