As the Senate primes to vote on the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" this weekend, a public land sale provision has been top of mind for Montana's congressional delegation.

In a letter sent to House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-Louisiana, five representatives, led by Montana western Rep. Ryan Zinke, called public land sales a “poison pill,” and if the bill returns to the House with a provision for selling federal land, the legislation will not pass muster.

Groups from across the political spectrum have raised alarm about Sen. Lee's original proposal to sell millions of acres of public lands across the West.
