Theodore Roosevelt spent much of his life out under open sky — in the Maine woods as a sickly boy learning to push his body, in the North Dakota Badlands mending a broken heart on horseback, and later on the rims of canyons and the floors of forests he would fight to protect for the rest of us. What he learned in those wild places he carried into the presidency. He believed the land was not ours to use up. It was held in trust — borrowed from the people not yet born. Standing before the Grand Canyon, he put it plainly: "Leave it as it is. You can not improve on it. The ages have been at work on it, and man can only mar it. What you can do is to keep it for your children, your children's children, and for all who come after you, as one of the great sights which every American if he can travel at all should see." That idea — that we are caretakers, not owners — is the heart of his conservation legacy: roughly 230 million acres set aside during his presidency, a gift still unfolding more than a century later. Take a walk somewhere green this week. He would have told you it was the most American thing you could do. #OTD #OnThisDay #TheodoreRoosevelt #Conservation #PublicLands #GrandCanyon #DareGreatly

Sports fans are paying too much and getting too little when it comes to access and affordability of games. My opening statement today on Capitol Hill.

🇺🇸 Just a guy who flew 39 combat missions talking to a guy who was machine gunning on D-Day. Greatest Generation. Built Different. 🫡🇺🇸

Western civilization wasn't an accident. Men like St. Boniface built it, one mission, one monastery, one convert at a time. June 5 is his feast day. Honor him by being bold about what you believe. ✝️
