Idaho is no stranger to the heartbreaking impacts of fentanyl. Between 2020 and 2021, Idaho saw a 500% increase in fentanyl seizures and a doubling of fentanyl-related overdose deaths. It’s time for the administration to wake up and address this serious problem. https://t.co/ucEUBbVkPy — PolitiTweet.org

Always a pleasure to meet with @IdahoCounties to discuss active forest management, repealing the damaging #WOTUS rule, and other important priorities for Idaho’s communities. https://t.co/tUcY2dppiH — PolitiTweet.org

The Chinese spy balloon was an invasion of the U.S. It was sent intentionally. It was spying intentionally. We know what it was doing, and obviously that deserves the attention of the president in a very direct fashion. https://t.co/2AHFKVyQAx — PolitiTweet.org

🚨 HAPPENING SOON 🚨 I’m joining @TeamCavuto on @FoxNews at 4:15pm to discuss the latest on unmanned, unknown flying objects. Tune in! — PolitiTweet.org

Border walls work, but that didn’t stop President Biden from stopping construction of ours. With the Build the Wall Now Act, which I introduced with @SenTedBuddNC, border wall construction can finally resume. — PolitiTweet.org

The @FDA has a responsibility to protect women, girls, & the unborn, yet the Biden admin is enabling & encouraging dangerous chemical abortions. I signed an amicus brief to hold the FDA accountable for failure to prevent these harmful drugs from becoming readily available. — PolitiTweet.org

Inflation is up 14.4% under President Biden. This is the result of Democrats’ reckless spending, and it’s hurting hardworking Idahoans who feel the pinch every time they open their wallets. It’s time to implement a balanced budget and protect Idahoans hard-earned dollars. — PolitiTweet.org

It is beyond time for our nation to follow the example of Idahoans & live within our means. The federal government repeatedly fails to do this, which has resulted in mountains of debt & a skyrocketing deficit. We need a constitutional amendment requiring a balanced budget. — PolitiTweet.org

Pistol braces are a common gun accessory used by law-abiding gun owners to stabilize their firearms. This simple piece of plastic does not warrant the Biden admin’s efforts to illegally create & expand the ATF’s federal gun registry. https://t.co/9OewE8jzGV — PolitiTweet.org

The POWER Act will prohibit the executive branch from ever unilaterally stifling American energy production again. https://t.co/qTWGusiFKI — PolitiTweet.org

Jim Risch @SenatorRisch

Biden has done his best to dismantle domestic energy production, and as a result, has threatened our national security, killed high-paying jobs, and caused energy prices to skyrocket. We have vast natural resources here at home, and we need to use them. — PolitiTweet.org

The @EPA NOx emissions standards will drive up heavy duty vehicle prices resulting in significant financial burdens for consumers already struggling to make ends meet. Congress must prevent this green energy policy from causing damage to our still-fragile supply chain. — PolitiTweet.org

The Fair Access to Banking Act will prevent banks from discriminating against entire industries due to political prejudices. https://t.co/WqXcVI1Kp2 — PolitiTweet.org

Jim Risch @SenatorRisch

Big banks are using political ideologies as reason to deny access to capital, pushing our country further from the principles that fuel the American dream. My colleagues, @SenKevinCramer, @MikeCrapo & I introduced legislation to prevent Idahoans from being victimized by banks. — PolitiTweet.org

Taxpayer dollars cannot fund abortions. The Biden admin is attempting to circumvent state abortion laws & enable the VA to use taxpayer dollars to fund abortions, which is illegal. I joined my Republican colleagues to protect life & prevent this deadly rule from implementation. — PolitiTweet.org

Jim Risch @SenatorRisch

Biden’s southern border is a drug crisis, a humanitarian crisis, & a national security crisis. 4.5 M illegal immigrants—more than double Idaho's population—have been encountered at the southern border since he took office. It's time to reverse course. https://t.co/oDotMvgvSw — PolitiTweet.org

Idahoans can see clearly that the state of the union is not good. Read my full statement on President Biden’s State of the Union address here: https://t.co/0nhkUvU2IH — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to @INL Director @john_c_wagner on being elected an @aaas fellow. Your leadership and commitment to science and energy continues to put Idaho at the leading edge of new developments. Congratulations, Dr. Wagner, for this great achievement! — PolitiTweet.org

Support from affected communities is paramount to any major land management decision. Right now, Idahoans have more questions than answers regarding the proposed Lava Ridge Project. — PolitiTweet.org

Jim Risch @SenatorRisch

Allow law-abiding gun owners to travel from state to state with their valid concealed carry permit is commonsense. I joined @JohnCornyn & @SenatorHagerty in introducing legislation that will honor states’ rights and the right to bear arms. https://t.co/2G3lkVKSpl — PolitiTweet.org

Jim Risch @SenatorRisch

Congrats Cindy & @SteveDaines on a successful hunt. If @Twitter is so jealous, they should ask for an invite next time, but they certainly shouldn't ban him. Hunting is part of Idaho's culture just like it is in Montana & across the West. What is Twitter doing? #FreeSteveDaines https://t.co/4ctuiBq3m4 — PolitiTweet.org

Finally, but this should have happened before this spy balloon crossed who knows how many U.S. states. — PolitiTweet.org

Jim Risch @SenatorRisch

The Biden admin allowed a Chinese spy balloon to cross from the Aleutian Islands to Montana—apparently crossing N. Idaho. They knew & let it happen. This is a gross violation of our national security. Why did the admin fail to stop this espionage before it entered into the US? — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to Command Sgt. Maj. Alice Randolph! The @IDNationalGuard is fortunate to have your leadership. And thank you Command Sgt. Maj. Scott White for your service. Your retirement is well deserved! — PolitiTweet.org
