Senator Steve Daines has recently shared his thoughts and activities through a series of tweets. These posts cover topics ranging from energy policies affecting Montana to educational engagements with local students and developments in the forestry sector.
On July 10, 2025, Senator Daines addressed the implications of a Biden-era policy concerning coal leasing. He stated, “The Biden-era Miles City RMPA halts all future coal leasing in the region & will cause the loss of MT jobs- that’s why I intro’d a resolution with @TimSheehyMT, @RepTroyDowning & @RepRyanZinke to remove this harmful plan & support Made-In-MT energy.” This tweet highlights his efforts alongside other representatives to counteract the plan and promote local energy initiatives.
Later that day, he expressed enthusiasm about meeting young agricultural leaders in Montana. At 16:51 UTC on July 10, he tweeted, “Great to meet with Montana FFA students today! They are our next generation of ag leaders. Their dedication to farming, ranching, and rural communities makes our state proud.” This encounter underscores his support for the future generation engaged in agriculture within the state.
In another tweet posted at 19:10 UTC on July 10, Senator Daines discussed advancements in forestry management. He wrote, “Doubling our annual timber sales will help Montana’s forest health and support logging jobs. Glad that @POTUS signed the BBB into law which included a provision to increase our timber sales and support rural communities.” This message reflects on legislative measures aimed at enhancing forest health while simultaneously boosting employment opportunities within rural areas.
Additional information for Step 3: The BBB referred to by Senator Daines is likely the “Build Back Better” Act signed into law by President Biden.
