I am so proud to congratulate a former fellow of mine, Mark Cruz, on his nomination to serve as the Director of the Indian Health Service under Secretary Kennedy at @HHSGov. Having seen his work ethic firsthand, I have no doubt he will serve in this position with integrity, professionalism, and diligence. He should be confirmed immediatley!

I'm honored to co-lead this bipartisan amendment to better serve Tribal veterans who face challenges in obtaining the care they deserve.

This afternoon, I met with Navajo Nation Council Law and Order Committee Chair Eugenia Charles-Newton and members of the Navajo Nation Police Department.

We discussed ways to strengthen law enforcement efforts in rural Arizona.

Appreciate all they do.

This agreement with the Southern Ute Tribe delivers on @POTUS' promise: tribes should have greater authority to manage their resources and move quickly, responsibly and on their own terms to develop energy, create jobs and strengthen our energy future.

We are committed to interagency collaboration and are actively working @USIndianAffairs to support Tribes to unleash their energy resources.

Last week Director Mahroum connected with @Interior's Assistant Secretary William Kirkland at U.S. Indian Affairs Tribal Energy Summit.

Spot on by Chairman @RepWesterman.

Copper is critical.

[Secretary Markwayne Mullin @SecMullinDHS]

I am grateful for President Trump’s trust in me to lead the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. It’s an honor to serve.

As @DHSgov Secretary, I’m committed to safeguarding the American people and protecting the homeland. I’ll fight for your family just as I’ll fight for mine.

I look forward to standing shoulder to shoulder with the 260,000 outstanding DHS employees and their families to keep our nation safe.

My first priority is to end the partisan fighting and reopen the U.S. Department of Homeland Security as a matter of national security.

Let’s get to work. 🇺🇸

Trump introduces Markwayne Mullin: "As the only Native American -- I didn't know that. Huh? Let me look at you. Uhh. I think that's alright."

[Indian Affairs @USIndianAffairs]

The passing of Congressman Doug LaMalfa is a profound loss for Indian Country and for our nation. LaMalfa was an ardent supporter of tribal sovereignty and Indigenous lifeways, fighting in Congress to preserve tribal seed varieties, strengthen tribal buffalo herds, and protect tribal lands and waters. We honor his service and extend our deepest condolences to his family and to all who mourn his loss. 🪶

[Western Caucus @westerncaucus]

Today, Chairman @RepLaMalfa passed away. While his legacy over the past two decades is truly astonishing, the impact of who he was as a husband, father, friend, and boss will last an eternity. He was rich in every way that mattered. We will all miss you forever. Rest easy, Chief.

[Carlyle W Begay @CarlyleBegay]

You will be missed 💔 @RepLaMalfa. A true advocate and champion for the people. Prayers to your family 🙏

[Rep. Doug LaMalfa @RepLaMalfa]

This year brought a lot of accomplishments from our team, and I’m eager to continue representing and serving the people of California’s First District in the year ahead.

[Rep. Eli Crane @RepEliCrane]

Great getting to visit with #AZ02 constituents Brenda Astor and Ana Vargas, who are both employees at Resolution Copper.

Appreciate all they do to strengthen the economy in Gila County.

[Rep. Eli Crane @RepEliCrane]

Abandoned uranium mines contaminate groundwater and pose serious health risks to Arizonans.

To improve cleanup operations, I joined my colleagues in introducing the Legacy Mine Cleanup Act of 2025.

With Senate passage last month, we're one step closer to making it law.

[Rep. Eli Crane @RepEliCrane]

It was an honor to have Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs Billy Kirkland visit #AZ02 yesterday on his first trip since being confirmed by the U.S. Senate.

We had a productive visit to the Yavapai Apache Nation. Thanks to Chairman Buddy Rocha Jr. for your warm hospitality.

[J Garret Renville @renvillejg]

Congratulations to Billy Kirkland on his Senate confirmation today as Assistant Secretary of Indian Affairs. This is an important role for Indian Country, and we look forward to his leadership in advancing tribal sovereignty and strengthening the trust relationship.

[Secretary Doug Burgum @SecretaryBurgum]

Leveling the playing field in permitting supports energy development that’s reliable, affordable, and built to last.
