Today, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) released the following statement after the United States Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals halted action on the Environmental Protection Agencys (EPA) waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule. Todays ruling is a welcome reprieve for farmers, ranchers and small-business owners across the country, said Barrasso. The courts decision confirms that the EPA does not have the authority to completely circumvent Congress and the American people to further its radical regulatory agenda.\r\nThe EPA is fixated on unilaterally imposing impractical, ideology-based rules. Its time for the agency to go back to the drawing board and work with Congress to write a reasonable rule that truly protects Americas waterways while also safeguarding the rights of citizens.                                            ###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "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": ["http://www.barrasso.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/news-releases?ID=c45e0b16-d483-49f4-bfe2-87d8092f6c4f"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9003318846225739, "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"}
