While this may be a win for President Biden, this is a loss for rural communities in places across my State of Montana.

Instead of investing in Colstrip and the high-paying jobs it creates, PG&E and the Pacific Northwest owner have done everything they could to avoid investing in the plant.

This Administration has now put a stop to two mandatory lease sales and there appears to be no end in sight.

It is a very capital-intensive process with long-term payouts.

I believe that Montana is a great fit for one of these pilot projects.

It is also essential, I believe, that the U.S. make needed investments in research and development.

I strongly support Senator Young's Endless Frontier Act.

It is the certainty that is needed for these long-term capital investments.

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Election Integrity

it wasn't enough for Democrats like Stacey Abrams and President Biden to lie about the new Georgia voting law. Now, today, Chuck Schumer is sending his lawyers to swarm Montana courtrooms and has taken to the Senate floor with more…

we saw record-low unemployment rates for African American workers, Hispanic workers.

A high percentage of COVID transmission is going on, high positive COVID test rates.

I have urged Secretary Becerra to distribute more of the remaining PRF to assisted living facilities and other senior care centers.

You are aware of what is going on across the Mexican desert with the cartels and the coyotes, the human trafficking, the abuse of these children.

I am deeply committed to protecting the most vulnerable, and that is the unborn.

Do you think that the Vice President... should be visiting to see firsthand what is happening on the southern border?

I founded this pro-life caucus in the United States Senate.

Due to the open-border policies of this administration, we are experiencing a public health and, sadly, humanitarian crisis at our southern border.

Last week the Acting Director of IHS was out in Great Falls, Montana. Great Falls is home, in fact, to our newest federally recognized tribe in the Nation, and that is the Little Shell Tribe.

I hope that other tribes are treated with the respect they deserve, as IHS continues to visit tribes throughout Indian Country.

I was very pleased to see the one millionth vaccine distributed in Indian Country last week.

I appreciate your listening to their voice as you prioritize where these investments should be made.

I fought alongside the people of the Little Shell Tribe for years to achieve Federal recognition and establish this very important government-to-government relationship.

It is unacceptable, and the Little Shell have fought for recognition for far too long to simply be an afterthought for IHS.

I truly believe we are here to serve and not to be served.
