For years, well-funded environmental organizations have exploited the Equal Access to Justice Act (EAJA) to pursue repetitive litigation against the federal government and then force taxpayers to cover their legal fees. According to federal data, from 2019 through 2024, the Departments of the Interior and Agriculture awarded approximately $24.8 million under EAJA, with 76% of those funds flowing to a small number of environmental organizations and their attorneys.

For years, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has been playing Whac-A-Mole with unsafe carriers.

Shutting down a trucking company for violations or unsafe practices doesn’t do much if the motor carrier can resume operations under a new name and DOT number.

These trucking companies that are able to evade FMCSA’s enforcement are known as chameleon carriers.

A provision in the House Highway and Transportation Committee’s highway bill aims to put the brakes on chameleon carriers.

Rep. Harriet Hageman (R., Wyo.) wants Congress to follow — and stop — the money that has been flowing to liberal states that are trying to sue American energy companies via what she described as “legal nonstarters.”

During an interview with the Washington Reporter, Hageman made the case for her Stop Climate Shakedowns Act of 2026, which she said is necessary because blue cities and municipalities have been trying to sue oil companies, like BP and Chevron, using an ex post facto punishment.

Wyoming Republican Rep. Harriet Hageman joined the Daily Caller News Foundation to discuss how her Stop Climate Shakedowns Act of 2026 may shut down climate activists' legal crusade against energy companies.

Hageman arrived at Congress after defeating Liz Cheney in a contentious 2022 primary election. Her new legislation would clamp down on climate lawfare bilking companies for billions.

Congresswoman Harriet Hageman loves to call Wyoming students to let them know that they have been accepted to such prestigious schools as West Point.

Recently, the congresswoman called Luke, a student from Sheridan, Wyoming, to congratulate him on being accepted to two different U.S. service academies.

Luke's Dual Acceptance was a surprise, but not a surprise when you consider what an outstanding young man he is.

He was first offered admission to the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy and subsequently received notification of his acceptance to the U.S. Naval Academy.

When it comes to anti-fossil fuel policies, few cities have pursued them with as much gusto as Boulder, Colorado. In 2006, Boulder became one of the first local governments in the nation to adopt emission reduction targets. Then in 2019, the city went into a full-blown panic over emissions, declared a “climate emergency,” and exponentially increased its targets.

ROCK SPRINGS — U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY) recently detailed her legislative efforts to overhaul commercial trucking regulations.

Speaking at the Sweetwater Events Complex on Tuesday, April 7, Hageman focused on what she described as an “explosion” of unlicensed and non-English speaking drivers on U.S. highways. The centerpiece of her plan is a new bill targeting safety gaps and licensing loopholes.
