Simpson's FY27 Interior spending bill strips federal protection from gray wolves and from grizzlies in two ecosystems, blocks grizzly recovery in two more, blocks wolverine protections, and cuts Endangered Species Act listing money by nearly half — with judicial review barred on the delistings so nobody can challenge them in court.
She called DOGE's work reassuring, voted to confirm RFK Jr., then watched the cuts wipe out the NIOSH facility in Morgantown. A miner with black lung and a federal judge forced it back. Seven weeks after the firings she was still telling Kennedy she supported the vision.
Section 453 was buried in the Interior-EPA funding bill Simpson chairs. It would have shielded Bayer — which has already paid about $11 billion to roughly 100,000 cancer plaintiffs — from failure-to-warn suits. It took Democrats six months to get it out.
H. Res. 211 said each remaining day of 2025 'shall not constitute a calendar day' for purposes of ending the tariff emergency Trump declared that February. The Rules Committee reported it 9-3. The manager was Fischbach — who represents 30,000 farms.
Fischbach sent more taxpayer-funded mass communications than any other member of Minnesota's delegation — 55 last year and 50 more in the first quarter of 2026. She has never held an in-person town hall in her district, and constituents were still asking for one last November.
In twelve days she demanded the Senate pass a national photo ID mandate the House had bolted onto an ethics bill, then cosponsored a second photo ID bill the day before it was voted on. She has been a cosponsor of the SAVE Act since December. As Florida's attorney general she treated help for eligible voters as a crime worth calling the FBI over.
The Fraternal Order of Police and the police chiefs' association both oppose H.R. 38 — they say it cancels qualified immunity for officers and leaves permits unverifiable. Evans cosponsored it on January 9, 2025. In Colorado he also pushed to arm teachers.
On July 29 he stood on the Senate floor demanding the House-passed Stop Insider Trading Act pass by unanimous consent. The bill bans buying stock. It requires no one to divest. The senator whose portfolio gained an estimated $8.6 million in a single month would not have to sell anything.
The Big Horn detention center in Hudson would nearly double Colorado's immigrant detention capacity. Evans said he had 'a lot of heartburn' about ICE entering homes without a warrant — then used 23 seconds of his hearing time on it.
