The Supreme Court is due to decide its case on Idaho’s law banning men from women’s sports any day now. This commonsense law ought to be upheld under Title IX. I look forward to the decision and continuing our work to ensure fairness in female athletics.

As the birthplace of nuclear electricity and the site of the first advanced microreactor to go critical in 50 years, @INL is leading the way to quadruple U.S. nuclear capacity by 2050. Great to have @SecretaryWright in Idaho, the heart of nuclear energy innovation!
.@SecretaryWright at Idaho National Lab: "We have the new nuclear age beginning right now; the Golden era of nuclear energy—with soon to be our 3rd next-generation nuclear reactor to turn on..." 🇺🇸

Great meeting with some of Idaho’s outstanding National Guardsmen serving in our nation’s capital as we prepare to celebrate the 250th anniversary of America’s founding.

Yesterday, my @SenateGOP colleagues and I passed the landmark Road to Housing Act to cut red tape, increase housing supply, and lower costs for Idaho families. It is long past time we make homeownership more accessible to Idahoans, and this bill is a significant step to doing just that.
The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act will lower the cost of housing. This critical legislation will increase the number of homes available and help more families afford the home they need.

Today marks 54 years of Title IX — a historic law that promised equal opportunities for every American woman and girl. More than half a century later, those protections are still under threat. I’m proud to stand up for Title IX and fight to ensure women and girls have the level playing field they deserve.

Idaho’s sugar beet farmers are facing significant challenges due to unfair trade practices. While in Jerome, I met with local growers at Henry Farms to discuss my efforts to protect Idaho’s sugar beet industry and strengthen the domestic sugar industry for years to come.

Idaho is home to over 12,000 veteran-owned businesses and is more than deserving of its own Veterans Business Outreach Center. Our veterans should be served by Idahoans, not an office in another state. I am requesting @SBA_Kelly establish a center in Idaho to provide our veterans with direct access to essential small business resources and local support. risch.senate.gov/news/press-…

This is great news for Idaho’s ranchers. Expanding grazing on National Forest Land is commonsense. It will strengthen food security, support Idaho’s rural communities, and keep our working lands working.
Today @SecRollins announced a comprehensive directive to all @forestservice employees, advancing the USDA-@interior Grazing Action Plan to strengthen American ranching, restore multiple-use management on federal lands, and combat regulatory lawfare against producers. 🇺🇸 Details: usda.gov/about-usda/news/pre…

Reliable water systems are vital to all Idahoans, especially our farmers and ranchers. At Shoshone Falls, I met with some Magic Valley’s water users to discuss everything from supporting the Snake River dams to canal modernization.

Since then, Patrick has expanded the business nationwide while supporting young entrepreneurs through a local scholarship program. #SupportLocalGems

Tucked away in Idaho’s Salmon-Challis National Forest, Ram’s Head Café and Lodge was brought back to life by Chris and Brianna Reece after 15 years of lying vacant. Now, the new-and-improved business has become a favorite spot for locals and visitors alike. #SupportLocalGems
