The State of our
Union is Weak





President Biden said in his State
of the Union address that he has done more in three years than
most presidents do in two terms, and I agree.

He has created more inflation,
allowed record numbers of illegal immigrants to enter our country
and spent trillions more on Green New Deal nonsense than any
president ever has, and hopefully ever will.

The reckless borrowing and
spending of trillions of dollars, or Bidenomics, has created the
worst inflation crisis in 40 years and is costing the average
Wyoming household more than $1,100 more each month.
When it comes to the border,
President Biden inherited a secure border and chose to allow
murderous drug cartels to turn it into a turnstile for illegal
aliens and deadly drugs. As a result, more than nine million
illegal aliens and enough fentanyl to kill every person in this
country several times over have come across the southwest border
since President Biden entered office.

An open border is a choice, and
the result has been a complete and unmitigated disaster.

Wyoming could power our country
and allow us to be energy independent, but President Biden has
chosen to instead push Green New Deal nonsense that is driving up
the cost of living and crushing good paying jobs in our state.

President Biden was an arsonist
masquerading as a fireman last night.

From the border crisis to the
sky-high cost of living caused by inflation, President Biden can
try to pass blame and play the hero, but the people of Wyoming
are not fooled.

Happy Trails,









Senator Lummis' Week in Pictures















I spoke with the Wyoming
legislature on the work I am doing in Washington to fight back
against President Biden's open-borders madness, Green New Deal
agenda and reckless spending.











I even got to speak with the
interns after to reflect upon my memories as an intern in
Cheyenne.











This week, we had the largest
Wyoming Wednesday that I can remember.











Thank you to everyone who came
out!












I had the honor of meeting
Laramie High School senior Grace Zhou and Glenrock High School
junior Casey Toner who were in Washington representing Wyoming in
the U.S. Senate Youth Program (USSYP).












The USSYP assembles the brightest
high school students from across the country for an incredible
week-long conference in our nation's capital.

Legislative Actions:

For far too long, the
Biden administration has catered to climate extremists inside the
D.C. beltway by passing extreme environmental policies that hurt
Wyoming. This week, I submitted a series of amendments to the
'minibus' spending package that will prioritize Wyoming and roll
back the Biden administration's outrageous Green New Deal
policies.

The amendments
include:

Prohibiting the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Department of Energy
(DOE) from promulgating or finalizing rules unless it is
determined that the rule in question will not raise consumer
prices.

This would
protect consumers by ending unnecessary environmental regulations
that raise energy prices will prevent people in Wyoming from
facing additional price hikes at the pump.


Prohibiting the
use of public money to fund "eco-grief" training to U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service employees.

We are $34
trillion in debt. Wyoming taxpayers should absolutely not be
paying for federal bureaucrats to attend a Green New Deal
struggle session.


Prohibiting the
use of funds for developing or implementing a proposed national
recovery plan for gray wolves.

Wyoming and
other western states have done a great job of developing
state-based solutions to manage gray wolf populations and do not
need the federal government to come in and muck things up.


Prohibiting funds
from being used to enact the Biden administration's Endangered
Species Act reforms.

The
Endangered Species Act is broken and the Biden administration's
'reforms' would create more senseless regulations burdening
Wyoming businesses and land owners without helping endangered
species.


Prohibiting the
use of funds to carry out cashless entrance fee policies at U.S.
National Parks.

Having a
credit card should not be a requirement to enjoy the great
outdoors, and cash should be accepted at all U.S. National Parks.
Last year, I
introduced the Protect Access to Recreation with Cash (PARC) Act,
which requires the National Park Service to accept cash as a form
of payment for entrance fees.

IN WYOMING



Media:
I joined Neil Cavuto
on Fox Business to discuss the disconnect between Washington and
Wyoming when it comes to the economy. While the president tries
to say Bidenomics is working, the people of Wyoming are still
seeing sky-high prices when they buy groceries, fill up their car
with gas and pay their mortgage or rent.

the full interview.
Working for Wyoming:
Once again, Congress
rammed through a bloated spending bill packed with pork and
handouts to special interests. Despite the eye-popping price tag,
the bill fails to solve the crisis at our southwest border and
kicks the can down the road on the more than $34 trillion
national debt.

I voted against this
funding bill because we cannot continue borrowing trillions and
burying future generations in Wyoming under a mountain of debt
they will never be able to crawl out from under. As the sponsor
of the Sustainable Budget Act, which seeks to establish a
bipartisan commission to balance the budget, I remain committed
to working to find a real solution to fix our nation's fiscal
woes. It is just plain wrong to run up the tab and stick future
generations with the bill.


News Around Wyoming:


Bears Start Waking Up
In Wyoming In March, But Not Much Activity Yet
Cowboy State Daily
The earliest risers
among Wyoming's bears generally start coming out of their dens in
March, but there's been only a little activity so far this year.

"As the calendars
turn to March, we do expect to see a few early risers here and
there as the month progresses," Dan Thompson, Wyoming Game and
Fish Department large carnivore specialist, told Cowboy State
Daily.

Pokes fans knew Frank
Crum would proudly ride for the brand in Indianapolis.

But perhaps not as
fast as the Laramie legend went in the Sunday spotlight at the
NFL Scouting Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium.



Those Giant 400-Ton
Buckets For Mining Trucks Are Built In Mills, Wyoming
Cowboy State Daily
For grown-up boys who
remember their Tonka toys, the sight of a yellow truck body that
can haul hundreds of tons at a time will turn heads and rock
memories.

But the humongous
20-foot-high, 24-foot-wide, and 50-foot-long buckets for giant
mining trucks that come out of a company in Mills, Wyoming, are
certainly no toys. And it takes a lot of effort to make and ship
them.















GRANT OPPORTUNITIES FOR WYOMING






The U.S. Department of
Agriculture announced it is extending its application deadline
for the Rural Energy for America Technical Assistance Grant

WYOMING SHOUT OUT






Wrestling requires a lot of
toughness, grit and commitment, qualities that many people in
Wyoming share and value. So, it should come as no surprise that
the Western Wyoming Mustangs once again won the title at the
National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCCA) Men's
Wrestling Championships. Cody Phelps, who won the 133-pound
title, and seven other Western Wyoming wrestlers earned
All-American status and powered the team to 161 points to finish
first, ahead of runner-up Iowa Central that had 139.5 points.

Congratulations to Western
Wyoming Wrestling Coach Art Castillo and the whole team for once
again achieving the pinnacle of success in their sport!
