Senator Steve Daines, representing Montana, posted a series of statements on September 10, 2025, addressing issues related to conservation, public land management, and Senate confirmations.
In his first post at 14:44 UTC, Daines expressed appreciation for a visit from a notable conservation group. “Great to have the Boone and Crockett Club in DC- our MT outdoor way of life is something we’ll always fight to protect.”
Later that day at 16:21 UTC, he commented on recent actions by the Department of the Interior regarding federal land policy. “Welcome news from @Interior. Rescinding the Public Lands Rule & restoring multiple use will unleash MT energy, support grazing & help us better manage our forests. Thank you @POTUS & @SecretaryBurgum!” The Public Lands Rule had previously been criticized by some Western lawmakers who argued it restricted economic activities such as energy development and livestock grazing on federal lands.
At 18:55 UTC, Daines addressed ongoing political disputes in the Senate over presidential nominations. “Dems continue to obstruct @POTUS’s highly qualified nominees like Kurt Alme- it’s unacceptable. Senate Republicans are fighting back so we can get @POTUS’s nominees in place & get to work implementing his agenda that the ppl of MT voted for.” Disagreements over executive branch appointments have been a recurring issue in Congress, often leading to delays in filling key government positions.
The Boone and Crockett Club mentioned by Daines is one of North America’s oldest wildlife conservation organizations. The debate over multiple use policies on public lands has significant implications for Montana’s economy and environment.
