The overwhelming majority of crypto owners want clear rules of the road and protections like those provided in the GENIUS Act and Clarity Act.
This is a shared priority for Republicans and Democrats.
The only reason for this progress to end now would be if Democrats choose politics over good policy.

Today, 25 years later, we continue to remember the victims of the horrific attack on our nation, and honor the brave first responders and citizen heroes who answered the call.
We will never forget.

Always great to stop by the South Dakota State Fair and catch up with folks from across the state.
As a longtime supporter of MCOOL for beef, I thank President Trump for his executive order on mandatory country of origin labeling. South Dakota ranchers deserve a fair labeling system that provides consumers with basic information on the origin of the food that’s on their family’s dinner table. I’m proud that my legislation to reinstate MCOOL for beef, which would codify this executive order, is included in the Senate farm bill, and I remain committed to working to get it across the finish line so we can deliver this important win for America’s producers.

I’m glad that congressional Republicans not only prioritized removing the threat of another dangerous government shutdown, but we did our job weeks before the deadline and with bipartisan support. While funding the government is one of our most basic responsibilities, my hope is that this effort proves that government shutdowns serve no one, and we should quickly complete our work on the fiscal year 2027 appropriations process.

Great to visit with a few small business owners in Flandreau today.

Always enjoy going to Mitchell for Dakotafest. Had a great discussion about the need to pass the farm bill to secure critical wins for South Dakota’s farmers and ranchers and ensure the year-round sale of E15.
