I do not trust this administration with any of the taxpayer funding that they are handling. They are mishandling our taxpayer funds. If the gentleman says that there are no funds and agrees that this is precautionary, then I would urge…

I have seen this administration use all sorts of funds to protect illegal aliens, and this is precautionary to ensure that it will not be used.

There is no way for these folks to even report what is taking place because they are protected under this fake policy that has been created that is subduing the actual rule of law that we have in the Constitution of the United States.

There are sanctuary city policies that are in place that are allowing the refuge of illegal aliens into these cities, and there is an influx in crime and drugs into these cities.

I am sorry. I couldn't hear the gentleman. I was getting clarification. This is precautionary.

I don't think that this is something that should be opposed. Redirecting $5 million from government bureaucracies to hazardous fuels reduction activities is very common sense. We are to be good stewards of our land, and part of that is…

I just would note that we understand how the comment periods work under the Biden administration. Typically, they are for a topic that impacts our rural communities. In the West, there is a real rural and urban divide, and it is always my…

From day one in his administration, Joe Biden declared an all-out war on American energy production and exploration. He made it clear that he cares more about appeasing the radical climate change activists than protecting the millions of…

Riding a bicycle is great. It is wonderful. Sure, we want fresh air. Sure, we want exercise. It is great for our health, but it is not great for the American taxpayer to subsidize this to bureaucrats. What about western Colorado? Are we…

On rollcall No. 567, I mistakenly voted ``aye'' when I intended to vote ``no.'' Amendment No. 15 Offered by Mr. Collins The Acting CHAIR. The unfinished business is the demand for a recorded vote on amendment No. 15, printed in part A of…

I urge you to prioritize responsible policy-making that safeguards our environment, protects public health, and ensures the financial stability of our communities.

We need to stop buying oil and gas from Russia, stop begging OPEC, Venezuela, and even Iran to produce energy for us, and start producing more energy responsibly right here in America.

This is why I introduced the Restoring American Energy Dominance Act, to terminate this proposed rule and to protect American energy producers.

Do you think that the proposed fluid mineral leasing rule will do the opposite in many instances, and actually prevent responsible domestic energy production?

From Day 1 of his administration, Joe Biden has declared an all-out war on American energy production and exploration.

He has made it clear that he cares more about appeasing the radical climate change activists than protecting the millions of oil and gas workers and producers in America.

These additional fees, as you know, will ultimately harm returns and reduce revenues to state and local governments by disincentivizing development on our Federal lands.

The church is supposed to direct the government. The government is not supposed to direct the church. I am tired of this separation-of-church-and-state junk.
