Cartels are actively profiting from President Biden’s failed border policies. Stronger policies to secure our southern border, like completion of the border wall, will keep cartels and their vile human smuggling and illicit drugs out of the U.S. — PolitiTweet.org

Was a great honor to discuss the life and legacy of former Gov. Phil Batt with @GovernorLittle, Gov. Otter, and Gov. Kempthorne this morning with @IdahoPTV. Phil was a great mentor and friend. I’ll miss him greatly. https://t.co/ZdVRfA3MbW — PolitiTweet.org

The Biden admin’s egregious WOTUS definition – comparing ditches to rivers & puddles to lakes – will greatly impede on Idaho’s land & waters. The Senate must reverse this dangerous definition that will harm Idaho’s farmers, ranchers, & landowners. — PolitiTweet.org

It's pretty clear to everyone that the president's budget is a mess... “The U.S. has a debt problem. Biden’s budget won’t solve it.” - @PostOpinions Editorial Board “Biden’s budget wants $4.7T more of your money and still grows federal debt by $17T.”- @WSJopinion Editorial Board. — PolitiTweet.org

The @usedgov has failed to address the widespread antisemitism taking place on college campuses & is even allowing taxpayer dollars to fund anti-Semitic events. We must hold the Dept. accountable for making Jewish & pro-Israel students feel less safe. https://t.co/gmb3esz0KB — PolitiTweet.org

It was a pleasure to welcome students from Bonners Ferry to Washington, D.C. yesterday to discuss the future of nuclear energy and how the fentanyl crisis is impacting Idaho communities. https://t.co/q0PtcXOmSV — PolitiTweet.org

Thankfully, Congress can correct the president's error with a budget that reins in spending & targets solutions that provide relief to Idaho families. — PolitiTweet.org

Jim Risch @SenatorRisch

Idahoans cannot afford higher taxes & more out-of-control spending. This admin already spent well beyond its means, resulting in inflation that hurts Idahoans every day. — PolitiTweet.org

Jim Risch @SenatorRisch

Since Biden took office, more than 4.7 million illegal immigrants – double the population of Idaho – have been encountered at the southern border, a direct result of the president’s open border policies. Stronger border policies are the only solution. — PolitiTweet.org

Happy Birthday to my good friend, @RepRussFulcher! I’m proud to work with you to best serve the great state of Idaho! https://t.co/cRr1YyXF8g — PolitiTweet.org

Jim Risch @SenatorRisch

President Biden’s open border policies have catalyzed a full-blown disaster. I’ve introduced the Solving the Border Crisis Act to resume construction of the border wall, extend Title 42, & improve equipment & resources for enforcement & border patrol. https://t.co/bFm8g5oirJ — PolitiTweet.org

Jim Risch @SenatorRisch

Idaho is one of the safest places in the nation. D.C. is one of the most crime ridden. As a former prosecutor, I know that when our laws are not enforced to the fullest extent, our communities suffer. Soft on crime policies don’t work. — PolitiTweet.org

Jim Risch @SenatorRisch

My Treating Tribes and Counties as Good Neighbors Act w/ @RepRussFulcher will empower Tribes & counties to take a leading role in conservation & enable all GNA partners to better manage our forests & reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires. https://t.co/3z7jXalm2V — PolitiTweet.org

Jim Risch @SenatorRisch

In Idaho, the Good Neighbor Authority program has been an important tool to help get forest management projects on the ground faster. While Congress extended GNA to Tribes & Counties in 2018, they still have not been granted the ability to effectively execute projects. — PolitiTweet.org

Jim Risch @SenatorRisch

Idaho’s women-owned businesses are key to the state’s economic success & employ tens of thousands of Idahoans. On #InternationalWomensDay, I am proud to recognize the nearly 13 million women-owned businesses across the country & celebrate their continued success. https://t.co/lUR2uCEm1B — PolitiTweet.org

Jim Risch @SenatorRisch

I’m concerned the @usedgov, over the course of decades, has allowed taxpayer-funded antisemitism on college campuses. This has no place in the U.S. @SecCardona must answer for the taxpayer dollars funding anti-Semitic events & activities. https://t.co/CGr4r6LtbE — PolitiTweet.org

Jim Risch @SenatorRisch

The Lava Ridge project proposes to take thousands and thousands of acres of open, historic, and working land and build giant wind turbines that are broadly opposed by the local community. For me, this is a nonstarter. https://t.co/NMcCsmDZBz — PolitiTweet.org

Jim Risch @SenatorRisch

D.C. should be a safe place to learn about and experience America’s rich history. Unfortunately, D.C. is riddled with crime and their left-wing city council has embraced a soft on crime approach. Idahoans should feel safe when visiting our nation’s capital. — PolitiTweet.org

Jim Risch @SenatorRisch

The Biden admin shouldn’t just discuss reinstating the effective immigration policies they inherited, they should implement them immediately. Build the wall. Deter illegal migration. https://t.co/lI8dxKl0Nc — PolitiTweet.org

With the logging industry facing a decline in labor and an aging workforce, we must empower the next generation of loggers who are vital for properly managing our forests, supporting our rural economies, and maintaining family businesses. https://t.co/XFR8dKt4W7 — PolitiTweet.org

Jim Risch @SenatorRisch

Current law is hampering the future of Idaho’s logging industry by preventing young men and women from working in their family’s businesses. The Future Logging Careers Act would give timber families the same opportunity to pass down their trade that is allotted to family farmers. — PolitiTweet.org

Jim Risch @SenatorRisch

President Biden will release his budget this week, and to no surprise, Idahoans can expect tax hikes and out-of-control spending proposals that will cause our deficit to soar. This is not what America needs right now. It’s time we balance the budget. — PolitiTweet.org

Jim Risch @SenatorRisch

Taxpayer dollars should never be used to perform or promote an abortion. The Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act keeps taxpayer dollars out of the pockets of pro-abortion organizations. https://t.co/hJBWhe9dsc — PolitiTweet.org

March is #NationalReadingMonth! There’s no better way to celebrate than by rereading an old classic or picking up the latest issue of your favorite outdoor magazine. What will you be reading this month?📚 — PolitiTweet.org

Phil Batt was a close personal friend to both Vicki and me and one of my earliest mentors in the State Senate. He will be missed. https://t.co/XXm8wOwQ33 — PolitiTweet.org

Biden continues to attempt to strip away American’s Second Amendment rights. My ATF Transparency Act holds this administration’s ATF accountable to law-abiding gun owners and ensures a faster, fairer process when registering their firearms. https://t.co/rtfPWbLPSG — PolitiTweet.org

Jim Risch @SenatorRisch

As the Biden admin adds hurdles for law-abiding gun owners, it is more than fair to demand the ATF stick to a strict timeline & create an appeals process. My bill would hold the ATF to a higher standard that would require a faster, fairer process for firearm applications. — PolitiTweet.org

Jim Risch @SenatorRisch

The @ATFHQ's backlog of applications is triggered by a burdensome process that fails to allow citizens access to an appeal in the event of a wrongful denial. The result: law-abiding Americans are prevented from exercising their Second Amendment rights. https://t.co/3KlkQxPuVt — PolitiTweet.org

Jim Risch @SenatorRisch

The Biden admin has put Idahoans’ retirements at risk by allowing investors to make financial decisions based on their political views, not yours. Today, I voted to stop President Biden’s woke ESG rule. A third party's views should play zero role in YOUR financial decisions. — PolitiTweet.org

AG Garland says the DOJ has failed to prosecute those attacking pro-life pregnancy centers because they are not caught on camera. My Pregnancy Center Security Act establishes a grant program for these facilities to purchase security cameras to monitor these violent attacks. https://t.co/YDACdtze3j — PolitiTweet.org
