The Trump administration is right to rescind this outrageous rule.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe Biden administration's Public Lands Rule was a direct hit to the west, threatening to shut down hundreds of thousands of acres of working land and hurt the livelihoods of hardworking Wyoming families who've depended on these lands for generations,\u201d said Lummis. \"Leftist Washington bureaucrats have worked overtime to lock up federal lands, block our energy production, hurt our timber industry, take away grazing rights, and shut out the ranchers, loggers, and energy workers who actually live in these communities and know how to take care of the land. Getting rid of this harmful rule brings back sensible federal land management and makes sure we can use our public lands for energy, ranching, timber, and recreation like we always have.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe Biden-era Public Lands Rule was designed to lock up hundreds of thousands of acres from multiple use and convert them to no-use,\u201d said Hageman. \u201cPresident Trump and Secretary Burgum are restoring common sense by returning management of the lands to the people who depend on them. This is a huge win for Wyoming, securing grazing rights, bolstering energy production, and protecting rural economies from overreaching, absurd mandates.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:10:29Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases/wy-delegation-applauds-move-rescind-biden-public-lands-rule"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.728250179439783, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
