RThe Point Defense Battle Lab at @319thRW is an incredible asset to North Dakota’s defense ecosystem. Col. Rosales and the dedicated airmen at Grand Forks Air Force Base are crucial to countering small UAS incursions across the Air Force, and it’s great to hear they’ve already run more than a dozen exercises this year.
Had a valuable bilateral discussion with commander of United States European Command and Supreme Allied Commander Europe General Alexus G. Grynkewich and heard updates from Lithuanian Defense Minister Robertas Kuanas at the @WarsawForum https://t.co/NiSjSxcV2y
Today’s @usocc report confirms all nine of the biggest national banks had policies to restrict services over politics, religion, and lawful business practices. This is further proof we need to pass my Fair Access to Banking Act to ensure these banks make lending and service decisions based on impartial analysis, not political favoritism.
.@WarsawForum was a great place to have candid and meaningful conversations about the future of European and transatlantic security. Aligning with defense officials and colleagues from across the region regarding the future of our alliance is more important than ever.
Pat Conmy embodied the best of North Dakota and leaves behind a rich legacy of public service. Kris and I will keep his family in our prayers as they gather to mourn their loss and cherish the many happy memories they shared with Pat.
Had great discussions today with @ZelenskyyUa and @SenatorWicker, along with other defense and policy leaders on the challenges we face, our shared security priorities, and how we can strengthen our strategic partnership.
Grateful to @SindicsGenerals Charles Ensenada Reig for hospitality at @oscepa in Andorra, where European solidarity with Ukrain was top priority. Good discussions and commitments made by allies. Great to meet with the Ukrainian delegates. https://t.co/tLSavCF3QZ
It’s National 4-H Week! From the classroom to the farm and everywhere in between, 4-H gives young North Dakotans opportunities to learn, lead, serve, and grow. This week, we recognize the 4-H members, their families, and the volunteers who lead in our communities. https://t.co/9lNjto7KWy
Three years ago today, Israel endured one of the darkest days in its history as Hamas carried out a series of horrific terrorist attacks against innocent civilians. On this solemn anniversary, we reaffirm our commitment to Israel’s right to exist and our resolve to stand against terrorism, senseless violence, and the rising antisemitism we see around us.

This @DeptofWar announcement advances our nation’s base defense capabilities. Looking forward to @319thRW testing this system’s tactics, techniques, and procedures for use throughout our military. https://t.co/iifUopMUTp
A group of young Ukrainians tell personal stories after escaping Russian held territories at @oscepa 2026 in Andorra la Vella. We must never forget the thousands of children taken by Russia in Putin’s unprovoked, illegal attack on Ukrain. I am honored to meet these brave Ukrainians.
Honored to be a delegate to the Andorra2026 Organization for Security & Cooperation in Europe Parliamentary Assembly @oscepa. Free nations must unite to preserve security and peace for our people. https://t.co/GggtfbQ5rX

Joined over 100 colleagues in sending a letter to @HHSGov Inspector General T. March Bell calling for an @OIGatHHS investigation into Planned Parenthood’s use of taxpayer funding. Given the significant taxpayer resources flowing through federal health programs, recipient organizations must operate with transparency, integrity, and full compliance with federal standards. https://t.co/e9Uh3L8LZS

The American people deserve to know if their money is being used to finance the People’s Liberation Army. This is why I am joining several of my colleagues in cosponsoring the Know Your Sanctioned Securities Act and the Protecting U.S. Investors from Chinese Military Companies Act. The bills are tough on the Chinese Communist Party and give our government the tools it needs to stop funneling hard-earned money to our adversary. https://t.co/XY35Da7xGA
Joined Simon August with @DailyCaller to discuss the need forpermitting reform, energy competition with China, opposing a diesel export ban, and protecting our critical mineral supply. Watch the full interview below https://t.co/vc9bSINPdq
What a great night in Medora as @TRPresLibrary opened its first temporary exhibition with my friend and Pulitzer Prize winning photographer @kennerly. 60 years of being “In The Room” on full display. I could not be more honored to be part of this historic moment, as a legend opens his exhibition in North Dakota’s legendary library.
@ScottJenningsKY is right. Democrats want us dependent on refineries in Russia, the Middle East, and China. We haven’t built a new refinery since the 1970s, and only about 30% of our refineries are optimized for light sweet American crude. Oil-rich California imports nearly 60% of its oil from foreign sources. I have been sounding the alarm for quite some time. The status quo is unacceptable. https://t.co/lzRGWmHxky
Wonderful to see Frannie Tunseth back in D.C. We had a good visit, shared some stories, and caught up on what’s happening at home. Always appreciate getting time with one of North Dakota’s outstanding teachers. https://t.co/t52p9QkM67
We cannot afford to become more dependent on other countries for the critical minerals needed to power our economy and strengthen our national security. Our bill establishes a National Critical Minerals Council to unite all federal investment, research, and development on critical minerals under a single national strategy. The demand for critical minerals is growing every single day, and we need to seize every opportunity to jumpstart domestic production. https://t.co/22BgQjY8ah
Joined Linsey Davis on @ABC to talk about the successful withdrawl of troops from Iraq, the Senate’s role in AI regulations, and the efforts to restructure military leadership. Watch my full interview below. https://t.co/syYQAARi41
Senate Democrats blocked the Ratepayer Protection Act after it overwhelmingly passed the House 417-3! North Dakota, which has the cheapest electricity rates in the country, has enshrined these principles into law. We produce abundant, reliable energy and make sure users pay for the costs they incur. Under Democrat leadership, residential electricity prices soared 25%. More states need to be like North Dakota. This bill would’ve facilitated it, but Senate Democrats said no.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced the award of $12,422,006 to the North Dakota Department of Health and Human Services through the Money Follows the Person (MFP) demonstration program. The MFP program provides flexible funding opportunities to develop and test long-term strategies, tools and infrastructure needed to move eligible patients from institutional settings and into community-based settings.
