The Held v Montana is a victory for all Montanans. Instead of passing laws that limit our ability to regulate pollution, the state now must consider how its policies affect the health and wellbeing of its citizens and environment and follow the MT constitution.”

🚨: Today, MT Senators upheld our best-in-the-nation #streamaccess laws by voting down SB 497.
Montanans value our #publicaccess & by voting down this bill our Senators ensured that it wouldn't be threatened to benefit private property.
Good work, MT!

New poll shows 84% of Montanans support the Blackfoot Clearwater Stewardship Act.
Since 2017, “Senator @SteveDaines, who sits on the Senate Natural Resources Committee, has continually blocked its passage.”
What gives Senator Daines?!

It has been 16 months since @POTUS nominated Laura Daniel Davis to be assistant secretary of @Interior for land and minerals management, but certain politicians choose to play political games and leave the job empty.
We need the Senate to #ConfirmDanielDavis ASAP!
3 DAYS UNTIL ELECTION DAY, MT: Please vote for public lands, clean water and our kids!
“Montana’s future is on the ballot this election cycle.”

Senate Republicans BLOCKED the #PACTAct, critical health care for veterans with illness caused by toxic burn pits.
Even though many Republicans supported it just weeks ago.
And they celebrated.
Since enactment this has meant $15B for conservation.
In 2020, Montana received $24M from PR and Dingell-Johnson (the equivalent for fishing).
This is big money. @MattForMontana is pushing a bill to defund conservation.
Full stop. #mtpol#mtnews#pittmanrobertson
A few folks have asked how PR dollars are tied to the gun industry.
PR revenue from federal excise taxes on firearms and archery equipment funds state fish and wildlife agencies for wildlife management and hunter education.
#mtpol#mtnews#pittmanrobertson
ICYMI… NRA darling @MattForMontana recently co-sponsored legislation to repeal Pittman-Robertson. PR dollars have successfully funded wildlife mgmt & hunting programs since 1937.
Would love to know if the NRA is going to drop their support.

.@SteveDaines, the only Senator who in one night voted against common sense legislation to address gun violence while also leading one of the largest public lands giveaways in MT history.
He’s not MT’s champion & he’s sure as heck not a “conservation champion.” #mtpol#mtnews
Justice Thomas was the sole member of the Supreme Court who would have allowed records from Trump, Meadows, et al to be withheld from House Jan 6 Committee. He did not explain his reasoning. We need answers. https://t.co/u43bmmxK9y
The CIA memo was unequivocal: a Soviet gas pipeline would bring "serious repercussions" to Europe by making it dangerously dependent on Russian fuel.
The agency wasn’t briefing Biden. It was advising Reagan more than four decades ago.
