I am grateful to have met John from Bismarck, in town for @BeefUSA’s Young Cattlemen’s Conference, and to see a fellow North Dakotan honoring those who fought in WWII. Image
My friend and colleague @SenCoryGardner also came to pay tribute. Thank you to the Friends of the @WWIIMemorial for organizing this incredible event. Image

I've heard a lot of misinformation about the bipartisan infrastructure bill. Let's clear some of it up.

First, it is NOT tied to the $3.5 trillion spending bill Democrats want to pass later this year.

I spoke on the floor about the differences earlier this week.
"We’ve heard it'd be paid for but it's not."

The CBO is limited in its scoring ability and can't include certain pay-fors like repurposing unused COVID relief funds or the increased revenue from economic gain.
"It'll increase inflation."

It's the opposite.

Investing in infrastructure puts people to work, gives taxpayers a long-term asset, and helps with the supply-side of the economy by getting more goods to market.

I will not object to the Electoral College votes when they are counted on January 6th, and – unless overwhelmingly persuasive evidence is presented before the Senate when we debate the objections – I will not vote to reject the results.

My statement⬇️

I share the concerns of my colleagues and the countless North Dakotans who have reached out about the election.

Last year Democrats tried to use COVID-19 to implement questionable election procedures like universal vote-by-mail, ballot harvesting, and ballot curing.
These practices – and the subsequent lack of transparency in places like PA, MI, NV, and GA – have raised reasonable questions about the elections process which need to be addressed, regardless of whether or not it is enough to change the outcome.

The best way we can honor those who died for our freedom is to live as free people and cherish our liberties.

Here’s a thread of the 14 @NDNationalGuard heroes who lost their lives fighting terrorism and protecting the United States across the globe.
Jon Fettig of Dickinson died in Iraq when his truck was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade.

He was 30. 1/14 Image
Keith Smette of Fargo lost his life when his convoy was attacked near Fallujah, Iraq.

He was 25. 2/14 Image

Last night, as I presided over the Senate, we passed comprehensive veterans mental health care improvement legislation, which contains my provisions expanding @DeptVetAffairs research into Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.
Our bill:

➡️ authorizes the VA Secretary to enter into public-private partnerships to research HBOT,
➡️ requires the VA to use an objective test to measure the effectiveness of HBOT, and
➡️ commissions a comprehensive review and study of HBOT.
Saturday I heard another compelling story from a North Dakota veteran named AJ about the powerful difference HBOT can make in the lives of our veterans.

Our bill advances the study of this impactful treatment & hopefully leads to more opportunities for veterans to receive it.

We must not let the unlawful actions of some detract from important discussions about race tensions in our nation.

Nor should we allow the destructive actions of out-of-state professional rioters to define the civil activism of good people in our state and its communities.
Most importantly, we cannot allow the actions of a criminal cop to diminish our respect for the many noble and heroic officers who protect and serve, knowing every day may be their last.
Governor @DougBurgum and Fargo’s local leaders and law enforcement officials handled yesterday's situation effectively, facilitating a peaceful demonstration and moving quickly to subdue the violence.

Delivered floor remarks last week announcing my support for Major General Scott Spellmon, whose promotion to Lieutenant General and nomination to be the @USACEHQ Chief of Engineers and Commanding General is before the Senate.
As the epitome of cumbersome bureaucracy, I rarely compliment the @USACEHQ.

General Spellmon, however, has worked closely and thoughtfully with me on issues like the Snake Creek Embankment and western state water rights.
He listened intently to my concerns and provided thorough, honest responses which will be used as a guidepost for @USACEHQ policy going forward.
