Given the sacrifices they and their families make for the cause of freedom, our troops should never have their livelihoods threatened by political battles in Washington, D.C. In addition to hurting our troops, failing to pass the NDAA will have dire consequences for our national security. This bill will help protect our nation against cyberattacks like the massive cyber operation recently launched against our government by Russia. It also contains some of the strongest measures in years to counter the Chinese Communist Party, which is responsible for the disastrous coronavirus pandemic. Congress must uphold its highest responsibilityproviding for the defense of this nationand ensure this bill becomes law. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Soda ash may not be a household name, but it is Wyoming's top export and American producers have been struggling against unfair trade practices from other countries like China, Enzi said. This decision to reduce the royalty rate will allow this critical Wyoming industry to remain competitive. Today's long-awaited action will give Wyoming soda ash producers the certainty we need to stay competitive in the global market, Barrasso said. American soda ash supports thousands of jobs across the country in a variety of sectors, including mineral production, cleaning supplies, glass and manufacturing. For too long, American producers have had to battle unfair foreign trade practices of China and other countries. Lowering the royalty rate will level the playing field against China and preserve these high-paying jobs in Wyoming. Wyoming is home to the largest deposit of trona in the world and the soda ash it creates is a critical component in products we use every day. Senators Enzi, Barrasso and I have been working to secure a reduction in the industry-wide soda ash royalty rate as an essential step to ensuring Wyoming producers remain competitive in the global market against foreign competitors like China. This long-awaited royalty rate reduction will empower soda ash producers across our state to expand operations and create much-needed job opportunities and economic growth as we continue to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, Cheney said. Background: Natural soda ash, also known as sodium carbonate, is a raw material used to manufacture glass, detergents, and other industrial goods. Natural soda ash is produced from trona, a mineral found in high concentrations on federal land, primarily in California and Wyoming. The United States exports almost 60 percent … | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Today, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) released the following statement after Congress passed a government funding bill that includes key provisions from his bipartisan coal to products bill and his bipartisan bill to extend and expand limits on Russian uranium imports. Barrasso also praised the inclusion of $75 million in funding for a national uranium reserve. Wyoming energy scored two big wins today. Bipartisan legislation to promote new and innovative ways to use coal and help boost Wyoming's uranium production is headed to the president's desk. Wyoming has led the way in domestic coal production for decades. While coal continues to help keep the lights on across the county, it's more than just a power source. Carbon from coal can be used in products as diverse as water filters, automobile bodies, bikes, and building products. The inclusion of key provisions of our coal to products bill will encourage investment and create new jobs in Wyoming and across the country. Russia continues to undercut Wyoming's uranium producers by flooding the market with cheap nuclear fuel. Vladimir Putin also uses uranium as a geopolitical weapon. In order to stop this, our legislation sets clear limits on imports of uranium from Russia. This is a win-win for our energy security and national security. Finally, the creation and funding of a national uranium reserve is long overdue. This reserve will help preserve and strengthen uranium production in Wyoming and ensure America will always have the fuel it needs to power our nuclear reactors. Background: On Dec. 12, 2019, Barrasso along with Senators Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) and Joe Manchin (D-WV) introduced S. 3047, the Creating Opportunities And Leveraging Technologies for Coal Carbon Act, or COAL TeCC Act, to advance research and promote coal-derived carbon products. Some of these coal products include carbon fiber, graphite and carbon foam. The FY21 Omnibus contains key language contained in the COAL TeCC Act.

Today, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, issued the following statement after voting to send a coronavirus relief bill to the president's desk. Coronavirus relief is on the way for the people of Wyoming and America. I am glad the Democrats put aside their partisan demands and joined us in helping families across the country. Congress is delivering help so children can get back to school and workers at small businesses continue to get their paychecks. Congress is sending a second round of direct payment checks, as well as making sure the vaccine is fully distributed. The vaccine, with help for families and small businesses, is how we put the virus behind us for good. Key Provisions in Relief Bill Include: $284 billion to reopen a second round of Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans Simplified forgiveness process for PPP loans under $150,000 Ensures that eligible expenses paid with PPP loans are tax-deductible Extends the deadline for state and local governments to use coronavirus relief funds that were allocated in the CARES Act through December 31, 2021 Provides immediate financial assistance to families in the form of stimulus checks $69 billion for vaccines and testing $20 billion to buy vaccines and therapies $8.75 billion to distribute vaccine $3 billion for Strategic National Stockpile $82 billion for education and schools | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Barrasso. WASHINGTON, D C. U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) appeared on Fox News Sunday this morning to discuss how Congress will not leave until they have a Covid-19 relief bill for the American people. Barrasso also previewed what the confirmation process for Biden's cabinet nominees will look like in the U.S. Senate. Below are key excerpts of the interview: On Getting COVID Relief Bill Done Today: This gets done today, no more delays. We're not leaving until we have relief for the American people. People are hurting, people need help and there are two things we need to do to write this final chapter on coronavirus and one is to get people vaccinated. We're doing that now. 20 million people will be vaccinated by New Year's Eve. But we need to provide help for the American public, people who have been struggling, until we get enough people vaccinated that we can fully get the economy back on track. And that means people back to work, getting kids back to school. So direct payment checks to the American people, $600. For people who are watching, if they got a check last time, they will get a check again this time. Adults and children. On Helping Small Businesses, Unemployed: For people who are out of work through no fault of their own, $300 a week for enhanced unemployment going into next year. And for the small businesses and the working families all across America, we were going to do more paycheck protection loans so those small businesses can stay open, so people can get paychecks all the way through. This has been a very successful program. 13,000 small businesses in Wyoming have used this program. It's a little more specific this time in that the business has to be fewer than 300 employees and they actually have to show a loss. But that's the way we get this disease behind us. On Democrats Delaying a Deal: We need to get this done today. The president is right in that this is no fault of the American people. We should have done this months ago had not Nancy Pelosi play… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Mike Rogers (R-AL),HASC Strategic Forces Subcommittee Ranking MemberRep. Mike Turner (R-OH), and HASCIntelligence, Emerging Threats and Capabilities Subcommittee Ranking Member Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) all members of the House Armed Services Committee issued a joint statement highlighting the critical provisions in the FY 2021 NDAA that will bolster America's cybersecurity defenses. The statement comesfollowing reportsof serious coordinated cyberattacks launched by the Kremlin against federal government agencies: Our nation must respond to the reported cyber espionage operation targeting America's nuclear infrastructure and federal government and hold the perpetrator accountable. This attack serves as a stark warning that our nation must bolster its cybersecurity posture and capabilities, and it must do so without delay. This year's national defense bill contains over two dozen provisions that would make critical progress in cybersecurity, including provisions that would help ensure the resiliency of our nation's nuclear command and control systems. The NDAA also fully funds long overdue modernization of our nuclear infrastructure, including $375 million to bolster cyber security of our nuclear weapons production facilities. There is no doubt that our adversaries will take advantage of any opportunity to attack vulnerabilities in our cyber infrastructure. The measures in this year's bill will provide critical safeguards to protect the information and capabilities most foundational to our nation's security. In addition to the above statement from the lawmakers, the information below includes key specifics about the provisions included in the FY 2021 NDAA that will make critical progress our country's cybersecurity defenses: BACKGROUND The FY21 NDAA adopts26 recommendations from the bipartisan Cyber Solarium Commissionthat strengthen the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security … | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Eric Swalwell (D-CA) followingreportsthat Rep. Swalwell had a connection and relationship with Chinese Communist Party (CCP) spy. Watch the full interview hereand see excerpts of her answers below: STEVE DOOCY: Wyoming Republican Congresswoman and House GOP Conference Chair Liz Cheney joins us right now from the Russell Rotunda. Congresswoman, good morning to you. REP. LIZ CHENEY: Good morning, great to be with you guys, as always. DOOCY: It's good to have you as well. Does Eric Swalwell represent a national security hazard? REP. CHENEY: I think that he does. I think there are real questions about the extent to which he was clearly cultivated, financial support was provided by this bundling by this Chinese spy. It sounds like she placed an intern in his office, and I think the real question is why Speaker Pelosi hasn't taken action. You've watched her, again and again, treat her responsibility over the Intelligence Committee with something less than seriousness. At this moment where we face grave national security threats. Not only has she let Congressman Swalwell stay on that committee, not taking action, she diverted the attention to that committee for months and months and months on to impeachment, instead of being focused on the threat from China, the threat of the coronavirus, for example, so I think it's an issue of grave concern, she needs to take action and that's why we sent the letter. DOOCY: Well she said, you know, last week she wasn't concerned but at the same time, she's the one who heard from law enforcement or the Intel Community that Swalwell had been, you know, compromised by this Chinese asset, but it was her judgment, even though she heard that, to put him on the committee.

We need both, and Congress needs to provide a path beyond the pandemic. Click here to watch Sen. Barrasso's remarks. WASHINGTON, D.C. Today, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-WY) spoke on the Senate floor about the need for Democrats to join Republicans in passing COVID-19 relief legislation for Americans. He also spoke about the triumph of the new COVID-19 vaccine and its distribution. Excerpts of Senator Barrasso's remarks: I come to the floor today to ask our Democrat colleagues to join us, the Republicans, in providing immediate relief. Relief in the fight against coronavirus, and relief, economic relief, for the people of this country. Americans don't ask much of their government, but they are asking us for something right now. Number one, they are asking to help control the spread of the coronavirus, and number two, they are asking to help with an economic recovery. America and Americans shouldn't have to choose between staying open and staying healthy. We need both, and Congress needs to provide a path beyond the pandemic. A path forward is something Republicans have been proposing now for a long time. We've done it first with the CARES Act, and we need to do it right now with additional coronavirus and economic relief legislation. Our bill is practical. It supports our neighborhoods, the men and women working on Main Street and our small towns and communities all across the country. We also need to provide unemployment help for those who for no reason of their own happen to find themselves out of work as a result of the pandemic. We need to get the vaccine to as many Americans as we can, as quickly and safely as we can. Especially during this holiday season when we are really looking at a medical miracle. What we've seen from the other side is gridlock. No path forward on the economy, no path forward on coronavirus. We've seen them play politics with the pandemic.

As we head into 2021, we can celebrate a new year with some much-needed encouraging news: We have multiple effective vaccines for COVID-19. During the past year, the federal government has focused on Operation Warp Speed. This is a true private-public partnership, involving America's best scientists, business, military and health care leaders. The goal was to create and distribute a safe, potent and effective vaccine for COVID-19. That goal was achieved in record time. This is a historic achievement. This is the quickest a vaccine has ever been developed. In terms of saving lives, this vaccine rivals the discovery of insulin or penicillin. Two vaccines will be available nationwide before the first of the year. We expect several more to be approved next year. Doses are already being distributed across the country. We expect up to 15,000 doses in Wyoming before January 1. In the Senate, I scrutinized this process closely. I attended briefings, read the scientific reports and spoke directly with medical experts. After reviewing all of the science and results of the medical trials, I can say clearly and without hesitation: These vaccines work. Don't just take my word for it. Read the scientific literature yourself. There is plenty of detailed information publicly available. For example, you will find that the vaccine from Pfizer is 95 percent effective. The clinical trials involved 44,000 volunteers. Half received the vaccine and half received a placebo. The results? Only eight people who received the vaccine contracted COVID-19. Of those eight, only one had a serious case. The side effects were minor. The most common were injection site reactions, like a sore arm, and fatigue and headache. That's it. These reactions can occur after any type of vaccine. If you remain skeptical, read the information, speak with your health… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

I'm glad the Senate passed this important defense bill that prioritizes quality of life for our troops and their families while also supporting our American mining industry, Enzi said. I'm especially pleased that the legislation included provisions to strengthen America's rare earth processing and manufacturing. I have been working to ensure that the supply chain for rare earths, from the mining to the refining, is done right here in this country and better yet, in the state of Wyoming. The legislation includes provisions that would: Support Enzi's priority of developing a domestic supply chain for rare earth minerals by prohibiting the acquisition of rare earth materials from non-allied foreign countries to encompass the entire supply chain. Require the secretary of defense to report to Congress on information about rare earth materials, improvements to the supply chain, and evaluation of domestic processing and manufacturing. Prohibit the reduction of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMS). The NDAA also includes one of Enzi's amendments that requires a list of partnership opportunities on the government's contracting website. Many small Department of Defense contractors, including those that produce rare earth elements, are often not aware of these partnership opportunities, making them disadvantaged relative to bigger contractors. The bill would provide a 3% pay raise to troops and increased hazard pay, establishes the Pacific Deterrence Initiative to counter China and makes investments in 5G and artificial intelligence. The Senate passed the NDAA with an 84-13 vote. The House passed the same bill earlier this week with a 355-78 vote. The bill now goes to the president for his signature. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Today, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, issued the following statement regarding Senate passage of the conference report accompanying H.R. 6395, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021, or NDAA. Congress' first duty is to provide for the common defense. The National Defense Authorization Act is how we keep America safe. For 60 consecutive years, Congress has passed this bill. The NDAA gives the troops a well-deserved raise. It provides them with cutting-edge technology to maintain American military superiority on any battlefield. The bill also funds important defense projects at F. E. Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne, Wyoming. This critical defense bill also keeps China and Russia in check. We successfully included legislation I've championed to expand U.S. sanctions on companies involved in installing Russia's Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. Sanctions will help us stop this pipeline and eliminate this Russian geopolitical weapon. I'm proud to support our men and women in uniform by voting for the NDAA. Key provisions for Wyoming: Ground Based Strategic Deterrent Minuteman III ICBM Replacement Program $1.5 billion. MH-139 Helicopter Program Air Force Security Forces $194 million. F.E. Warren Weapons Storage Facility Military Construction $12 million Nord Steam 2 Pipeline: Barrasso co-sponsored legislation that clarifies and expands U.S. sanctions related to Nord Stream 2, applying them to vessels engaged in all pipe-laying activities. The sanctions were also extended to those facilitating or providing vessels, insurance, port facilities, or tethering services for those vessels, and ultimately to any company providing certification for the Nord Stream 2 pipeline to begin operations. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Enzi's announcement includes nominations to the U.S. Air Force Academy, the Military Academy at West Point, the Naval Academy and the Merchant Marine Academy. As one of my final acts as a U.S. Senator, it is an honor to nominate these impressive Wyoming students who are driven by integrity and character, Enzi said. Young people from Wyoming demonstrate their patriotism and willingness to serve their country by applying to our service academies every year. In addition to a quality education, the service academies will open doors and provide a unique set of skills that graduates will carry with them throughout their lives. Nominees are chosen with the aid of an academy selection committee put together by Enzi. Receiving a nomination is the first step in the process of seeking an appointment to an academy.

On 40 separate occasions, House Democrats have blocked effortsto have an up-or-down vote on Rep. Steve Chabot's legislation (H.R. 8265), which would extend the PPP and allow small businesses and workers to access the over $138 billion in funds that remain a part of the program. Watch video of Rep. Cheney's remarks here, and see the transcript below: REP. LIZ CHENEY:Every one of us lined up on these steps, every single member on the other side of the aisle, we all represent thousands, thousands of people, thousands of small businesses who are hurting. And when I watch what Speaker Pelosi and the Democrats are doing, there are many times that we've come up here and raised our issues, raised our disagreements with the Speaker, in particular,but when I watch this, it is a level of cynicism, a level of willingness to completely ignore the people she represents, that I have not seen before. I think it makes absolutely clear Speaker Pelosi has been in Congress and has been the Speaker for far too long. The American people deserve a House of Representatives that is one that will do what is needed. We are in the middle of a pandemic, we have got small businesses across this nation, we've got Ag producers, we've got energy producers, we've got restaurant owners, we've got hospitals, we've got people who are suffering and the Speaker of the House seems to think this is all about sitting in back rooms, negotiating deals, scoring political points. When she finally says the quiet part out loud, and admits that she is actually doing that, she actually has delayed getting help to the American people because she was waiting to see if Joe Biden would get elected President. That is what she's doing. Every single American, every single member of this House, particularly… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Click here to watch Sen. Barrasso's remarks. WASHINGTON, D.C. Today, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-WY) spoke on the Senate floor about the need to pass the 60th National Defense Authorization Act for the safety of our nation. He also discussed the importance of passing another coronavirus relief bill to help American families and small businesses that are struggling. Excerpts of Senator Barrasso's remarks: I come to the floor today in complete support of Senator Inhofe, the Chairman of the Senate Armed service Committee. I come in support of the National Defense Authorization Act. I come to speak to that, and I am so grateful for the Senator from Oklahoma for his ongoing determined leadership in making sure that our nation remains safe and secure and free. It's because of the work done by Senator Inhofe and his committee and this body and this legislation that we will be voting on, that I have been so grateful for the leadership of the chairman, and want to talk specifically about the reason I think it's important that we do pass the legislation that the committee has worked so hard on. This critical national security legislation lays out America's defense and national security priorities, and the Senator from Oklahoma just laid out, for the years to come. It sets the policies to defend our nation, and it supports America's service men and women here at home as well as those abroad. I was honored to spend Thanksgiving again this year with Wyoming National Guard troops, members of our Air National Guard, they're serving at this time in Qatar, Al-Udeid Airforce Base in the Persian Gulf. When I think of the National Defense Authorization Act, this legislation before us today, I think of them. I think about the members there, Charlie Med', doing medical evacuations, medical transport.

The Safeguarding Therapeutics Act would give the Food and Drug Administration authority to seize and destroy counterfeit medical devices and products, including COVID-19 tests and vaccines, as well as counterfeit combination products like EpiPens. It's crucial that we work to protect patients and ensure confidence in our health care system, especially as we continue to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, Enzi said. This bill will help prevent potentially dangerous medical products from harming patients. I am glad the Senate unanimously passed it and hope the House and president act quickly to make it law. Counterfeit medical products can endanger patients' lives, and the COVID-19 pandemic has only underscored the need to crack down on counterfeit products, said Hassan. This commonsense bipartisan bill will help keep counterfeit products out of hospitals, doctors' offices, and pharmacies, and I will keep pushing for it to quickly become law. The House passed similar legislation introduced by Representatives Brett Guthrie, R-Ky., and Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., in September. Because the Senate version had small technical differences, the Safeguarding Therapeutics Act now must be passed by the House before being sent to the president for his signature. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Rep. Cheneyspoke on the floor in support of the act earlier in the day,and the legislation passed the House this evening by a vote of 335-78-1. Congress has no greater duty than providing for the defense of our nation. This National Defense Authorization Act will allow our military to have the resources they need to keep our country safe and counter our adversaries like Russia and China. In addition to offering support for our troops and military families, this critical legislation funds the modernization of our nuclear triad and ensures that our forward presence across the globe will bolster our efforts atdeterringmalign actors from plotting and executing attacks against our nation. For 59 consecutive years, the NDAA has passed with broad bipartisan support because members of both parties recognize that funding and support for our military is far too important to allow politics to get in the way. I'm proud that the House is once again continuing that impressive track record with this evening's vote, and look forward to this strong bill becoming law so that our men and women in uniform are equipped with the tools required to protect our country. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Eric Swalwell (D-CA), and the failure of Speaker Pelosi to confront China's attacks against the United States. Watch video of the interview here, and see the transcript below: DANA PERINO:Let's bring in Congresswoman Liz Cheney, she is Chair of the House Republican Conference, and, of course, from my wonderful home state of Wyoming. Congresswoman, I guess I want to get your overall take on this situation, but also Swalwell is saying that the only reason that this has leaked now is because he has criticized President Trump. I'd like your take on both of those things. REP. LIZ CHENEY:Thanks, Dana for having me. First of all, I think the reports that we are seeing are alarming. You have a situation where it looks like Representative Swalwell was identified, cultivated, and potentially funded by a Chinese Communist spy. This happened before he came to Congress, but once he got to Congress, there are real questions about whether or not Speaker Pelosi knew this when she put him on the House Intel Committee.I think that unfortunately and concerningly, this is part of a much larger pattern where we know that the Chinese Communist Party, the Chinese government, is on the attack against the United States of America. So far, it seems only one party in Congress is willing to take them on, willing to stand up for the United States, willing to fight back. Time and time again, you've got Speaker Pelosi and too many of the Democrats refusing to acknowledge that the Chinese Communist Party is an adversary and that we are under threat, and we've got to take steps to defend the nation and protect ourselves. I think this is simply the latest episode demonstrating very concerning behavior on the part of the Democrats.

Watch her remarks here, and see the transcript below: REP. LIZ CHENEY:Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of this NDAA Conference Report, named after a true American patriot, our Armed Services Committee Ranking Member, Mac Thornberry, whom we will very much miss and who has dedicated his career to serving this nation. I also want to thank the chairman of our committee, Mr. Smith, for his work on this bipartisan product. Congress has no greater responsibility, Mr. Speaker, than providing for the defense of our nation. At a time when the United States faces the most complex array of threats in our history, it is incumbent upon us to ensure that our service members have the tools they need to deter and defeat our adversaries. The 2021 defense bill before us today makes critical progress toward modernizing our military, supporting our military families, protecting supply chains, and deterring Russia and China. At this crucial moment, when we have troops deployed overseas, including those from Wyoming's 153rd, 187th and 243rd Air National Guard units, it is imperative that they have the full support of the United States Congress behind them as they execute their missions. Failure to pass this Act would force hundreds of thousands of our men and women in uniform and their families to endure cuts to their pay right before the holidays. Over 250,000 military families would lose their hazardous duty pay. Given the sacrifices they make for all of us, our troops should never have their livelihoods threatened by political battles in Washington, D.C.

The Senate companion legislation is sponsored byU.S. Senators Mike Enzi and John Barrasso, both R-Wyo. Watch her remarks here, and see the transcript below: REP. LIZ CHENEY:Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I'm pleased to rise in support of S. 4684, the House version of which will be coming to the floor today, to honor former Thermopolis, Wyoming Postmaster Robert Brown. We'll be renaming the post office located at 440 Arapaho Street in Thermopolis as the Robert L. Brown Post Office. Bob Brown's career with the Postal Service spanned 44 years, including 18 years as the Postmaster. Brown and his wife, Jerry, who was Senator Mike Enzi's first Sunday school teacher, are also the parents of Senator John Barrasso's wife Bobbi. After graduating from Thermopolis High School, Brown was inducted into the Army in 1944 and served in both the European and Pacific theaters. In 1950, when he was in the National Guard, Brown deployed to Korea where he was a member of the 300th Armored Field Artillery Battalion. Along with a unit citation, he received the Combat Infantry Badge and the Purple Heart. After his service, Bob returned to Thermopolis and began working at the post office. Decades of service to his community, to his state, and to his country means that it is absolutely fitting that the Thermopolis Post Office should bear Bob's name and I am proud to sponsor this legislation. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I yield back. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Governor Gordon is committed to protecting Wyoming and his health orders reflect that. We've lost 280 people in Wyoming and more than 280,000 Americans to this virus so far. It's a real and significant threat, said Enzi, Barrasso and Cheney. We're especially worried about protecting our most vulnerable population from this deadly disease. It's not a cure-all, but wearing a mask and practicing social distancing goes a long way in stopping the spread.

Brown's career with the U.S. Postal Service spanned 44 years, including 18 years as the postmaster. U.S. Senators Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., and Tom Carper, D-Del., introduced the legislation earlier this year. U.S. Senator John Barrasso, R-Wyo., who was Brown's son-in-law, cosponsored the legislation. Renaming the post office after Bob Brown is a fitting tribute to his service first in the military and later as the Thermopolis postmaster, Enzi said. He was born and raised in Thermopolis and exemplified Wyoming values. I'm glad the Senate passed this bill to honor and remember him. Bob Brown was an American hero who inspired everyone who knew him.Renaming the Thermopolis post office after himisa perfect way tohonor his memory,Barrasso said. Bob, my late father-in-law, served as postmaster in Thermopolis for many years after returning from his service in WWII and Korea. Many knew him as the nicest guy in town. I am deeply appreciative of Senator Enzi and Senator Carper's work to get this bipartisan bill passed in the Senate. This is awonderfulway to honor Bob's memory and service to Thermopolis and our nation. While I was never fortunate enough to meet Robert Brown, I know he was a man who dedicated his life to his country. He didn't just serve in the Army; he served with courage and distinction in combat in both World War II and later in the Korean War. He was awarded the Bronze Star and later returned to his community where he continued to serve his fellow citizens for years as a postmaster in the U.S. Postal Service. I know that our country is better for his lifetime of service to others, said Carper. I want to thank my colleague, Senator Enzi, for graciously allowing me to be his wingman in this effort to rename the Thermopolis post office in Mr. Brown's honor.

I'm glad the House passed this commonsense legislation that could save millions of taxpayer dollars every year,Senator Enzisaid. By changing the composition of coins, the U.S. Mint can produce coins at a lower cost while integrating them seamlessly into the current coin supply. Making even a slight alteration to the composition could save the federal government $48 million over the first 10 years. It is a win-win and I urge my colleagues in the Senate to pass this legislation soon. This commonsense, bipartisan bill would save millions of taxpayer dollars, according to the Government Accountability Office and the U.S. Mint, Senator Hassan said.

During his remarks, Enzi offered advice for finding common ground, citing his 80 percent tool as an effective way of making change for the American people. It turns out that when we work together we can create a better bill than when we just try to do it alone or force others to accept our ideas, Enzi said on the U.S. Senate floor. That is why bipartisanship is not really about compromise. It is about what you leave out or finding a third way to accomplish a mutually agreeable goal. He also highlighted his office mission statement, which he said is guided by three principles: Doing what is right, doing our best, and treating others as they wish to be treated. I hope everyone listening especially my colleagues in the Senate remembers the core values I spoke of today, Enzi said. I truly believe that if we adhere to those ideals, the world will be a better place for our children and grandchildren. Enzi's remarks below (as prepared for delivery): Mr./Mrs. President, I rise today to give my farewell speech on the floor of the U.S. Senate. It has been the honor of a lifetime to serve the great people of Wyoming in this position for the last 24 years. I have really enjoyed being a senator. Not for the title, not for the recognition and certainly not for publicity. I love solving problems for folks in Wyoming and America. I like working on legislation. It might shock those who don't know me, but I never intended to get into politics! While I always had great respect for those who serve in public office, it wasn't my calling when I left college.

Excerpts of Senator Barrasso's remarks: I come to the floor today to pay tribute to this great Wyoming leader. For nearly a quarter-century, Mike Enzi has represented the people of Wyoming in Washington and has done it with intelligence, with intensity, and with integrity.

Mike is truly a devoted family man as well as a man of great and deep faith. In fact, Mike taught Sunday school over the decades. Many in the Wyoming faith community know that Mike's first Sunday school teacher in Thermopolis Wyoming was my wife Bobbi's mother, Jerry Brown. Jerry and her husband Bob, a World War II and Korean War veteran, both passed away this past year, and they had been married 70 years. Well, she taught Sunday school in Thermopolis, Wyoming, and her star pupil was Mike Enzi. To the point that she actually gave Mike Enzi his first Bible, and he still has that today.

Barrasso with Wyo National Guard Troops Serving in Qatar QATAR On Thanksgiving day, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) shared dinner with Wyoming National Guard troops serving in Qatar. Barrasso sat down with members of the 153rd Airlift Wing and 187th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron, who are supporting airlift operations and medical evacuations in the Middle East. Spending Thanksgiving with Wyoming troops serving overseas is a tradition I look forward to every year, said Barrasso. Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on the people and things we're most thankful for. So much of our gratitude goes to the brave Wyoming men and women serving our country overseas. This year the holidays will look quite a bit different for most Americans. This is especially true for the members of the Wyoming Air National Guard deployed in Qatar. Despite the unique challenges this year brings, they continue to do a remarkable job keeping America and our allies safe. It was wonderful to share a meal with them and bring a little bit of home to them this holiday season. (Map showing where WY National Guard is currently stationed) Barrasso sat down for Thanksgiving dinner with service members and was briefed by military officials about operations in the Middle East. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

One of my answers is visiting small businesses across Wyoming. It may seem unexpected at first, but once I list off all of my favorite stops around the state, they themselves are already planning a road trip around Wyoming. Being a U.S. Senator for the state of Wyoming has been a rewarding experience with many highs but there's something special and nothing quite like getting the opportunity to tour businesses, meet with owners and hear their stories.

I encourage everyone to support our Wyoming small businesses this Saturday, November 28 and the rest of the holiday season. Wyoming is one big community and it wouldn't be the same without our small businesses. I started my career 50 years ago as a small business owner with my wife. Diana and I owned a shoe store on Gillette Avenue called NZ Shoes. It's a place I raised my family and the reason I call Gillette home. It let me apply my accounting skills and provide a business to a town smaller than 10,000. We were excited. Years later as senator, I traveled many miles around Wyoming for meetings but always made a point to add walking on main street to the schedule. Diana and I visited businesses ranging from bakeries to welding shops and we were reminded about the joys of being small business owners. I try to visit a business on almost every break I have. Driving by and wandering into a store may seem simple, but folks often don't realize they are walking into a person's life work.

Watch her remarks here, and see the transcript below: REP. LIZ CHENEY:Thank you very much, and thanks to everybody. We've all worked together really closely throughout this year in particular and before. I'm really grateful to all of you for everything you're doing. I know, just talking about what's happening now and the challenges we're facing now, obviously COVID is at the top of the list. Eric has been just hugely helpful as we've worked to try to get legislation passed to get additional resources to our hospitals across the state. We were able, just in the last week or so, to get additional health care workers, some nurses and additional health care workers, to Cheyenne and Gillette, and we're going to continue to do that. You all see very much how important it is, particularly in these times, to make sure that we are providing the resources that are necessary from the federal level, but also I think if you just look at because we're focused on medical innovation, one of the stories that has not, you know with everything else that we're addressing and dealing with, is the really incredible process that has gone on through Operation Warp Speed put in place by President Trump and the task force at the White House. We know the story, we all hear the news about the vaccines that have been developed, those clearly have been developed because of medical innovation. But I think the untold story that's not getting enough credit is the distribution system that's been set up. The White House really focused on this, and one of the reasons I think it's so important is because it is a partnership between the military and the American private sector.

Chris Stewart (R-UT), and Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI), introduced the American Financial Markets Integrity and Security Act. This bill would prohibit any Chinese companies from accessing U.S. capital markets if they are listed on the U.S. Department of Commerce Entity List or the U.S. Department of Defense list of Communist Chinese military companies. In addition to prohibiting these companies from being listed on securities exchanges, this bill would also prohibit investment from investment companies, insurance companies, and retirement funds. ClickHEREfor bill text. The Chinese Communist Party regularly breaches America's shores to steal our intellectual property, engage in espionage, feed off our markets, and more, said Rep. Cheney. The U.S. must counter the CCP's efforts to take advantage of our free and open system here at home, in addition to doing all we can to counter the CCP's malign activities abroad. This legislation is a critical step toward making sure that CCP military companies can no longer exploit U.S. markets in support of China's pernicious power projection, nuclear build-up, grave human rights abuses, and other malign activities. U.S. capital markets are the envy of the world. Access to these markets is a privilege and we should be under no obligation to allow our adversaries, that intend to do us harm, access, said Rep. Stewart. This bill protects our markets from exploitation and bans companies with ties to the CCP and their military, espionage, and human rights abuses. The Chinese Communist Party is engaged in a relentless campaign to dominate the critical technologies of tomorrow. Unfortunately, it receives unwitting assistance from many Americans who have no idea their hard-earned investments are directly financing many of these malign actors,said Rep. Gallagher.This legislation builds on the President's actions against Communist Chinese military companies last week, and takes decisive… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Today, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, issued the following statement on the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency's (OCC) release of a proposed rule to ensure fair access to bank services, capital, and credit. The radical left wants to impose purity tests on bank lending to legal, constitutional activities that employ our friends and neighbors. That's wrong, and that's un-American. We've seen these dangerous abuses in Operation Chokepoint. The action that the OCC is taking today will guarantee fair access to capital for all American industries. OCC's action will put a stop to left-wing abuses of power and discrimination against lawful businesses. It's a timely reminder that the Second Amendment is a foundational American right. It's a recognition that Wyoming energy continues to provide affordable, reliable power to our homes. I applaud Acting Comptroller Brooks for his principled stand for American values. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Enzi said the hearing was the first time in the Senate he had had heard explanations from health officials about the critical nature of early treatments for COVID-19. People aren't looking for next year's answer, they're looking for this year's answer, Enzi said. I see a real state of panic, mostly because they think until the vaccine comes out there is no answer. Hearing panelist Dr. George Fareed, a medical director and family medicine specialist, highlighted the benefit of treatment cocktails that can help when someone tests positive for COVID-19. Fareed said these cocktail options are extremely well tolerated and are available with a doctor's prescription. He noted that some countries are dispensing packets that patients can bring home off the shelf that can help with early treatment of COVID-19. Dr. Peter McCullough, vice chief of Internal Medicine at Baylor University Medical Center, said there is a treatment algorithm that has been peer-reviewed by a journal listed in the National Library of Medicine. This is the best available science, McCullough said. McCullough said there is evidence to support each component of the treatment algorithm. He added that it's crucial for everyone to take this pandemic seriously so we can avoid mass mortality in the coming weeks. I appreciate all this information on early treatment, Enzi said. Some of it works, some of it doesn't. That's with everything that we know about when you get sick. But when people are thinking maybe they will die, they want some kind of solution. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

I am pleased to hear F.E. Warren will be one of the newest homes to the more modern MH-139 Grey Wolf helicopter, Enzi said. These helicopters are faster and more advanced aircrafts, which will help ensure our Air Force can successfully carry out its missions and keep our country safe. Our men and women in uniform deserve nothing but the very best. I'm pleased Wyoming's F.E. Warren Air Force Base will receive the new MH-139 Grey Wolf helicopters and new construction funding.

Excerpts of Senator Barrasso's remarks: I come to the floor today to talk about what the voters of America told the elected representatives in Washington in the election earlier this month. There has been a lot of analysis about what happened this year in the elections. Who got what right. Who got what wrong. We've had the pollsters and the prognosticators and the pundits they're already taking a beating for their many wrong predictions. The American people, in states all across this country, and certainly in Wyoming, rejected this far left agenda. They saw what Democrats were offering, and they said, No thank you.' Voters looked at the violent left-wing protests that have wrecked large cities and small cities across the country. People saw the death, the injuries, the destruction of property. Americans went to the polls and said, No, thank you.' They rejected Democrat calls to defund the police, rebuffed Democrat threats to pack the Supreme Court and said no to one-size-fits-all government run health care. They snubbed the Democrats' embrace of the Green New Deal, rejected this far-left plan to end American energy production and basically, Americans said No.' Many Democrats ran on this far-left agenda. They lost, despite spending hundreds of millions of dollars to try to convince Americans otherwise. Democrats must be saying to themselves, What did we get wrong?'

Excerpts of Senator Barrasso's remarks: I come to the floor today to talk about the work of my good friend and colleague, the junior senator from Georgia, Senator Kelly Loeffler. Republicans, including the senator from Georgia, continue to put forward solutions to address one of our country's most pressing problems, and that, of course, is health care. As a doctor, I recognize that health care remains a top priority for families all across this great country. Senator Loeffler also knows how important health care is to families not just across her state of Georgia but to families all around America. She has a proposal. It is called Modernizing Americans' Health Care. This plan is another example of the important contributions that she is making here in the Senate to the wellbeing of the entire nation. Her plan emphasizes that Americans with pre-existing conditions must be protected. My colleague is absolutely right. Everyone knows someone with a pre-existing condition. My own wife, Bobbi, is a breast cancer survivor. She's had three operations. She's had chemotherapy twice. She has now survived that cancer by over 15 years. That's a pre-existing condition. Let there be no doubt, Republicans will always make sure that patients are able to get insurance, regardless of their medical condition. Senator Loeffler's plan also recognizes the need for more insurance choices. Americans need the coverage that works for them and their families. It should be available, affordable and appropriate for them, what they need, not what the government says they have to have. So families ne… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

We've just come from our leadership elections and the feeling in the room and the enthusiasm and the excitement about where we are and about the hard work ahead of us, but the momentum and the energy to get that work done, has been really remarkable. We have a tremendous class of incoming Members, many of whom themselves have fought these challenges that we're fighting now. We've got four Members of the incoming class who were born, whose families came to the United States from socialist countries, who have lived first-hand what it means when the government takes power away from the people and when people lose their freedom. We are all absolutely committed to continue to fight against that, to make sure that the kinds of results that we saw in the House across this country are replicated and expanded. We also are committed to making sure that we do the work the American people have sent us here to do. As the Leader and the Whip said, the Speaker time and time again has proven that she's more concerned with placating the far-left of her party than she is with actually getting things done for the American people whether you're talking about COVID, whether you're talking about health care generally, the extent to which that they've embraced socialism across the board. So, we're committed to doing the work our constituents sent us here to do, doing it together in a unified way so that we can deliver again in a majority in 2022. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

The letter comes after news that the Air Force was considering reductions in the size of the C-130 fleet. The senators wrote to the Armed Services Committee conferees urging them to ensure the final National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) bill adopts House language so that the nation maintains an adequate inventory of C-130 aircraft. Our Air National Guard C-130 flying wings provide nearly half of the Air Force's tactical airlift capability. For more than 50 years, we have brought Americans into combat, provided humanitarian relief around the globe, and supported domestic response throughout the nation. As the Air Force proposes changes to align our force structure with the National Defense Strategy (NDS), it is vitally important we do not trade experience and knowhow in pursuit of expensive, less defined capabilities, the senators wrote. The senators concluded, the ANG C-130 fleet has been the backbone of our tactical airlift capability for a generation. Our ANG wings have built experience and expertise through repeated deployments and domestic operations. Hard choices will be required as we restructure the Air Force to face future foreign and domestic challenges. Therefore, we must make informed, data driven, decisions as we manage the C-130 fleet.

This morning, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) was re-elected chairman of the Senate Republican Conference for the 117th Congress. His remarks after being re-elected are below: I appreciate the opportunity to continue as chairman of the Republican Conference for the next two years. We have four new members, who were part of the conference discussions today. They are great additions, and I'm especially happy to have Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming joining me. She is the first woman elected to the United States Senate from Wyoming, in our 130 years as a state. We still have a couple of races in Georgia. Our candidates are very tough people and they know how to run tough races, and I expect victories there. We did learn some lessons from this election, that there was a rejection of this very liberal approach by the Democrats far to the left, they've rejected defund the police, rejected expanding the size of the Supreme Court beyond the nine, they've rejected forcing us to stop producing American energy. As Republicans we're going to keep talking about the things that we believe people at home believe is important to them, which is getting back to work, getting our kids safely back to school and getting this coronavirus disease behind us. That is what the Republican Conference is going to continue to talk about. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

I know she will put Wyoming first and be a force to be reckoned with in Washington. I also want to congratulate Congresswoman Liz Cheney on her re-election to the House of Representatives. Along with Senator John Barrasso, our state will have a powerful trio serving us in Congress. There's a lot of interest and attention focused on the top of the ballot, and rightly so, but it's important to remember that governing happens at the local level. Our county commissioners, city council, school board members those are the people who shape our communities, and I applaud everyone who had the courage to put their name on a ballot this year. As we move forward, our country has no shortage of problems we need to address. Some are out of our control, but many are of our own making. If my experience over the years has taught me anything, it is that we will never be able to tackle these challenges unless we find common areas of agreement first and work to solve those problems together. I only have a few weeks left as a U.S. Senator, but I remain a proud American citizen and I look forward to helping serve my country in other ways as I enter this new chapter of my life. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

States like Wyoming have shown they are able to effectively manage the gray wolf. It is important to remember that the purpose of the Endangered Species Act is to get to this point, where a species is fully recovered. I am hopeful that even more species in the future will be able to reach this milestone. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

The letter was led by U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va. Specifically, the senators asked Administrator Wheeler to use his statutory authorities under theClean Air Actto citesevere economic harm and employ a general waiver to not increase the RVO for 2021.Given that COVID-19 has suppressed demand for gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel, any increase in the mandate would cause severe and outsized economic harm next year by raising costs for consumers, particularly at the gas pump, they said. Additionally, the letter urges the EPA to not reallocate prior year obligations that would increase burdens on refiners of all sizes, including small refiners. Any increase in blending volumes mandated under the RFS, especially an expansion of the 2021 RVO, would ultimately impact American consumers forced to bear the associated costs, creating another drag on a national economy that is in a state of fragile recovery from the depths of the pandemic. It is essential that you use all available statutory authorities to see to it that these unnecessary impacts are avoided,the senators wrote.

WASHINGTON, D.C. Recently, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-WY) spoke on the Senate floor about the need to confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court despite Democrats' false attacks and scare tactics. Excerpts of Senator Barrasso's remarks: I come to the floor today also in support of the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to serve on the United States Supreme Court. I'll tell you, she's terrific, so impressive, so exceptionally well qualified to take on this new responsibility. The partisanship that she has faced from Democrats, it's predictably backfired on them, certainly by the American people who say get her confirmed, put her on the Supreme Court. That is what they saw when they watched the hearings last week, somebody who is ready to serve our nation and apply the law, not legislate from the bench. This is an important moment in our history. Judge Barrett, the Senate, the American people deserved a hearing that matched the moment and that highlighted her qualifications and capabilities. Regrettably, Americans got a weeklong lecture by Democrats which turned out to be often a partisan infomercial on Obamacare. This is a law that, 10 years on, Democrats are still trying to explain to the American people. They are still trying to explain all these millions and millions of people who lost their health insurance, still trying to explain millions and millions of people whose costs went up - more than doubled. Judge Barrett is very clear, has been clear. She has no agenda, for any case. As a judge, she considers each case on the merits. There's only one real explanation for Democrats' fixation on Obamacare during a Supreme Court hearing. They're trying to score political points, appeal to their far-left base before… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

The measure failed with a 51-44 vote along party lines. This package would have provided real relief for folks across the country, like providing more funding for the Paycheck Protection Program and supporting childcare providers, Enzi said. It's disappointing that the Senate cannot come together and move forward on ideas that I think both sides support. The American people are looking to us for help and all we are delivering is stagnation. I hope we can get to work to provide the assistance needed to weather this pandemic before our constituents and the economy suffer even more. The relief package would have re-opened and re-funded the Paycheck Protection Program for certain small businesses, along with providing an additional $300 per week in unemployment benefits, more funding for vaccines and testing, liability protection for schools and businesses, assistance for scholarship granting organizations and funding to help childcare providers reopen and stay open. It also included a provision intended to reduce America's reliance on China and other nations for critical minerals, including rare earth minerals. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Today, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, issued the following statement after Senate Democrats once again blocked cloture on a coronavirus relief bill. Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi have made it clear that they will continue to block coronavirus relief. They think it gives them a better chance of winning the election. This is a calculated political decision by Democrats in Congress. The American people deserve better from people who claim to represent them. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Click here to watch Sen. Barrasso's remarks. WASHINGTON, D.C. Today, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-WY) spoke on the Senate floor about Democrats' continued effort to block coronavirus relief legislation if it does not meet their list of political demands. Senator Barrasso also commended Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) for her work on paycheck protection to aid small businesses. Excerpts of Senator Barrasso's remarks: First, I would like to commend my colleague, the Senator from Maine, for her absolute unquestioned leadership in this issue of paycheck protection. She knows in Maine, as I do in Wyoming, the importance of small businesses to our communities, to our main streets, to the vitality of our economies. She has led the fight from the beginning of coronavirus to make sure our businesses would remain viable, that they would have opportunities to keep people on the payroll, that they could continue to contribute to their communities. She was the one that brought up this idea at the first place, shepherded it all the way through the Congress as part of the Cares Act and continues in that leadership role today. I come here, today, on the floor to first commend my colleague from Maine and also to talk about the ongoing fight against coronavirus and the plan forward guided by data and doctors to put the disease behind us and let all of these small businesses to continue to strive and to thrive. Those in the fight against the virus, and I talk to you as a doctor now, continue to hold our respect and our admiration. They are doing remarkable work in community hospitals and clinics all around the country. Across the country, as a result of the PPP program, our main streets are getting a little busier, our economy is gaining strength, kids are going back to school and even some football is being played.

Some have even started to plan where they will retire and what trips they will take. However, it's crucial for everyone to actually plan for how they can afford it, and the sooner that planning starts the better. Unfortunately the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted many of these goals and plans for Americans. Right now, only half of workers (48%) have calculated how much to save for a comfortable retirement, according to a 2020 Retirement Confidence Survey by the Employee Benefit Research Institute. Earlier this year, the Senate unanimously passed my resolution declaring October as National Retirement Security Month. It is intended to raise awareness of personal financial literacy and encourage people to start planning for their future. Let this month act as a reminder to set aside time and maybe even talk to professionals. It's important for folks to stay educated and informed on your retirement savings your future will depend on it. This month, I encourage everyone to work toward securing a future that is more than just comfortable. Find out what gaps are in your current plans. A good place to start is to research different options, understand the financial steps needed and commit to taking your retirement goals seriously. If needed, there is an online small business retirement tool to help educate employers on retirement savings options. Advisors are available at the national level from the Department of Labor and the IRS to local levels like the Wyoming Small Business Development Center. Set a strategy, whether it be a traditional retirement fund, like an IRA and 401(k), a pension system, or other personal saving accounts. For small business owners, I urge you to factor in your exit strategy and whether you plan to sell your business or stay involved once you've decided to retire. Visit the IRS website for more information on how to pick a retirement plan, maintain a plan and even how to correct an error i… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Listen to the interview here,and see an excerpt of the transcript below: REECE MONACO:With the coronavirus relief and stimulus, the President earlier this week said, You know what, we're going to stop talks until after the election,' and now he's saying Okay, well if you can bring me maybe a standalone type of bill or something, stimulus that might include the $1,200 payments' that's something that he would sign. Is that something that needs to be done or is this going to be shut down until after the election? REP. LIZ CHENEY:You know, I hope not. I think that what we've seen over the course of the last 36 hours or so since the President said the negotiations were going to stop, it reset things. I think Speaker Pelosi is facing real pressure from a number of her [Democrat] members who are in vulnerable seats, who have had to go home and explain to their constituents why it is they haven't been able, with the majority, to pass the additional necessary relief. So, I am hopeful that the combination of putting additional pressure on Speaker Pelosi, being able to pull out some of the discrete standalone kinds of assistance programs people need, and the work, of course, of Leader McConnell over on the Senate side, that we will be able to get something moving, I hope. The Speaker at every opportunity has chosen the partisan approach over actually getting something done which is one of the biggest reasons why we've got to make sure she's not Speaker for very much longer. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Watch Rep. Cheney's remarks from the ceremony here,and see the transcript below: REP. LIZ CHENEY:It's really a tremendous honor to be able to be here today with Secretary Wilke and Under Secretary Reeves, Governor Mark Gordon, and all of you, and a special honor and privilege to be here to help dedicate this sacred ground. There is really nothing that I do as Wyoming's Representative that is more important to me and more important to our state and our country than the work that we do on behalf of our veterans and on behalf of those who are currently serving in our Armed Forces.Across the country, certainly in Washington, we all know and recognize that the freedoms that we enjoy, the freedoms that we are able to exercise every single day, we only are able to do that because of brave men and women like you who have stepped forward, who have answered the call, and who put on the uniform of this nation.There are many veteran cemeteries across this country, including cemeteries on battlefields, particularly Civil War battlefields, and there's one in particular at Antietam. At the cemetery at Antietam, there's a statue of a Union soldier who stands at rest and he looks out over the graves of his colleagues, his brothers who fell in that battle. And the inscription on that statue says, Not for themselves, but for their country. I think that is something that we all need to pause every day, and particularly on a day like today when we're here to commemorate, to dedicate this cemetery, that it is because of the selfless service of all of you that we live in freedom.It's a call that generations since the beginning of our Republic have answered, the call that future generations will have to answer.I know that I, and all of Wyoming's elected lea… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Time and again, we have watched her block relief, refuse to negotiate, and delay progress. Instead, she repeatedly introduces partisan bills that have no chance of passage. The Democrats are wasting invaluable time and turning their backs on the American people. We should be providing assistance to families, workers, small businesses, agriculture and energy producers in Wyoming and across America. Instead, Speaker Pelosi has introduced legislation layered up with trillions in runaway spending that funds Green New Deal-style programs, sends taxpayer-money to illegal immigrants, and changes election law to rig the process for Democrats. While throwing money at a slew of far-left proposals, the Speaker still managed to find a way in this bill to cut money for our law enforcement officials, building on the Democrats' commitment to defund the police. Speaker Pelosi has fundamentally failed America and her decision to stand in the way of a commonsense relief bill is the latest example of that. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Enzi hopes the month will encourage Americans to take steps toward securing their futures by exploring various retirement vehicles and increasing personal financial literacy. Planning for retirement can seem daunting, but it is one of the best things you can do for your future, Enzi said. I urge everyone to evaluate your personal retirement goals and take advantage of resources available to ensure you're on track to reach those goals. If the COVID-19 pandemic led you to reevaluate your finances, remember to include retirement in all aspects of planning for the future. The Employee Benefit Research Institute found that the amount workers have saved for retirement is much less than the amount those workers need to adequately fund their retirement years. The resolution was cosponsored by U.S. Senators Ben Cardin, D-Md., Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., Susan Collins, R-Maine, Maggie Hassan D-N.H., Patty Murray, D-Wash., and Todd Young, R-Ind. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

The final report, which includes more than 400 recommendations,highlights the importance of ongoing increased funding for the U.S. Department of Defense, including for a modernized nuclear triad, sea and air power, cutting edge capabilities in space, cyberspace, and other emerging technologies, and acquisitions and military construction projects necessary to deter the CCP's malign behavior on the world stage.The full report can be found here and an executive summary can be found here. Watch the video of Rep. Cheney's remarks here, and see the transcript below: REP. LIZ CHENEY:Thank you very much, Whip Scalise. I want to join in thanking our leader, Kevin McCarthy, for putting this task force together and the leader of the task force Chairman McCaul in leading us, the staff who helped us make sure that in such a timely fashion we were able to put together a report that touches on every aspect of the threat this nation faces with respect to China. At a moment where we are facing, I think, what is a generational threat, it is too bad that the Democrats refused to join us on this report. As the Leader said, two-thirds of the recommendations in here are bipartisan, and in order for us to defeat the threat from China, we've got to work in a bipartisan fashion. So, we call on Speaker Pelosi and the Democrats once again to stop putting their personal political interests ahead of the interests of the security of this country and join us in helping to put in place some of these recommendations.

Excerpts of Senator Barrasso's remarks: I come to the floor today to discuss the president's historic choice for the U.S. Supreme Court. The president has nominated Judge Amy Coney Barrett of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. She would fill the vacancy left by the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. This is a powerful and positive appointment by President Trump. Judge Barrett is a brilliant jurist. She has a stellar record, and she has a solid character. She will serve as a role model for an entire generation in the legal profession. She has already been vetted by the Senate. She was vetted and received bipartisan support when she was confirmed three years ago to her current court position. Well, that's the definition of highly qualified. She embodies the qualities that the American people want in a justice. Now, the American people want fair justices. They want justices who know that their job is to apply the law, not legislate from the bench. That's what people in my home state of Wyoming talked about this past weekend when I was visiting at home. That's what the people of Wyoming want. They want Judge Barrett, and she is committed, through her time in the legal profession and on the bench, to these very values. So here in the Senate, in this body, we have a job to do, and that is to offer advice and consent. We will hold fair hearings. And we will hold a timely floor vote on Judge Barrett's nomination.

Today, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, issued the following statement on the president's nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to serve as an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. My congratulations to Judge Barrett and her family. I look forward to reviewing her judicial record and other writings and following her confirmation hearings. This is a historic choice by the president. Judge Barrett is a highly qualified nominee. She will apply the law, not legislate from the bench. This Senate will give Judge Barrett full and fair consideration, and a timely vote on the Senate floor. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Noting the significant economic benefits the Project will provide to surrounding communities and the state of Wyoming, the letter highlights how the EIS process has taken more than six years, with the original Notice of Intent having been filed in May 2014.If approved, the proposed 5,000-well Project, which allows for year-round drilling, could generate up to 8,000 jobs and approximately$18-$28 billion in federal revenues which would be shared with Wyoming.

WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Senators John Barrasso (R-WY) and Martin Heinrich (D-NM) recently introduced S. 4694, the Russian Suspension Agreement Extension Act of 2020. The legislation extends and expands limits on Russian uranium imports. Barrasso and Heinrich's bill is cosponsored by Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Joe Manchin (D-WV), Jim Risch (R-ID), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Kevin Cramer (R-ND), and Tom Cotton (R-AR). Russia continues to undercut Wyoming's uranium producers by flooding the market with cheap nuclear fuel, said Barrasso. Vladimir Putin and his satellite states are using uranium as a geo-political weapon. This is a threat to both our energy security and national security. The Trump administration is taking important steps to stop them. Our bipartisan legislation will codify those actions in law. It will also help revive and strengthen American uranium production. I look forward to working with members on both sides of the aisle to get this legislation passed. The Russian Suspension Agreement Extension Act of 2020 will: Reduce reliance on Russian uranium imports in order to protect national security; Strengthen the supply chain for nuclear fuel produced in the United States; Close loopholes that hurt American uranium producers; and Require the secretary of Energy to submit a report updating Congress on the steps being taken to accurately measure uranium imports. Read the legislation here. Background: On September 14, 2020, Barrasso released a statement on the Department of Commerce's preliminary deal to limit Russian uranium imports through 2040. The Department of Commerce previously found the Russian Federation was undercutting the uranium market, which harms America's uranium producers. On May 20, 2020, Barrasso and Sens.

CBO's updated budget projections confirmed what we all knew, that the economic disruption caused by COVID-19 and the federal government's response have led to a surge in deficits and debt, said Chairman Enzi. In response to the pandemic and the ensuing lockdowns, we came together on a bipartisan basis to enact the largest relief package in U.S. history. We worked to alleviate the financial devastation. And it helped, but at great cost. Enzi noted that a lack of attention to our increased national debt means there is less flexibility to deal with any future crisis. CBO estimates the legislation enacted in response to the pandemic so far will cost roughly $2.8 trillion, adding to our already high and rising national debt. Over time, CBO says that our growing debt will result in higher borrowing costs, lower output, and an increased risk of a fiscal crisis. Higher interest payments on the debtwhich CBO projects will be larger than any single program by 2050could also make it harder for lawmakers to respond to future emergencies. Deficit spending and the national debt were unsustainable before the pandemic, Chairman Enzi said. We must address these challenges before they become the next crisis or prevent future policymakers from dealing with new unforeseen emergencies. We cannot continue running trillion-dollar annual deficits forever. The longer we wait, the more severe the changes and challenges will be, and the fewer options we will have. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

The House legislation is a companion to a bill Enzi and Hassan introduced in July. The Safeguarding Therapeutics Act would give the Food and Drug Administration authority to seize and destroy counterfeit medical devices and products, including COVID-19 tests and vaccines, as well as combination products like EpiPens. Counterfeit tests and medical products can be harmful to consumers and it is especially important as we continue to face the COVID-19 pandemic to protect patients and have confidence in our health care system, Enzi said. I urge my colleagues in the Senate to pass this important, commonsense bill so we can help keep Americans safe from these fake products. In the midst of an unprecedented public health crisis, Granite Staters and Americans must be certain that medical supplies are safe and effective, Hassan said. I am glad that the House passed this commonsense, bipartisan bill to protect patients from counterfeit medical products, and I urge the Senate to bring this legislation to the floor for a vote. This House bill was introduced by Representatives Brett Guthrie, R-Ky., and Eliot Engel, D-N.Y. It now awaits passage in the Senate. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Enzi noted that some of the vaccines in Phase III testing need to be stored at temperatures as low as negative 94 degrees Fahrenheit. He said many facilities do not have the specialized freezers necessary to store the vaccine, especially in cash-strapped or rural areas. Some of the vaccines in Phase III testing would evidently need to be stored at extremely cold temperature that's even by Wyoming standards, Enzi said. Very few, if any, freezers even go that cold. How can we ensure sufficient freezer and storage capacity so that access to the vaccine is not limited by infrastructure concerns? Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Robert Redfield said the CDC would work to distribute the vaccine in an equitable and fair way. He said over the upcoming weeks, there will need to be strategies that will fill the gaps for proper cold storage and that the CDC is committed to making sure the distribution happens in an equitable way. Redfield also assured Enzi that the CDC is working to ensure states are prepared to distribute a vaccine once it is approved, including sharing best practices and working to create micro-plans for different areas of the country. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

First of all, the Supreme Court nomination, we are obviously very focused and unified behind the President nominating. We're going to be following what's happening in the Senate closely they ought to move to confirm quickly. We think that the American people have spoken in terms of this election cycle. The President has the constitutional obligation, responsibility to name a Justice and we anticipate and are hearing he will do so. It's critically important to recognize the lasting legacy of this President's nominations to the Supreme Court and also to the lower courts. It's been really in coordination with the Senate, a tremendous set of progress and achievements naming judges and Justices who understand the role of the courts is to interpret the law, not to make law, as well as Justices who are committed to the original intent of the Constitution and upholding that. We're also working closely, obviously we know the American people are in need of additional COVID relief, the extent to which we have watched this Speaker, time and time again, choose the very most partisan approach with respect to relief packages, putting packages on the floor that she knows will not pass the Senate, she knows will not end up at the President's desk and, therefore, will not help the American people. At a moment when people's lives are on the line, at a moment when people's livelihoods are on the line, she… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Video of her remarks and the transcripts are included below: H.R. 895, Tribal School Federal Insurance Parity Act: REP. LIZ CHENEY:I rise in support of H.R. 895. As it was just described, this bill would enable tribal grant school employees to participate in the Federal Health Benefits program. Under current law, Bureau of Indian Education employees and tribally-managed schools operating under a self-determination contract are already eligible for this benefit. It is time that we help tribal grant schoolteachers. This bill will not only to provide parity for the benefits that employees receive at other schools serving Native children, but it will help keep essential monies focused on education itself. I want to thank the sponsor of the legislation, Congressman Dusty Johnson, for his thoughtful leadership on this issue. This stand-alone legislation will go a long way to help tribal grant schools during the COVID-19 recovery period and beyond. I am disappointed however Mr. Speaker that the Democrat Majority has refused to act on S. 886, the Indian Water Rights Settlement Extension Act. S. 886 includes the text of this bill and would also help tribes in one of the hardest hit COVID-19 regions of the country, the Navajo Nation, which has cited lack of water as a complication for fending off this deadly virus.S. 886 addresses this very issue by ensuring better access to water for the Tribe. Unfortunately, the Majority has let this water settlement agreement for the Navajo collect dust it has been 90 days since the Senate passed this bipartisan bill and despite repeated requests for its consideration, the Democrats have taken no action to see this critical agreement enacted into law.

Congresswoman, could you listen to Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House, she was on MSNBC earlier talking about Republicans. SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI:They're going to be paying this price for elections to come elections to come. Everyone is looking at what makes a difference with these Senatorial races, we'll see, but what they don't really understand is, they're going to see 2018 again and again and again in terms of defeats in the Congress. PERINO:Does she have that wrong? REP. LIZ CHENEY:Absolutely, she does, Dana. I think the fact that the Democrats are even suggesting that they might move again to impeach the President when he is going to exercise his constitutional duty of naming somebody to the Supreme Court, tells you how desperate they are. This President has named judges that believe in the Constitution, that believe in the adherence to the Constitution, that know that judges are supposed to interpret the law and not make law, that's what he's going to do again with this appointment. He absolutely will do it, and I anticipate that the Senate will bring it up and will confirm the nominee, and I look forward to that. PERINO:What do you think the consequences for the Democrats talking about court packing or even, of course you know, you're from Wyoming, trying to abolish the Electoral College because they're so offended that small states, small population states, have influence and power as the Constitution requires?

Today, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) questioned Ashok Michael Pinto, President Trump's nominee to be the United States alternate executive director of the World Bank's lending arm, the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development. Barrasso pressed Pinto on the World Bank's anti-fossil fuels policies, China's predatory lending, and the World Bank using American tax dollars to lend to China. Pinto testified at today's Senate Committee on Foreign Relations nomination hearing. On All of the Above Energy Strategy: First, I want to talk about an all of the above energy strategy. Global philanthropist Bill Gates explains that: Increasing access to electricity is critical to lifting the world's poor out of poverty.' Worldwide, there are just short of a billion people who are today living without electricity. They can't cook or heat their homes safely, can't do it reliably. Nearly three billion people still rely on wood and waste for household energy. People living in poor and developing nations, they want and need a stable energy supply. It's about energy today for them. They are looking for power generation that provides energy security, it helps create jobs, and it improves their livestheir lives today. I believe traditional fuels are a vital tool to help people escape poverty. Yet, over the past few years, the World Bank has been imposing restrictions on the financing of traditional energy projects. Last year, I led a dozen senators in a letter urging the World Bank to immediately lift these harmful restrictions. My letter, of course, was to World Bank President David Malpass. It was co-signed by Senators Boozman, Capito, Cotton, Cramer, Cruz, Enzi, Hoeven, Johnson, Kennedy, Murkowski and Thune. Together we pressed the bank to recommit to an all-of-the-above energy strategy. To achieve its mission, the World Bank really, I believe, must embrace, not exclude, affordable energy resources. Ultimately, the solution to energy poverty doesn't lie in limiting options but in us… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
