Honored to be invited to the White House this afternoon to witness @POTUS sign my bill, along with two other fiscally responsible FY26 @HouseAppropsGOP funding bills, into law.
I’m deeply proud of the effort that went into this critical legislation, and its accomplishments that work to advance an America First policy agenda.

Last night, we learned that three wildland firefighters—serving with the U.S. Forest Service and the U.S. Wildland Fire Service—lost their lives on Saturday, June 27, while responding jointly to the Knowles and Gore fires along the Colorado-Utah border.
Additionally, two wildland firefighters were injured in the line of duty and have been transported to a hospital.
This is terrible news and a reminder of what our first responders risk every time they go out to prevent devastation and protect Americans from natural disasters.
Our immediate focus is on supporting their families, friends, and fellow crewmates during this incredibly difficult time.
The USDA and Interior family mourns with them and offers our unwavering support for the loved ones left behind.
We are continuing to pray for their families and loved ones. May God bring them peace during this time.
Their bravery, dedication, and sacrifice will never be forgotten.
Additional details will be shared as they become available.

Every. Single. Democrat.
One year ago, EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT VOTED TO RAISE YOUR TAXES.
Community note
Simultaneously, nearly every Republican voted to increase spending by hundreds of billions with no plan to pay for it, which is why Americans are suffering rampant inflation today.

One fraudster is one too many.
Major props to Idaho's Attorney General @Raul_Labrador's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit for cracking down on fraud, theft, and abuse.
Pleased to see the State of Idaho and @DOJFraudDiv investigating, prosecuting, and protecting taxpayer dollars against fraud!
"Idaho's Medicaid fraud control unit took part in the national [fraud crackdown]. State investigators say fraud reports in Idaho are rising."
More money is being clawed back from these criminals day by day!

A wildfire can be destructive — but it’s not the end of the story. In the @BoiseNF, new growth is pushing through the ash while crews are clearing hazards, restoring access, & helping the landscape bounce back. fs.usda.gov/about-agency/fea…

Cockpit video from our opening flyover of @Freedom250 last night.
Thank you America for all that you are and all that you will be. Thank you for trusting me.
I'll have more to say about it later. My college roommate and one of my best friends Joe Pitts was on my wing for this one.
God Bless America and long live The Republic.

FFA is a great agricultural education program that benefits students across the nation.
In Idaho, we know how important this program is, which is why our state always has strong FFA representation. I was thrilled to meet with students and hear about their success and aspirations.

12 for 12! @HouseAppropsGOP set a timeline to pass all 12 single-subject spending bills, and we delivered.
I applaud @TomColeOK04's leadership and commitment to working with the various subcommittee chairmen. I appreciate his continued support for my FY27 Interior & Environment Bill.
Passing these bills is the first step in reducing spending, restoring fiscal responsibility, and advancing President Trump's agenda.

Four years ago, the Supreme Court made the correct decision and overturned Roe v. Wade. I have long said that there is no constitutional right to an abortion, and thanks to the historic Dobbs decision, power was returned to the people, and the right to protect unborn life was restored.

As Chairman of the Interior & Environment @HouseAppropsGOP Subcommittee, I have the unique opportunity to influence policies that directly impact Idaho and support rural counties.
PILT is critical for Idaho, and I have remained committed to ensuring this lifeline for our communities is fully funded. I'm pleased to see that Idaho counties will receive nearly $50M!
