The Biden administration needs to stop worshipping at the altar of climate change.   We must do everything in our power to produce more American energy. #SOTU 

Fact: Since President Biden took office, the price of gas is up 37.55%, natural gas is up 47.31% and electricity is up 21.30%. #SOTU 

Fact: Drug overdoses, largely driven by fentanyl, are now the leading cause of death for young adults age 18 to 45. This is due in part to President Biden’s failure to rein in the crisis at our southern border. #SOTU 

There is a crisis at our Southern Border. I'm introducing legislation with @SenKatieBritt  to take steps to address illegal immigration and protect our border.

Anticompetitive behavior in the meat packing industry hurts both consumers and producers. I’ve introduced the Meatpacking Special Investigator Act with @SenatorTester  @ChuckGrassley  to fight consolidation and enforce our nation’s anti-trust laws.

Today, we honor the presidents of our country. While none of them were perfect, they were all real people, and they helped to form our country. Our goal is still to create a more perfect Union. Happy Presidents Day!

South Dakota ranch families work tirelessly to produce the safest, highest quality and most affordable beef in the world. Producer’s livelihoods are being compromised by Brazilian beef imports that fail to meet our country’s food safety and animal health standards. (1/2)

Only beef born, raised and processed in the United States should receive the “Product of USA” label. It’s time to protect consumers and producers.

For years, we’ve called on the USDA to take action to stop foreign beef from receiving the ‘Product of USA’ label. I’ve met with Secretary Vilsack, introduced legislation since 2019 and submitted multiple comments to USDA. Today, our work is finally paying off.

Looking forward to seeing @LeaderMcConnell  back in floor action as soon as possible. Wishing him a speedy recovery and keeping him our prayers.
