Leaders of the Navajo Nation, a federally-recognized tribe in the southwest, are heavily criticizing the Biden administration for its action last week banning oil and gas leasing impacting their citizens.
On the Standing Rock Indian Reservation, which straddles the border between North and South Dakota, people line up at 6 a.m. in the freezing winter, hoping to get one of just four dental appointments.
“If you don’t get those four, you’re out, you don’t get it,” said Janet Alkire, chairwoman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, who described the scene at an April hearing of the House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Indian and Insular Affairs.
And the lack of adequate medical care extends well beyond dental care, she told lawmakers.
The U.S. House Committee on Natural Resources launched a bipartisan Indo-Pacific Task Force including delegates from Guam, CNMI, and American Samoa to examine the region's issues.
U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman, R-Wyoming, is championing a bill that would limit presidents in making major policy rules and allow federal agencies much less power to set their own regulations.
The Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny (REINS) Act would require congressional approval for all major rules that have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more.
Montana Republican Rep. Matt Rosendale introduced legislation Monday evening that prohibits the Department of Defense (DOD) from paying for, hosting or supporting adult cabaret performances.
The Daily Caller first obtained a copy of the bill, which defines an “adult cabaret performance” as a performance that features topless dancers, go-go dancers, exotic dances, strippers or male or female impersonators who provide entertainment that appeals to prurient interest.
President Joe Biden’s administration is doling out taxpayer money through an anti-terrorism grant initiative to a university program that hosted a conference where the Republican Party, as well as Christian and conservative groups, were lumped in with terrorist groups.
WASHINGTON D.C. — Congresswoman Harriet Hageman voted against H.R. 3746, a bill that would raise the debt ceiling by an unspecified amount and establish the FY 2023 appropriations, so called “Inflation Reduction Act”, and COVID era emergency bills passed by Biden/Pelosi/Schumer as the baseline for future government spending.
Wyoming’s lone Representative in the House, Harriet Hageman joined Mac Watson on “Mac In The Morning” on KODI-AM/FM this morning to talk about some important developments going on in Congress.
For decades Dave Belus and his family have ranched across Johnson County, grazing their cattle on a patchwork of private and Bureau of Land Management land.
But as the BLM moves toward a new Public Lands Rule that could put land conservation on an equal footing with other uses, ranchers like Belus are questioning the impact to their business and way of life.
Wyoming’s Rep. Harriet Hageman joined Republicans and Democrats in voting against the new debt ceiling agreement, which cleared the U.S. House by a wide margin Wednesday night.
The bill, called the Fiscal Responsibility Act, now goes to the Senate ahead of a Monday deadline to move the legislation before the nation defaults on its debt — a situation that would spell economic catastrophe for the U.S. and the world.
