The house isn't even in session but I've still got taxes being withheld. That's taxation without representation (even worse for AZ 7).

I'm also beyond annoyed that the vast majority of Senate/House Dems are hammering on healthcare and totally ignoring that they are taking our money and using it to fund a campaign of terrorism against ourselves. We should not even have to pay taxes if ICE exists.

COLLINS: The Dept of Energy just canceled $1b for a hydrogen hub that covers Montana. Is that taking away good-paying jobs?

SHEEHY: Of course it is. We want govt to be open

C: But the Energy Secretary says he would've pulled that funding even if govt was open

S: ... Well, that's unfortunate

Between people having to kayak to work in both Alaska and Jersey and Long Island posting sad videos of Halloween decor floating down their streets and the Bay Area staring at their submerged cars, I really think it’s time to stop claiming climate change isn’t real.

More false information from Sen. Daines • Daily Montanan

Montana Sen. Steve Daines isn't even trying to be objective or fact-based after attacking the drug, mifepristone.

Most of them are less than half naked, let alone entirely naked. This is the most Portland thing ever which is great. It's also completely inoffensive in comparison to what they're protesting against.

I think Pritzker said he's looking into actually prosecuting but I'll believe it when I see it. They're out of control nothing more than criminals and they should be treated as such.

I covered politics as a reporter more than a decade ago.
I’m back in the swing and I have some news for you, America:
The divide isn’t political anymore — it’s ethical.
Corrupt or not.
That’s the line now.

"The Attorney General rewrote a simple, straightforward ballot statement simply because he doesn’t like the policy, attempting to prevent Montanans from having a fair chance to weigh in on how they want their judges elected." That's what we get for allowing a criminal to be our AG. Let's do better.

Attorney General approves, rewrites, second nonpartisan judges ballot initiatives, which then drew a lawsuit. #mtnews

Attorney General approves, rewrites, second nonpartisan judges ballot initiatives • Daily Montanan

Lawsuit before state Supreme Court asserts rewritten ballot measure is ‘misleading and prejudicial;’ now a second measure has identical language

I like dark chocolate and have a square a couple times a week. It's $6.99 now. They were $3 a year ago. It's better for the environment that I stop eating chocolate anyway but I have to reiterate that it's $7 now. I guess I'll have a few grains of American grown beet sugar for dessert instead.

Hmmm I wonder if China could have stopped buying our soy because someone started a trade war with them.

NO. It's fundamentally inappropriate for the @dscc.bsky.social to form a fundraising committee with Janet Mills. What happened to staying OUT of the primaries?

This is some of the best political news I've seen in a very long time.

There's a clear a way to end the Citizens United precedent by changing state incorporation laws - and now luminaries in both parties are forcing a vote on it in the 2026 election.

Right. Erin mostly keeps his positions on trans/human rights in the spotlight but there's so much under the surface and he is very savvy with social media so he could fool a lot of people.

That's extremely unfortunate and although I support anyone fighting against Trump in that endeavor, I appreciate you for continuing to call attention to his stance and votes on these issues because I believe he wants to run for president and I would be uncomfortable voting for him and would like

I'm pretty plugged in and yes the first I've seen say it so people who aren't perpetually watching politics are definitely not hearing it. They're starting to improve on messaging but still not anywhere near where they should be at this point.

Good morning.

Democrats have no obligation to vote for a budget that funds corruption and totalitarianism.

Trump is willing to do whatever it takes to destroy our democracy and pad the pockets of billionaires.

People don't want Democrats to wilt. They want us to fight.
