I don’t know if you agree with me, but Dr. Fauci is wrong a lot.

Noem has found herself under scrutiny over her other acts of supplication to the MAGA cult leader and his minions.

But only after taking his lead and leaving social distancing and masks optional despite the virus because freedom!

I think all reasonable people should be able to acknowledge that they are not zero steps.

hyperbole and dramatic overstatement is not conducive to addressing COVID-19.

zero steps had been taken by South Dakota to address COVID-19, and that is simply not the case.

Let me tell you, my people are happy. They're happy because they're free. The governor in Nebraska, Pete Ricketts, Kim Reynolds in Iowa and I have been making decisions to protect our people and let them use personal responsibility to…

Together we've done a good job.

You may choose to wear a mask and be concerned about the virus. And if people are scared, I'm going to remind them they should stay home. But if people choose not to, we still should treat them with respect and understand that they're…

I don't want to approach a policy or a mandate just looking to make people feel good. I want to do good.

Let me tell you, my people are happy. They're happy because they're free.

If folks want to wear a mask, they should be free to do so. Similarly, those who don't want to wear a mask shouldn't be shamed into wearing one and government should not mandate it.

Those who don't want to wear a mask shouldn't be shamed into wearing one, and government shouldn't mandate it. We need to respect each other's decisions.

Come visit South Dakota, our COVID new infection rates are quadruple the rest of the country and our country's the worst in the world and we don't wear masks.

We've had several big events in South Dakota already. We had the first spectator attended a professional sport. The professional bull riding was held in South Dakota. We had the July 3rd event and saw no increase in cases because of that…

I just wanted to clarify. I firmly disagree with my colleague on the other side of the aisle who just talked about Social Security and Medicare. In fact, the economic statistics that have recently come back have talked about how the…

I thank the gentleman for yielding and his work protecting life in this Nation. Mr. Speaker, taxpayers should not have to bear the abortion industry's financial burden directly or indirectly, and yet, every single year, the American people…

This initiative is incredibly important. We have huge challenges in the Great Plains region. Our Tribes are stressed and impoverished more than any other Tribes in the Nation. Many times, those youth struggle with hopelessness, a lack of…

Many States in which agriculture is important are also home to Native Americans Tribes. South Dakota, for example, has nine federally recognized Tribes. Many of these communities are poor. They lack basic services and have high rates of…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 605, strike lines 16 through 21 and insert the following: SEC. 11203. OFFICE OF TRIBAL RELATIONS…

I want to thank the chairman as well for all of his help getting this bill done. I rise today in support of the Black Hills National Cemetery Boundary Expansion Act, and I urge my colleagues to vote for it. This morning, I was up at 4 a.m…

I would encourage you to keep agriculture in the forefront of your consideration...

I would really like to know whether or not there is a lot of time being spent by the Administration...
