During his speech to the joint session of Congress this week, President Trump laid out a clear vision for America: a Golden Age, where our government once again puts the American people first, and prioritizes safety and prosperity. For far too long, American leaders sent aid abroad, while ignoring the hardships and concerns of citizens at home. In just six weeks, President Trump has achieved an astonishing amount for our country. He’s secured our southern border, begun to roll back burdensome energy regulations to boost American energy production, and saved billions of taxpayer dollars. The president did not make promises just to secure victory, he is fulfilling every single one of them.

During his remarks, President Trump delivered a bold, forward-looking vision for our nation, supported by the brave men and women, boys and girls who embody the American dream. While Republicans celebrated securing our border and protecting women’s sports, Democrats refused to recognize these victories that keep Americans safe. When Republicans stood in solidarity with DJ Daniel and Laken Riley, Democrats remained seated, showing the American people whose side they are on. Our nation is not so far gone that we cannot come together to honor a child battling brain cancer or a young woman whose life was taken too soon. Yet, Democrats in Congress would have the American people believe they’ve lost their compassion.

Four years under the Biden administration left the west in disarray, and President Trump is putting the pieces back together. By declaring an energy emergency, he unlocked Wyoming’s potential to maximize its power production. By securing our southern border, illegal crossings hit a record low, protecting communities throughout the Cowboy State. And by reining in the federal bureaucracy, President Trump is ensuring the government works for the taxpayers who fund it. We have left the dark age behind and are entering a golden era for Wyoming prosperity.

Happy Trails,

We had a great start to Wyoming Wednesdays! There is nothing I enjoy more than hearing from people throughout the Cowboy State about how Senator Barrasso, Representative Hageman, and I can help here in Washington.

I met with the SSA nominee Frank Bisignano to discuss fully staffing offices & bringing reliable Social Security service to every corner of the state.

The Senate DOGE Caucus had a productive meeting with Elon Musk to discuss how Congress can work with the president to deliver on the promises the American people voted for. 

It was wonderful to meet with future EPA Deputy Administrator David Fotouhi! David is experienced and qualified to tackle environmental attacks on the Wyoming way of life.

I led Senator John Barrasso and Representative Harriet Hageman in introducing legislation to rename the National Historic Trails Interpretive Center in Casper the “Barbara L. Cubin National Historic Trails Interpretive Center.” Wyoming, the Equality State, has produced remarkable trailblazers who shaped the path forward for American women, and Barbara Cubin stands firmly among them. As a founding member of the Congressional Western Caucus, Barbara was a powerful voice for our western values. Now, as chair of the Senate counterpart, I’m proud to carry on her legacy as a fierce champion for the Wyoming way of life. This legislation not only commemorates Barbara’s extraordinary decades of public service but also acknowledges the indelible mark she has left on our state and nation.

It was a long Thursday night two weeks ago when Democrats wasted everyone’s time by trying to update the Senate’s budget resolution with amendments that had nothing to do with securing our border, unleashing American energy, and rebuilding our military. Under President Biden’s failed leadership, hardworking families across Wyoming shelled out more of their hard-earned money than ever to keep up with record-breaking inflation and watched as Biden’s policies jeopardized our national security. The budget resolution isn’t perfect, but it is a first step towards securing our southern border, making our military strong again, and unleashing American energy. President Trump promised to deliver peace through strength, and we are ensuring he has the resources necessary to put hardworking Wyoming families first. This first step will be followed by making tax cuts permanent, cutting wasteful spending, and growing our economy.

I also chaired the very first hearing of the Digital Assets Subcommittee where witnesses expressed the need for Congress to provide a clear regulatory framework for digital assets to promote growth and maintain our nation’s reputation as a global leader in financial innovation. We have come a long way since I was elected to the Senate in 2020, when many of the members of this body were still trying to wrap their heads around what a bitcoin is and what a stablecoin is. We are on the precipice of finally creating a bipartisan legislative framework for both stablecoins and market structure. I am hopeful that we can get both pieces of legislation to President Trump for his signature this year.
