Congress and the administration must treat permitting modernization as a core national security priority.

The goal of Army modernization is pretty straightforward. It’s to ensure American Soldiers have the most capable, survivable, and lethal equipment possible to deter conflict and, if necessary, to win on the battlefield.

The battlefield is evolving in days or months, rather than decades.

Our bill aims to ease the burden on our heroes to buy a home or relocate.

North Dakota plays an outsized role in America’s defense, and this year’s NDAA recognizes this reality with investments strengthening our military missions, supporting our servicemembers, and bolstering national security.

The courts have paved the way for correction, now Congress is taking back control of its authority by using the CRA to safeguard congressional intent.

The only factor was Bill Pulte.

Every vehicle in America, from pickup trucks to EVs to hybrid sedans, should contribute to the HTF.

While our CRA resolution will not completely eliminate bureaucratic creep, it is a stark reminder that Congress can and, importantly, should use available tools to remind the executive that its rulemaking authority is delegated from the…

In fact, we’re becoming a bigger part of the center of it —from Grand Forks, the hub of unmanned aviation innovation and ISR, to Minot, the cornerstone of our nation’s nuclear deterrent, to the Cavalier Space Force Station, with its…

North Dakota has long been on the front lines of protecting our country, which is why this year’s National Defense Authorization Act is so important for our state.

North Dakota has finally been made whole for the intentional inaction of the Obama administration during the Dakota Access Pipeline protests.

I am deeply grateful for North Dakota Attorneys General Drew Wrigley and Wayne Stenehjem and their tireless efforts to see this thing through.

This bill invests in the capabilities that are needed to stay ahead of our adversaries, who are advancing very quickly, and ensure our men and women in uniform have the tools they need to defend our nation.

We’re reinforcing a principle that has always kept America secure for generations: peace through strength.

Time is power—China builds three times faster than we do. Time is money—Chinese defense output costs a fraction of ours.

The need to tackle the challenges of this permitting reform forest is clear: America’s ability to deter conflict, or to win if deterrence fails, rests on American industrial might.

The most important element is time. Time is power—China builds three times faster than we do.

Reversing America’s defense industrial decline requires more than a tweak to an administrative process, increasing permitting staff, or changing deadlines for filing lawsuits.

Volunteer firefighters and first responders are essential members of their local communities, especially in small towns or rural areas facing volunteer shortages.

The most important reason for permitting reform is to grow the U.S. defense industrial base at the speed, scale and cost efficiency needed to deter a major conflict with China, and to quickly prevail if deterrence fails.

Then they made it crystal clear they’d rather defund law enforcement than defend law enforcement.

The recent overturning of the North Dakota RMP is a case study in the previously untapped power of the CRA.

Every time Congress passes a CRA resolution, it is a stop sign to the bureaucracy.

The CRA effort was labeled 'a 745-million-acre can of worms' because we had the audacity to check the bureaucracy.
