Ranked Choice Voting Montana hopes to raise awareness and support for a major shift in state election procedures they say would create a more balanced, representative and responsive government. #mtnews https://t.co/EBHroQniX9

For $1 stolen in shoplifting, there's $5 in wage theft and $100 in tax evasion.

Have you ever heard about a wage theft or tax evasion "crime wave"? What do you think this tells you about how reporters determine what is "news" and what is ignored, and who benefits?

U.S. Sen. Jon Tester is proposing a resolution that requires members of Congress to post their schedules online. Tester's goal is to increase transparency and hold Congress more accountable. https://t.co/R3lbeqjCnC

Tester pushes for lifetime ban of former members of Congress from becoming lobbyists https://t.co/uaTOkN9cMB via @daily_montanan

“The Gianforte administration & Republican legislative leadership are scrambling to cover their mess... They knew this was coming, and refused to do anything about it because their priority is taking care of corporate board rooms.” #mtpol

Giant ag corporations jacking up prices hurts both producers and consumers. I know what it's like to run a family farm, and that's why I won't stop fighting to lower costs by leveling the playing field for our family farmers and ranchers.

A question we should all ask ourselves in 2024: How is it that the @MTGOP sat on an historic $2.5B surplus yet still managed to raise our property taxes? #mtpol #mtsen

😂TN’s own @traecrowder: “I’m from a small town—Aldean sings about being carjacked at a red light… I’m like, a RED LIGHT? What is this, Times Square? He’s from Macon, GA - the fact that you’ve heard of it means it isn’t a small town. They have a TARGET. Might as well be PARIS.”

People in America have the right to get medical care in any state they choose. The idea that pregnant people should only be allowed to get medical care in their home state is absurd. Abortion care is healthcare. Abortion care is legal in Montana. https://t.co/qNB91xpLIh

@RepRosendale @Amtrak @USDOT How about holding BNSF responsible for the condition of their track? What happened to your republican mantras of personal responsibility and less government regulation?

@postbacforever Come over to Spoutible! I would love to get more Montana news there!

[Kurt Eichenwald @kurteichenwald]

Florida wants to teach about "skills" slaves obtained in the antebellum south because "beneficent" slaveholders taught their slaves to read, write, blacksmithing, etc. They say this is supported by "scholars." Well, let's see what the scholars really say.../1

[Jon Tester @jontester]

As a third-generation farmer, I know firsthand how climate change affects Montana. From wildfires to droughts to floods, we must address this issue to protect our Montana way of life.

[Bob Williams @BWilliamsMont]

We do not need nor want a MT sales tax.
We want fair and equitable MT taxation.

GGG & the MT GOP decided to cut MT taxes on income/capital gains/business.
Then impose steep taxes on MT residential properties.

Republicans most always vote for tax cuts for their donor class!

Didn't put this in the story, and I'm not a lawyer, but this case appears just about as open-and-shut as it gets. The affidavit states when Heck was arrested, he admitted he was seeking to pay for sex #mtnews

[Trae Crowder @traecrowder]

Talked about Jason Aldean this weekend.

[The Montana Times @TheMontanaTimes]

Why did GOP Legislature and Governor Gianforte raise our state property taxes by $162 million over the biennium? Stand up for homeowners! Stop blaming the locals and hold Republicans accountable.

Gianforte must go!
