We cannot accept the sale of federal lands that Sen. Lee seeks.

Tariffs are a tool the president enjoys because it’s personal power.

We’ve kicked the can long enough.

The math doesn’t add up.

There's a lot of strong positions on tariffs, but it's not — and I mentioned this to my colleagues — it's not the purview of Congress.

I urge the subcommittee to support prompt passage of the bipartisan TERRA Act. There is no time to waste.

The TERRA Act fills gaps and eliminates barriers, cutting through red tape to provide tribes with one place to go for accessing resources.

I thank you, Chairman Simpson and Representative Kilmer, for your vision and leadership on the TERRA Act.

I remind the subcommittee that its trust and treaty obligations exist irrespective of any self-imposed budgeting caps.

I urge this subcommittee to support significantly increased funding for Indian Country, especially chronically underfunded tribal environmental resiliency programs.

I think we all get that.

I do support the FERC variants, but I also support, so upstream.

I think Indian nations should be feeling pretty good because we have a wonderful chair. I think Chairman Cole is outstanding.

I share that sentiment. I do, yes.

I agree with you on fentanyl, but also, you know, my understanding is on building costs...

Maybe we should expand our definition, on innovation, of what title looks like so a person can buy maybe a piece of an apartment or expand it so at least you own and gain equity in the title.

I think we should look at a government-backed 50-year mortgage, because while you pay a lot of interest rates, I think lowering monthly costs--it is lowering monthly costs so people can afford something.

I am particularly concerned about home ownership, you know. And I understand helping people through a rough spot in housing, but ultimately it has always been about home ownership.

Your staff in Montana has been very helpful in us navigating through multiple community projects and stuff.

And you have my assurance, I will work together with you to remedy it, but it needs to be remedied.

The loss of $4.5 million resulted in 576 Montana families that were unable to access housing assistance.

The moral imperative to, quote, leave no one behind is critical to show our commitment to the men and women who risk their lives to protect and defend us in all theaters of operation.

We can't figure out who they are. We don't know who they are for sure because they are not in any database.

This administration's failure is making our communities less safe.
