Kevin Cramer

Senator Jackie Rosen, a Nevada Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said Colby was not forthcoming and did not really address our concerns or issues.

Senator Kevin Cramer, North Dakota douchebag, also on the committee, described the classified briefing as just sort of dodge and punt.

It is very peculiar to have somebody come in for a congressionally mandated update and not have a statement, Cramer said.

I really do not like that guy.

We've offered them a very fair compromise, and I really think we get it done in the lame duck.

North Dakota Senator Kevin Cramer has agreed to release his procedural hold on Health and Human Services Deputy Dominique Chris Klomp, citing progress in discussions with Fish and Wildlife Service officials over loosening drain tiling restrictions on land near wetland easements.

At a press conference on Friday following the roundtable with North Dakota farmers and FWS officials, the Republican said he will lift his holes incrementally as progress is made on the drain tile restrictions, which have frustrated farmers facing water and salinity issues that have reduced their yields.

He said Interior Secretary Doug Burgum on Friday made a commitment to, quote, fix the setback rule.

The program develops and tests healthcare delivery and reimbursement models for critical access hospitals, which are, quote, "lifelines for rural families," Fedorchak says.

Co-sponsors of the Senate bill are GOP Senators Kevin Cramer of North Dakota, Tim Schahinger of, uh... and Steve Davis, both of Montana.

Fish and Wildlife Service plans to expand a pilot program reviewing recently drawn maps of wetlands projects by pre-nineteen seventy-six easements following concerns from farmers in the Prairie Pothole region about the map's accuracy.

Through a program meant to protect waterfowl habitat across the northern Great Plains, the agency purchases easements protecting wetlands in the Dakotas, Minnesota, Iowa, and Montana.

"We will continue working directly with landowners to address questions, respect private property rights, and uphold Interior's conservation commitments." Uh, keep in mind, farmers in the Prairie Pothole Region have also been calling for FWS to rescind a twenty twenty-four rule requiring they keep from installing drain tile within a certain distance from wetlands protected under easement contracts.

But sportsmen and wildlife advocates worry weaker protections could threaten waterfowl habitat in the region, which is one of North America's most important duck breeding areas.

Senator Kevin Cramer of North Dakota called the expansion of the pilot program, quote, "A good first step," but he added, "More work remains." He has threatened a procedural hold on any and all Trump administration nominees until the agency revisits its twenty twenty-four drain tile setback rule.

The Office of the US Trade Representative has released its country-specific in-quota allotment for raw sugarcane for fiscal twenty twenty-seven.

both speaking at the same time.

You've had comments from, uh, Republican senators like John Kennedy saying that AI, uh, threats are real and need to be taken seriously, from Kevin Cramer in North Dakota, who said that Trump's position on AI is the least popular political position in America.

So you're seeing bipartisan voices call for real action here.

That gives me a lot of optimism.

They just wanna give up on it so they can put those resources into ones that they have a chance and those are fights that they shouldn't be fighting at all.

So we're gonna start with GOP Senator Kevin Cramer who had this to say about the Senate races in Georgia and North Carolina.

So he said Republicans should take a hard look at North Carolina and Georgia when assessing how to keep senators like Sullivan afloat.

Move on, maybe, obviously we have limited resources and we wanna put them where we're likely to win.
