What this means
In Senate floor remarks dated September 22, 2026, Majority Leader John Thune contrasted the Republican agenda with California policies he associated with national Democrats, criticizing taxation, energy regulation and immigration approaches. He highlighted pending resolutions by Senators Ricketts, Husted, Schmitt, Sullivan, Moreno and Lummis targeting California vehicle, shipping-vessel and small-engine rules. The release presents his political claims and predictions about affordability, migration and Democratic intentions; it does not report that those pending resolutions became law or created a new resident benefit.
