Tomorrow House Energy will have a hearing on SB 109 which redistricts the Public Service Commission. Before transmittal, Senate Rs waited until the last second to amend the bill to a gerrymandered map that splits 6 major cities #mtpol #mtnews #mtleg

HB448, the Republican-sponsored “Right to Work” bill does not protect workers. Those in states w/ RTW laws earn demonstrably less:
16% < for police & firefighters
11% < for construction workers
7% < for RNs
5% < for teachers

At today’s Health & Human Services Subcommittee meeting, the @GovGianforte admin announces they are $17 MILLION over budget at the State Hospital.

Our patients & families deserve better leadership. It’s time to get serious about requalifying for Medicare funding. #mtpol #mtnews

Senator @SteveDaines is dangerously preoccupied with controlling women’s healthcare and reproductive freedom. Your rights and your state constitution are on the Ballot this November. #mtnews #mtpol

EXCLUSIVE: Cancer deaths among firefighters are skyrocketing.

The country’s biggest firefighters union and the city fire chiefs are warning that the gear that firefighters wear may be preloaded with cancer-causing chemicals, according to studies.

@tomcostellonbc reports.

Under @GovGianforte, MSH ran millions of $ over budget, faced unprecedented staffing shortages & ultimately lost fed funding. MT wants to know: What's next?

Gianforte is keeping those who rely on MSH in the dark. Montanans deserve answers. #mtpol #mtnews

We’re going to get the PACT Act done, and it’ll because these veterans and their families never stopped advocating for our country to live up to the promises we made them.

[Archive: Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester]

We aren't done until it's done, but the #PACTAct is finally getting another vote in the Senate right now.

A big thanks to @jonstewart for his advocacy on this critical issue, and to all the veterans and advocates who have pushed so hard to get this bill across the finish line.

@MTMaryAnn Hoping for a speedy recovery. Take care!

In the 21st century, access to high-speed internet is essential.

And yet, over 30 million Americans – especially people in rural areas, tribal lands and underserved communities – lack access to this necessity.

The Biden-Harris administration will change that.

Here is the bipartisan letter, led by Majority Leader Sue Vinton, that was delivered to Billings Public Schools yesterday advocating for student Emily P.

“The uprising against the Republican officeholders has everything to do with the policies they are enacting, not the letter behind their name.”

Montanans are SICK and TIRED of Republican incompetence. DO YOUR JOBS.

Today, MT House Dems & @MTSenateDems tried again to send retention bonuses to MT's frontline health care workers. Once again, Republicans blocked this common-sense proposal. #priorities #mtleg #mtpol

@BillyMcWillia12 Yes they can, I do!

Frank Little and the Butte strikes of 1914 mentioned on the floor. The workers of Butte and of Montana electrified the country.

100 years later, Rep Derek Harvey of Butte leads the fight for working Montanans against the Koch’a anti-worker agenda.

[Montana House Democrats @MTHouseDems]

@DerekRep's grandfather, injured in a mining accident, was only able to provide for his family because of the protections that union rights afforded him.

#mtpol #mtleg

[Montana House Democrats @MTHouseDems]

WATCH: @DerekRep makes an impassioned case against HB 251, a bill gutting union protections in Montana.

"Blood was shed on the streets of my district in Butte for the rights that this bill is seeking to strip away."
