Big Sky Democrats

The Official Young Democrats of Montana Chapter. Building the next generation of progressive leadership in The Last Best Place

[Montana Democratic Party @MTDems]

Made some good trouble this weekend! Proud of you always, Montana💙 #mtpol #april5th

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Republican Representative Don Bacon just announced he is introducing legislation to take away Donald Trump’s ability to impose tariffs. Even Republicans hate Trump’s plans. Let’s go.

[Montana Democratic Party @MTDems]

Take 30 minutes this weekend to catch up with Montana politics! The Blue Bench podcast drops every Friday afternoon. We discuss the legislature, Montana politics, and whatever else comes our way! #mtpol

[Montana Democratic Party @MTDems]

This bill from Congressional Republicans is a threat to the voting rights of thousands of Montanans. It disproportionately affects married women, as well as low-income and rural Montanans. Voting should be easy, not something that requires $200 and a three-hour drive. #mtpol

[Steve K. Fox @UiSionniagh]

Facts: Montana exports $869 million in goods to Canada annually & imports $6.8 billion from Canada each year. We sell more to Canada than to our next seven largest foreign markets combined. Two of our outa state residents, @SteveDaines & @TimSheehyMT, “couldn’t care less!”

[James Reavis @ReavisforMT]

SB 42 defeated. #mtnews #mtpol #mtleg

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

BREAKING: I'm placing a hold on President Trump's nominee for U.S. Attorney in DC.

For the past few weeks, Ed Martin has been a one-man wrecking ball. Threatening opponents, firing public servants, and using his office to chill free speech.

His nomination must be blocked.

[Democrats @TheDemocrats]

Senator @CoryBooker continues to hold the floor after 23 hours.

[Sen. Cory Booker @SenBooker]

Americans aren’t a line item in a budget to cut. Your story matters, your voice matters, this fight matters.

[Senator Angela Alsobrooks @Sen_Alsobrooks]

We are extraordinarily proud of Senator Cory Booker.

I would dare say, in so many ways, he is our ancestors' dream.

22 hours - and he is still going.

[Jasmine Crockett @JasmineForUS]

Thank you Senator @CoryBooker!

That’s it…. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[Congresswoman Sara Jacobs @RepSaraJacobs]

BIG NEWS: We won! And Speaker Johnson is so mad he canceled the rest of the week’s votes!

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

We needed to do something exceptional to raise public awareness of the treachery that is underfoot - the Republican plan to kick millions off their health care in order to fund a massive tax cut for the wealthy. That’s what my friend @CoryBooker is doing (with some help) today.

[Sarah Longwell @SarahLongwell25]

Trump is deporting people with legal status and no criminal convictions to foreign hellhole’s without due process.

His idiot team is sharing classified attack plans on insecure channels and accidentally including a reporter.

He’s pushing us toward a recession.

He’s threatening to invade allies.

They’re grabbing students off the streets and deporting them for legally protected speech.

He’s attacking every part of our judicial system from judges to law firms.

He’s letting an unaccountable MAGA billionaire illegally dismantle the government.

That same MAGA billionaire is working to buy elections by literally handing out million dollar checks to people.

Republicans are helping him.

We’re losing the things that are great about America—free speech, due process, strong allies, a functional legal system—right in front of our eyes.

America better find its backbone, and soon.

[U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen @RepPettersen]

I’m back in DC with Sam to demand that Speaker Johnson hold a vote on our bipartisan resolution to allow new moms and dads to vote remotely while caring for their newborns.

Speaker Johnson himself has voted remotely 39 times—but now he’s pulling every trick in the book to stop our resolution.

New parents shouldn’t be blocked from doing their jobs just because they’re starting a family.

We’re going to keep fighting until we get this done.

[Brad @BraddrofliT]

BREAKING: Senator Jeanne Shaheen has introduced a Constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United ruling.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Koh: I think if this is a president who really wanted to empower workers, he wouldn't have just stripped 700,000 people of their collective bargaining rights. If this was a president who really wanted to empower workers, he wouldn't have cut $500 million of labor protections and labor investigations across the world. If this was a president who really cared about empowering workers. He wouldn't have tried to change a rule last time he was president that would have made it easier for managers to take from the tip pools of their servers. This is all a farce.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

"You can't lead the people if you can't love the people."

We're all with you, @SenBooker.
