I could have stayed on the sidelines and complained about our broken permitting system, but I believe that if you see a problem this serious, you ought to do what you can to help fix it.
It’s time to get America building again. 🏗️
BAAJA is a bipartisan bill with broad support. Glad to see so much goodwill towards lowering prices, creating jobs, and building critical infrastructure!
NEWS: Leaders of the New Democrat Coalition are stepping up their push for the Senate’s bipartisan
energy permitting bill, pitching it as an affordability win.
@SiegelScribe has the story:

BAAJA isn't an overnight solution, but it is a comprehensive & durable bill that will bring down costs in the long-term. That's why every sector of industry is cheering this on.
BAAJA is the most important thing we could pass to address affordability for American families.
BAAJA is good for everyone - except maybe the trial attorneys. Let's get America building again!
What's next for bipartisan permitting reform? In the latest episode of NMA TV's Mining Policy Report, NMA's Ashley Burke sits down with @SenArmstrong of Oklahoma to discuss the importance of permitting certainty, energy affordability and the bipartisan effort to streamline approvals for mining, energy and infrastructure projects. Watch the full interview here: youtu.be/WNwyHjTXBGI
Today, the Senate begins the legislative process on the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act (BAAJA), landmark legislation that strikes at the heart of the current affordability crisis by unlocking our ability to build critical energy infrastructure.
I'm thankful for the opportunity to kick off this exciting week with the @WestCaucusFound & @SenWestCaucus for a discussion on how BAAJA is going to get our nation building again. Let's get to work!
The president is right — BAAJA will lower costs and create great jobs in communities across the nation.
It’s time to get America building again!
America cannot be a 21st century leader if we cannot build. Thank you to @POTUS and the @WhiteHouse team for their support on BAAJA.
New: Amid the headwinds, the White House is throwing its weight behind the permitting bill, viewing the legislation as a legacy win for President Donald Trump as the “developer in chief.”

Leader Jeffries’ constituents pay nearly twice for their energy despite Brooklyn’s dense customer base — and it's due to blocked energy infrastructure.
Compare Brooklyn vs. Tulsa:
• Natural gas: $25–$27 vs. $12/MMBtu
• Electricity: 27–33¢ vs. 15–18¢/kWh
Restricting pipeline infrastructure also relies on higher-emission fuel oil, undermining the very environmental goals such policies are intended to advance.
BAAJA seeks to lower energy costs and accelerate infrastructure development through permitting reform. Jeffries’ opposition raises a fundamental question: How will New Yorkers get more affordable, cleaner energy without the infrastructure to deliver it?
America’s ambitions to strengthen energy security, reshore manufacturing, and lead the world in artificial intelligence depend on one fundamental capability: our ability to build.
BAAJA is the solution to get America building again.

America’s ability to build is stalled by red tape — hurting energy security, manufacturing & AI leadership.
I’m launching a series of blog posts on my website highlighting the ways the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act (BAAJA) will deliver meaningful permitting reform with broad support from industry, utilities, clean energy groups & policy organizations.
It’s time to get America building again.

Great work from @SecDuffy & his team. Our country MUST be able to build.
Restoring America’s energy & maritime DOMINANCE 🇺🇸🛳️
We are cutting red tape to speed up approvals for critical projects like the ST LNG deepwater port off the coast of Texas which will:
✔️ Create 2,000 construction jobs
✔️ Support 855 permanent jobs
✔️ Expand America’s LNG exports
When our energy and maritime industries thrive, America wins @DOTMARAD
The American people are speaking loud and clear: it’s time to get America building again!
Thank you to @PacificLegal & the many great stakeholders who joined this effort. Congress must pass BAAJA!
