Daines Calls Out Biden-Harris’ DOJ for Silence Following Evidence of Illegal Aliens Registering to Vote

October 30, 2024

U.S. Senator Steve Daines joined several colleagues in demanding answers from U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland on the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) efforts after reports of thousands of cases of illegal aliens registering to vote have emerged. “We are deeply concerned by reports of non-citizens registering to vote and voting in federal elections,” the Members of Congress wrote. “As of today, there has been no response from you or your Department regarding the inquiry on July 12, 2024, seeking information on efforts undertaken by your Department to enforce laws prohibiting non-citizen voting.  Given that the 2024 Presidential Election is in

Daines Calls Biden-Harris Regulation Affecting Mining “Cynical and Desperate Attempt to Get Votes Before Election”

October 24, 2024

“If Biden and Harris were serious about helping our miners, they would have reversed their anti-mining policies years ago.” U.S. Senator Steve Daines today released the following statement after the U.S. Department of the Treasury issued new guidance for the Advanced Manufacturing Production Credit (45X). Last month, following the layoff of 700 employees at Stillwater Mine, Daines called on the Treasury to reverse course on their anti-mining draft guidance and include extraction costs in the tax credit. Despite making minor changes the Department of the Treasury failed to adequately ensure all mining is allowed or put restrictions in place to ensure that

Daines Fights Back Against Biden-Harris Administration’s Woke “Gender Identity” Guidance

October 21, 2024

New Guidance Violates Religious Protections, Endangers Women in the Workplace U.S. SENATE – U.S. Senator Steve Daines and several of his colleagues sent a letter to President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’ Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra challenging new radical guidance that compels speech, threatens freedom of religion and endangers women by forcing federal employees to use “preferred pronouns” and allow men in women’s spaces or risk termination. “We write out of deep concern over Guidance you issued entitled ‘Gender Identity Non- Discrimination and Inclusion Policy for Employees and Applicants.’… According to the Guidance, failure to use the preferred names and pronouns an individual asks

Daines Introduces Bill to Ban Handgun Rosters, Protect Montanans’ 2A Rights

October 15, 2024

U.S. SENATE – U.S. Senator Steve Daines introduced the “Modern Firearms Safety Act,” which would prohibit states from enforcing unconstitutional handgun rosters. These rosters mandate that firearms include costly and unnecessary features like microstamping, loaded chamber indicators and magazine disconnect mechanisms. This makes it nearly impossible for manufacturers to sell new handguns. “Our Founding Fathers were clear —the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. Forcing Americans to outfit their firearms with onerous and costly features is a clear attempt to undermine the Second Amendment and law-abiding citizens’ constitutional rights, and it must stop,” said Daines. The “Modern

Daines Calls Out U.S. Forest Service for Lack of Fire Management Transparency

October 11, 2024

Echoes Concerns Raised by Montana Governor Greg Gianforte U.S. SENATE – U.S. Senator Steve Daines today sent a letter to the United States Forest Service (USFS) requesting more transparency about wildfire management strategy actions following recent concerns raised by Montana Governor Greg Gianforte. More transparency will help the public better understand how USFS plans to handle wildfires and will allow for better oversight as well. “Montanans are tired of breathing in smoke and as Governor Gianforte points out, the Biden-Harris Forest Service failed Montanans in a number of areas. Specifically, the Forest Service is not being transparent with state partners and the

Daines Joins Amicus Brief to Overturn Unlawful Biden-Harris Emissions Rule

October 9, 2024

U.S. SENATE – U.S. Senator Steve Daines joined a bicameral amicus brief challenging a new rule from Biden-Harris’ Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) that requires state departments of transportation and metropolitan planning organizations to measure greenhouse gas emissions on the highway system and set declining targets.  “This is just another example of the Biden-Harris administration’s executive overreach that attacks our Montana way of life and does nothing but fuel climate alarmism. This rule by the FHWA is unsustainable for rural communities in Montana and I’m proud to join my colleagues in fighting against the Biden-Harris administration’s radical climate agenda,” said Daines. Shortly after the

Daines Slams Biden-Harris Administration for Hiding Failures in New Medicare Plan

October 8, 2024

CBO Confirms Election Year Will Cost Taxpayers at Least $7 Billion in 2025 U.S. SENATE – U.S. Senator Steve Daines today called out the Biden-Harris administration for their new Medicare policy that will cost taxpayers billions in 2025. Recently, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released an analysis of the newly announced Biden-Harris subsidy for insurance companies intended to cover up the failures of the so-called “Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).”  Based on CBO estimates, this election-year stunt to artificially lower the cost of seniors’ Part D premiums will cost taxpayers at least $7 billion in 2025, including $2 billion in additional interest on

Daines Introduces Bill to Combat Biden-Harris’ Failed Amnesty Program

October 3, 2024

U.S. SENATE – U.S. Senator Steve Daines joined his Republican colleagues in introducing the “Visa Integrity Preservation Act,” which will halt the Biden-Harris administration’s violation of the “Immigration and Nationality Act” by ending its policy of allowing immigrants who illegally entered the U.S. or overstayed their visas to regularize their status through obtaining temporary work visas. “Joe Biden and ‘Border Czar’ Kamala Harris have failed to secure the southern border, and Montanans are bearing the burden,” said Daines. “The ‘Visa Integrity Preservation Act’ will stop the abuse of nonimmigrant visa programs and is a step in the right direction towards holding Joe

Daines Statement on Death of Hezbollah Commander Hasan Nasrallah

September 28, 2024

U.S. Senator Steve Daines issued the following statement regarding the death of Hezbollah commander Hassan Nasrallah: “Hezbollah commander Hassan Nasrallah’s death is a victory for freedom-loving countries around the world and Israel deserves credit for the courage to deliver the justice he deserved. He was an ally and proxy of the evil Iranian regime whose bloodthirsty reign of terror not only targeted Jews but Americans, Syrians, Lebanese and many others throughout the Middle East. “However, there remains much work to be done. Hamas still holds hostages and antisemitism is manifesting itself on our streets and college campuses. The Biden-Harris administration

Daines Statement on Netanyahu UN Speech: “America Must Stand with Israel”

September 27, 2024

U.S. Senator Steve Daines issued the following statement today regarding Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to the United Nations: “I commend Prime Minister Netanyahu for providing much-needed moral clarity in his speech at the UN today. He countered the reprehensible lies and evil antisemitism from yesterday’s address by the Iranian Foreign Minister with truth and issued an important challenge that not only the United States, but the entire world must heed: in this battle of good and evil, America and freedom-loving countries around the world must stand with Israel.”
