Mike Lee

I am a United States Senator from the great state of Utah. Please help me restore constitutional leadership to Washington.

[Mike Lee @SenMikeLee]

There are 49 full days left in 2026 to confirm every Trump nominee and pass every legislative priority possible.

Because Democrats will not be delivering anything for the next two years.

[Sen. John Barrasso @SenJohnBarrasso]

Even the NEW YORK TIMES is calling for permitting reform. Let’s get it done. https://t.co/DLZBDrxtFk

West Virginia economic leaders know the potential that the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act unlocks for our state.

BAAJA has the support of leaders that have invested in WV like Form Energy and Nucor, and important stakeholders like the Gas & Oil Association of West Virginia, West Virginia Chamber of Commerce, West Virginia Coal Association, and West Virginia Manufacturers Association.

We have the opportunity to make generational change across West Virginia and create good-paying jobs by passing this legislation.

The Department of State’s Birth Tourism Prevention Task Force has now revoked more than 6,000 visas from foreigners who engaged in or facilitated birth tourism.

We are identifying and holding accountable everyone involved in this illicit practice.

I introduced the Verifying that all Aliens have Legitimate Identification Documents (VALID) Act to close loopholes exploited by illegal immigrants to travel within the U.S. without proper identification.

Don’t let these guys fly.

NEW: DHS confirms to @FoxNews that a suspect arrested on a Newark to New Orleans United flight last night for allegedly storming the cockpit and claiming to have a bomb, leading to United putting out a hijack alert for the plane, is a 2x previously deported Honduran illegal alien.

Rony Alexander Gomez-Alberto was arrested by the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s office once the flight landed at MSY (New Orleans airport) and he has been charged with felony bomb threat, terroristic threats, and disorderly conduct.

Per DHS - Gomez-Alberto crossed the Texas border illegally in 2011 and was deported, then illegally re-entered through the New Mexico border in 2014 and was deported a second time. He illegally re-entered the country a third time in 2019, was arrested by Border Patrol, but was released from custody after an immigration judge ordered his release.

He is currently being held without bond by law enforcement in Louisiana.

To the courageous Americans who answered the call to defend their homeland,

To those who kept watch upon our shores, or halfway around the world,

To those who stood in harm’s way, that harm may not come to their countrymen,

To those in generations past who never received the welcome home that they deserved,

To those who healed, who built, who trained, who flew, who sailed, who fought, who prayed:

Thank you for your service. Thank you for your sacrifice.

May God bless you on this Veterans Day, and may God bless the wonderful country you have protected for us all.

[Heritage Action @Heritage_Action]

Exactly right, @SenMikeLee.

BAAJA would provide much-needed certainty to the permitting process and end the ability of radical environmental groups to wage endless legal crusade against development. It's time to build!

[Laura Ingraham @IngrahamAngle]

🚨 WHY THE RUSH to re-elect the same GOP leadership?

@SenMikeLee: “When we’ve just been given what many would characterize as a stunning rebuke from voters, why would we rush back in and immediately elect a slate of leadership without figuring out a path forward?”

“It would be foolish… to proceed down this path of just reflexively re-electing the same slate of leadership tomorrow morning.”

[Mike Lee @SenMikeLee]

Why rush leadership elections?

Let’s hear the plan first.

[Mike Lee @SenMikeLee]

73 senators just voted YES to advance historic permitting reform.

BAAJA has cleared its first hurdle in the Senate and is one step closer to becoming law.

Let's get it done!

[Senate Cloakroom @SenateCloakroom]

Invoked, 73-25: Motion to invoke cloture on the motion to proceed to Cal. #453, H.R.2347, Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026.

Thank you, @SenatorBanks! 🇺🇸

My statement on the upcoming Senate Republican leadership race:

[Mike Lee @SenMikeLee]

Thank you, Mr. President!

The BAAJA will blast energy prices down for American families and make it easier to build, grow, and power our country!

[Rapid Response 47 @RapidResponse47]

.@POTUS: "The Senate HAS to act. The Senate is getting nothing passed and it's just killing our country. That means Democrats AND Republicans... You send things to the Senate when you want it to die."

[Mike Lee @SenMikeLee]

I’m with @SenRonJohnson.

We shouldn’t rush back into Senate leadership elections without having some hard, necessary conversations about how we move forward.

[Senator Ron Johnson @SenRonJohnson]

Since 1934, leadership elections have occurred about 40 days after an election.

Since 2006, that timeline has shortened to just nine days.

There’s no reason to rush a leadership election — especially after a defeat.

Stephen Miller has been a true conservative warrior since his days as a Senate staffer, a staunch defender of law and order against illegal invasions and leftist lawlessness, and a steadfast fighter for President Trump for over a decade. He will be an excellent White House Chief of Staff!

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

"I am pleased to announce that Mr. Stephen Miller, the current Deputy Chief of Staff of the Trump Administration, and one of my most trusted advisors, will become the Chief of Staff starting Monday, November 9, 2026. Susie Wiles, who has done an outstanding job, will be moving over to the Trump Political Operation. I want to thank her for her service as Chief of Staff — She has done a great job!" - President Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸

[Mike Lee @SenMikeLee]

I’m no fan of pro forma sessions and I’m on record urging our leadership to allow recess appointments.

To my knowledge, President Trump has not demanded that they stop—if and when he does, I’ll back him up every inch of the way.

[Steve Ferguson @lsferguson]

Hey @SenMikeLee: On November 2, why did you convene a Senate pro-forma session to prevent President Trump from making recess appointments?

Inquiring minds want to know!
