Serious stuff:

Tester released the following statement after the Senate failed to move forward with legislation approving the Keystone XL Pipeline:

“I’m disappointed the Senate today failed to pass bipartisan legislation that creates jobs and increases energy security.  We need to seize every common-sense opportunity to move this country forward.  I remain optimistic that – despite today’s vote – Congress will find ways to work together to strengthen our nation.”
