High diesel costs have put pressure on MT farmers during harvest season. @USDA’s new $8 billion Harvest Fuel Relief Program will help offset fuel costs and provide much-needed support for producers as they bring in their crops. This is welcome relief for Montana ag.

A big WIN for rural Montana water infrastructure. The Crow Tribe Water Rights Settlement Amendments Act is officially law, giving the Tribe more flexibility to move critical water projects forward and improve reliable water access on and around the Crow Reservation. Proud to help get it done.
SIGNED INTO LAW! 💧Crow Tribe Water Rights Settlement Amendments Act, championed in the House by @RepTroyDowning and @SteveDaines 🐟@RepBrianBabin and @SenTedCruz' Illegal Red Snapper and Tuna Enforcement Act

Congressman Troy Downing retweeted
For far too long, fraudsters treated taxpayer dollars like their personal ATM, siphoning off billions meant for our most vulnerable while the Democrats in charge looked the other way. The Republican Study Committee has been leading the fight against fraud since Day 1, and we are proud to stand alongside @WHFraudTF as some of the first in Congress to sign @VP Vance’s pledge. Together, we will stop fraudulent payments before they leave the door, and every person who exploited the system will answer for their crimes.

MONTANA- 14.45 MILLION ACRES H.J. Res. 104, introduced by @RepTroyDowning, repealed the Biden-era Miles City Field Office RMP Amendment, which locked up more than 2.75 million acres of land and 11.7 million acres of mineral estate in Montana. The RMP Amendment restricted coal deposits along Montana’s entire Powder River Basin, which makes up about 30 percent of the entire nation's coal resources.

Montana’s land should work for Montanans. The Biden-era Miles City RMP locked up nearly 14.5 million acres and restricted access to coal in the Powder River Basin, home to roughly 30% of America’s coal reserves. I introduced H.J. Res. 104 to overturn it. Now it’s done. Good-paying jobs. Affordable energy. Montana resources working for Montana families.
Biden-era restrictions: REVERSED 🔓 ICYMI: Last December, @POTUS @HouseGOP overturned five resource management plans that locked up millions of acres of American land and mineral resources. Together, we’re delivering American energy and mineral dominance ⬇️

Count me in. As Montana’s State Auditor, I worked to protect seniors and consumers from scams and fraud. In Congress, I’ve continued that work by supporting efforts to recover taxpayer dollars and hold fraudsters accountable. Today, I signed @VP’s Pledge to Protect Americans from Fraud. Keep up the good work @WHFraudTF!
Sign the pledge below and join us in the War Against Fraud.

Happy National Farmers Day to the men and women who feed Montana and the world. Our farmers and ranchers work through tough weather and uncertain markets to keep food on our tables. I’m grateful for all they do and proud to keep fighting for them in Congress.

Twenty-five years ago today, America began its mission in Afghanistan. As a veteran of that war, this day is deeply personal to me. I think of the men and women I served alongside and remember the more than 2,400 American service members who never made it home. To every veteran who fought in Afghanistan: thank you. Your service and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

16 straight months of ZERO releases at the southern border. According to DHS, not a single illegal alien was released in August, compared with 10,186 in August 2024. @HouseGOP backed our Border Patrol agents with the resources they need. I’ll keep fighting to secure our border and enforce our immigration laws.
Americans can breathe easy knowing President Trump has secured our southern border.

Replying to @RepublicanStudy
🇺🇸 @RepTroyDowning: "On National Manufacturing Day, we recognize the workers and businesses that keep Montana’s economy moving. The Working Families Tax Cuts protected 20,000 manufacturing jobs in Montana, along with $2 billion in wages and $4 billion in economic output. I’ll continue fighting to strengthen American manufacturing and keep good-paying jobs here at home."
