The EPA’s latest rule on defining 'waters of the United States' is a statement of federal overreach that ignores states’ authority to regulate intrastate water quality and the Clean Water Act’s statutory mandate for cooperative federalism, in turn, although we recognize EPA’s attempt at clarifying through a roster of exemptions, its rule ignores the voices of nearly all in American agriculture who have long been seeking clarity on this issue, especially regarding the debate over what is and is not a navigable water.

We should be continuing to want to know more about any variant, and the truth is, Covid's with us. There is always going to be a new variant, but I think people have had enough of the government locking people down, they've had enough of the government instituting mask mandates, they've had enough of the government instituting vaccine requirements. And so, every time there is an overreach, we're going to push back.

We’re leading the nation in fighting back against this absurd federal overreach, according to the U.S. Department of Labor, workers who are employed by a federal contractor make up one-fifth of the entire labor market.

If we suspect the numbers are true and we get a large number of our members who stand firm on their beliefs that this is an overreach, and they're not going to supply the information in the portal or submit to testing, then it's safe to say the city of Chicago will have a police force at 50 % or less for this weekend coming up, that is not because of the FOP, that is 100 % because of the mayor's unwillingness to budge from her hard line. So whatever happens because of the manpower issue, that falls at the mayor's doorstep.

The last thing that Americans need right now is another mandate that further prevents hardworking citizens from having the freedom to live their lives, americans should have the right to make the best decision for themselves when it comes to getting the COVID vaccine.

President Biden’s vaccine mandate is a cheap, unconstitutional overreach of governance and we will not stand by while it happens.

Until the pandemic hit this year, this administration stopped those declines and had even begun to reverse them. Stopping such a steep and rapid decline is significant in itself and shouldnt be overlooked, this administration has worked to address eight years of regulatory overreach to level the playing field not just for coal but a variety of industries. The result has been a return of competition in the energy industry although we still have a long way to go thanks to outsized subsidies for renewables.
