Montana’s public lands are under attack. Trump’s plan to offload federal land will tear apart the wild places that define who we are. We’ve fought before to keep Montana's land public. We’re ready to fight again.

State chair quits. Party scrambles. Mid term hopes crater. Bankhead has no shame. Like Trump, she keeps doubling down, sliming the party. If she’s a Dem, I’m a ham sandwich. #mtpol

There is practically zero team effort by @MTDems to defeat Republicans in #Montana. No matter who takes the U.S. Senate race, dozens of other races down the ballot will be tainted by this dysfunction. #mtpol #mtnews

Some things are worth more than money. A river running free, clean water, open country, the #Montana we inherited, and the Montana we leave behind. Our future is not for sale. Vote like your #publiclands depend on it. Because they do. #MTVotes #Vote2026 #November3

I'm not telling people what to believe in the #mtsen race. I'm letting them hear what was said, see what happened and recognize the contradictions for themselves. #Montanaland

When Bodnar was asked what happened in the lawsuit by the press? He called it “meritless.” Millions and millions of Montanans’ taxpayers spent to defend his ass and make sure no one like him was ever allowed to get away with discrimination, coverups and intimidation, or undermining Title IX reporting and response again. And Seth Bodnar called the lawsuit “meritless.” If you’ve read all I’ve linked, you know that’s a stone-cold lie. But at least he’s showing you exactly who he is. After this election, Bodnar will be tossed on the heap with Buchanan and other egos too full of themselves to do anything but hand our congressional offices to the GOP. Maybe that was the plan all along. I doubt one reporter here has the guts to stand up to the good old boys and report it. Why? Read the 4th Amended Complaint. #mtpol #mtnews #mtsen

Let us not forget the corruption of @MTDems which insures that out here in #Montana, the people are deprived of the opportunity to even potentially participate in standing up for Democracy Please let @jontester @MaxBaucus @stevebullockmt and the rest of the good old boys know what you think of their strategy. Especially on Nov. 4.
Deservedly scathing op-ed by the NYT: “If Democrats retake both houses of Congress, and more state governments than they now control, it will tell the world that Mr. Trump does not represent most Americans. It will demonstrate that a country that starts to slide toward autocracy can move back to normalcy, as happened in Hungary this spring. Most important, it will create a desperately needed check on Mr. Trump during his final two years in office. … In a 21-month span, he has done more harm to democracy and the rule of law than any other president in the modern era and perhaps longer than that. He has broken his oath to defend the Constitution by trying to rewrite it on his own. He has refused to honor Congress’s power of the purse and misused national security laws for political ends. He has defied federal court orders on Medicaid funding, deportation orders and more. He has dismantled the Justice Department’s legacy as an impartial enforcer of federal law, turning it into an instrument of retribution against his adversaries while canceling investigations into his allies. He has appointed inept sycophants to oversee crucial government functions, including law enforcement, national defense and public health. He has sought to disenfranchise large numbers of voters, claiming fraud that cannot be found, and championed an extreme new approach to partisan gerrymandering. He has physically besmirched the White House by demolishing the East Wing and financing a garish renovation with donations from wealthy allies.” nytimes.com/2026/10/27/opini…

The Montanans who have given so much to the @MTDems should finally have some power over its future.

Dark money can buy advertisements. It can buy consultants and even pay to influence candidates and voters. Billionaires are spending millions trying to buy our elections, but no one can buy your vote. Voting IS speaking truth to power. Use that power. #MTVotes #Vote2026 #November3

The path to get to where we are today in #Montana politics is long and winding. We didn’t lose our way overnight. #mtpol #mtnews

Every one of these races was actively undermined by the Chair and ED of the @mtdems. It’s going to be a tough Tuesday next week when the party realizes what we’ve lost by allowing terrible, corrupt leadership to send us astray. #mtnews

A third-party, government-vetted FOIA response is the only way to guarantee a candidate hasn't altered or carefully selected specific pages of their Official Military Personnel File. Federal privacy laws prevent the military from releasing a veteran's full file to the public without a signed release form from the veteran themselves. Because Alani Bankhead will not sign that waiver, her true, comprehensive file remains shielded from journalists and the public. #mtpol #mtsen #mtnews

The fact that officers in that unit were permitted to retire honorably is a total failure to deliver on the accountability Pence promised. In Lyle Bankhead's case, he immediately transitioned to another high-paying federal law enforcement job at the EPA. Now, his wife is splitting the vote for Kurt Alme to advance as U.S. Senator. This is why signing off on a FOIA to release your records is so important. How many Montanans would ever know her husband did anything but "work at the EPA," as she often references, when he actually may owe a lifetime debt for his career to Trump defending his imcompetent and potentially biased behavior towards abused women? What is in Alani's record? #mtpol #mtnews

It's too late now to know fully what Alani Bankhead is lying about or covering up, or Seth Bodnar is lying about for that matter. Both have refused to sign off on a release of their military records. What's hiding in there? Both also have appeared to have lied on their resumes. Not one reporter in our state caught this. Why won't they sign off? Without these records we cannot fact-check Bodnar or Bankhead or who they might be working for. Alme makes it clear he is working for the anti-choice National Christian Foundation. Outlets like the @mtfreepress and @mtpublicradio *SHOULD* cross-reference candidates against local property records, court databases, and public voter registries to establish timelines before running profile pieces. In the #mtsen race, the #mtnews 100%, absolutely, did NOT do this due diligence, neither did the @MTDems. I'm writing in @jamideeW.

No one will stop them. It's likely violating the Hatch Act for the VP to speak at the #YellowstoneAirport. No one's going to do a thing about it. The #Montana media will act like we should welcome and thank the VP for violating our laws while our Congressmen cheer. #mtnews
It should be illegal for the President, VP, and lawmakers in Congress to own, buy, and sell individual stocks.
