A 2022 decision to place environmental protections on the lesser prairie-chicken was vacated today.
This judicial decision will benefit Kansas ag and energy. I'm thankful for @POTUS & his administration's work on this outcome."
Later that day, at 19:00 UTC, Estes highlighted tax provisions intended to assist rural communities in Kansas. He stated: "The 100% immediate expensing provision in One Big, Beautiful Bill is a tax benefit that helps Kansas farmers expense their tools and machinery.
