Yes, we honor these heroes for defending America and our allies with their lives. What we won’t do is dishonor their sacrifice by turning Memorial Day into a cheap political attack. Their memory deserves better.
There is no moral ambiguity here. There is only one side in this fight that raped, tortured, and mutilated women, children, and families for fun. Thank you for your moral clarity, @SenFettermanPA.
This week I will introduce and seek unanimous consent for legislation providing express approval for construction of a Presidential ballroom.
It is an embarrassment to the strongest nation on earth that we cannot host gatherings in our nation’s capital, including ones attended by our President, without the threat of violence and attempted assassinations.
There is no place for political violence in America. Unfortunately, it seems, too many people believe trying to kill our President and members of our government is acceptable.
A President of any party should be able to host events in a secure area without attendees worrying about their safety.
This is common sense. Let’s get it done.
Godspeed to the Artemis II crew. Yesterday @NASA launched them on the most daring space mission since Apollo. They are a tribute to the enterprising spirit of a great nation.
🚨Correction: NONE of the Senate Democrats showed up to work at the Commerce Committee meeting to pass overwhelmingly bipartisan bills.
They don’t show up for work and get paid $175,000 per year!
They fail to pay the salaries of DHS employees who DO show up for work! Disgrace https://t.co/tpHUmxJF1i
Capitol Police were attempting to remove an unhinged protestor from the Armed Services hearing. He was fighting back. I decided to help out and deescalate the situation.
This gentleman came to the Capitol looking for a confrontation, and he got one. I hope he gets the help he needs without causing further violence.
I stepped down from Bridger Aerospace (BAER) - the aerial firefighting company I founded - to run my Senate campaign. That was nearly two years ago. I have had no management role with the company since then.
Inexplicably, Democrats and the liberal media continue to attack a great company serving its community. Bridger's sole mission is to battle wildfires that threaten homes, communities, and lives across the West. So while fires burn across the country, they attack a company doing good work in their community.
This isn’t a social media company rotting the brains of our youth or a meme coin; this is airplanes flying at tree-top level, piloted and maintained by hardworking, blue-collar employees, many of them veterans, putting their lives on the line to save the lives of strangers.
I didn’t sit in the office and drink martinis. I led from the front. Just as I did in the military, I took every risk my employees did. I flew air attack, surveillance, and waterbombers myself, on hundreds of missions around the country.
Aerial firefighting is one of the deadliest jobs in the world, which I know all too well having lost friends and barely surviving a crash. It appears the NYT would like cities around the country to burn down, because it's clear they don't care about the people affected.
During my campaign, we saw a pattern: coordinated attempts at fake investigations, short-selling pressure on the stock, and one-sided hit pieces. This was Democrat-orchestrated stock manipulation and fraud. Criminal activity. All aimed at a company that deploys cutting-edge tech and skilled crews to suppress fires faster and more effectively. Why? Because its founder was a Republican running for office.
Even now, as a sitting senator who stepped down from the company, the attacks persist. The latest example: an inquiry from New York Times reporter @ByMikeBaker. My team received questions implying the company is "struggling" or in distress despite record revenue yet again. We're publishing our full, detailed responses here because experience shows NYT often omits context to fit a false narrative.
The truth is the NYT is no longer attacking me. They are out to hurt the hardworking employees of Bridger Aerospace who are all stockholders. Shame on you, NYT. Although, we shouldn’t be surprised since you are also defending a murderous terrorist regime.
The claim of a "struggling" company is detached from reality. In truth, the only struggles the company ever had began in 2023 when Democrats and the media began their coordinated assault on an American success story. They tried to kill the company, and they failed. I’ve included the actual revenue trend - clear, sustained growth. This isn't spin - it's public financials. Revenue for the company has and continues to climb.
From $400 in 2014 looking for missing cattle to $120+ million in 2025, the team fought through COVID, record Biden inflation, the record housing cost increase in MT, the entire media and government trying to kill it, and much more. Yet still, this amazing team survives and thrives.
The real story: Bridger employs hardworking aerial firefighters who wake up every day ready to protect communities from devastating blazes. They deserve respect, not smears from fake journalists who have never owned a business, never run a business, and most certainly never risked their lives to protect others.
If the goal is to weaken a proven wildfire-fighting company during an era of increasing fire risk, that's dangerous for Montana and the West. We need more innovation and capability in this space, not less.
Modern Olympics have a strange ritual: every American athlete is forced to genuflect to all of America’s enemies and express sorrow and guilt at representing the Stars and Stripes.
The media does not demand that German athletes apologize for the Holocaust, Irish athletes for decades of IRA terror, Chinese athletes to answer for Uighur genocide, or Australians to justify the oppression of aboriginals. Yet American athletes are unique in their expectation to self loath.
American Eileen Gu cracked that code: she abandoned her country and skied for China instead! The fawning press coverage doesn’t even bat an eye at this betrayal and let’s her skate by without so much as a sideways glance. Her choice is couched in some lofty rhetoric that she identifies as both American and Chinese and her skiing serves a higher calling of inspiring young girls.
The truth is far simpler - the Chinese are paying her a lot of money to betray her country so they can send the message to their own people, and the world, that America is so lost that even its own athletes don’t want to compete for it. So far, it’s working out for them. https://t.co/Ionki5cnPh
Groups like Code Pink sit silent as Iran murders thousands, drug cartels poison our nation, and Islamic terrorists murder innocent Jews. Why? Because they are Marxist guerrilla organizations funded and directed by our enemies.
