But at the end of the day, according to our Constitution, the law rules, and it is the law that Congress passes and that the Administration signs.

No matter how the Administration spins this, the problem is getting worse.

To quote Robert F. Kennedy and I know that is awful hard, 'Unemployment kills.'

I urge you to pass the 'Black Vulture Relief Act of 2023' and equip producers with the flexibility they need to protect their livestock against this predator species.

For the second-most visited park in America, with an outrageous $829 million in deferred maintenance outstanding, do you agree that it should be a priority for the Park Service to resolve some of the issues at Grand Canyon Park ASAP?

Can I get a yes or no on a commitment for the Park Service to seek the counsel of the National Parks Oversight Advisory Board, particularly as it relates to the economic impact to these gateway communities?
