I just hope we take a look at what is going on in Europe right now and do not make the mistakes that Europe has made.
This reckless tax and spend bill slaps Montana businesses with new fees, taxes, and regulations that will drive energy prices up.
We need to look no further than the energy crisis happening in Europe to see where this Administration wants to take the United States.
I find it incredible over the last few months to hear this Administration appealing to OPEC.
The impacts of these proposals are real for Montana and will only add to the pain that Montana families are feeling because of this Administration-induced inflation and these anti-energy policies.

this action contradicts earlier assurance by President Biden that he would not ease sanctions until Iran reversed its course on the pursuit of a nuclear weapon.
Even though they have been studied and deemed not suitable for wilderness. So what I would like to see is that balance.
I can tell you, Montanans are tired of going through the process of studying with them 40 years and providing input in these areas and then not seeing much if any action or resolution.
Yes, Senator King, the Blackfoot Clearwater Stewardship project has been a good example of collaboration bringing various stakeholders together.
I want to begin by acknowledging and commending the proponents of the Blackfoot Clearwater Stewardship Act for their collaborative efforts over a course of many years.
first of all, I want to thank the Senator from Utah for his courtesy. Thank you, Senator Lee. Unanimous Consent Request--S. 2196
Americans across the country, people around the world, and myself believe that in this room, they know that President Biden is failing at our southern border. That is not a secret. We have had months of record-shattering numbers of illegal…
I am grateful for the support the Senator from Delaware has offered here. The reason I am down here asking for the unanimous consent this evening is to provide a sense of urgency to try to get this done now. President Trudeau opened up the…
