14 years ago, the Supreme Court made one of the most disastrous decisions in our nation's history.
Citizens United opened the floodgates for dark money to control our elections. This unlimited secret cash has made a mess of our democracy—and I’m fighting to end it.
Agree w/you, @ChrisWillman.
I was mentioned in the piece, so I’ll weigh in. I think it was awful of @nytimes to publish.
Triggering for me to read— not because the writer mentioned my nearly ending my life— but seeing a public person’s sexuality being discussed is upsetting.
Tonight I asked Erin to marry me.
A year ago, I told Erin that I was looking for a love that felt like home.
I have found that and so much more. I have found my future, my family, and my forever.
Rep. Zooey Zephyr filed a lawsuit challenging the disciplinary action that banned her from the House floor, anteroom or gallery, the latest in a standoff between Zephyr and Republican leaders consuming the final days in the 68th Montana Legislature. #mtleg https://t.co/miMJZt6gML
Some lovely friends saved me a spot on the bench outside the House antechamber, so seat 31 is back to its original home-away-from-home.
Also thank you to the folks who brought me the earrings and corsage. I am carrying your kindness with me today.
Holly Michaels reporting that press was not allowed to take notes in the public space in today's Judiciary committee hearing.
Each and every step of the way, Republicans have picked the most anti-democratic path available to them.
Hate in full display in Montana today. After Rep. Zephyr has been sitting in the benches outside of the house to do her work, conservative activists are allegedly sitting in those same benches to prevent her from doing so.
Let her speak.
I will be in House Judiciary this morning, and House Health & Human Services tomorrow.
Looking forward to representing my constituents in both of these hearings.
Thursday, Republicans moved several bills out of my committees, preventing me from representing my constituents not only on the floor, but in committee.
The (D) vice-chair of Judiciary called out their actions.
The next day, Republicans scheduled new hearings in my committees.
I'm suing.
The recent actions violate my 1st amendment rights, as well as the rights of my 11,000 constituents to representation.
Montana's State House is the people’s House, not Speaker Regier’s, and I’m determined to defend the right of the people to have their voices heard.
Montana Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte on Friday signed a ban on gender-affirming medical treatments for transgender minors, making the state one of 11 that have passed similar laws this year. Senate Bill 99 is slated to go into effect October 1. #mtnews https://t.co/pgFQ9qAnyC

In late March, David Gianforte made an appointment to talk about three bills with Montana’s Republican governor, Greg Gianforte, who happens to be his father. David told his father the bills will harm the LGBTQ+ community he’s a part of. #mtnews https://t.co/OTRaz2Pqpp
Amazing. The Clerk of the House Judiciary Committee just quit her job to join Rep. Zephyr's staff.
Here they are seated at the esteemed seat 31.
They're building a movement.
Previously expelled TN State Rep Justin Jones: "We must stand together, we stand with you Representative Zephyr in whatever we can do to support, let you know we are standing in solidarity from Tennessee because we know this is a very dangerous trend"
