I'm going to a smaller one for the next one. They need our support more than I need to wave to my friends.

Around 150 at the No Kings Protest in Choteau, MT stretching around our courthouse. I'm so proud of my community. Lots of honks and waves from people passing by.

Get down with your bad self Chateau. Great Turnout!

I would say somewhere in the 3000-3500 range. That is a little less than 10% of the population of the town or around 5% of the total valley.

Republicans still don’t have the votes. KEEP CALLING, THERE’S STILL TIME TO KILL THE BILL.

The best Ryan Zinke can do at this moment is potentially kill hundreds of thousands of people by taking away their healthcare.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · Jul 2

listen to this clip of Ryan Zinke while keeping in mind that this is supposed to be an ENDORSEMENT of the bill

Let's hope @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social has a lot of magic minutes in him tonight. @booker.senate.gov do you think he can break your record for longest speech?

Trent Bolger @trentbolger.bsky.social · Jul 2

You should call in the morning and ask how he thinks his budget will look without Medicaid matches from the Federal Government.

Call your Congressman. Looks like they are voting on the Boats for Billionaires Act (Republican's Budget bill)tomorrow before they head out for the weekend. Nothing like taking away health care for 17 million Americans before some hotdogs. #mtpol Downing: ‪(202) 225-3211‬ Zinke: (202) 225-5628

In Minnesota only a Grand Jury can charge 1st degree murder. I expect those to be upgraded shortly.
