Another MTGOP attempt to block Montanans from voting fails. Again. Montana taxpayers pay the court costs for these unconstitutional voter supression bills. I am happy about this ruling but it would be cool if they would learn from their mistakes? #mtpol montanafreepress.org/2026/05/11/j...

"Corporations are not people. They’re not human. They don’t vote or lose sleep over Montana’s future." #mtpol

Trump on Iran War: Reporter: What extent are Americans’ financial situation motivating you to make a deal? Trump: Not even a little bit. I don't think about Americans’ financial situation

Don't make me hurt you, Katie.

Can we go back to calling them weird now?

I want Montana to lean into a real progressive candidate who could win. Win a district that I believe will vote for someone who breaks the usual molds of what it means to be a Democrat in Montana. Someone who is bold and brave and won’t hide from embracing their roots. It’s @samforstag.bsky.social.

When you fire inspectors and deregulate industries, bad things will happen.

It’s election season, y’all! Get that school board ballot in today, and make a plan to vote in the June primary💙 #mtpol

State IT director says AI is being integrated into all state government systems

Our amazing team had another great day meeting our neighbors in SD32! Voters are concerned about public education funding, protecting public lands, and the increasing cost of living in Montana. #mtpol #mtleg

Professional restaurant critic here, I will help any elected official identify whether they’re in a restaurant or a strip club, for a reasonable fee.

Happy May Day, Montana! Workers are the backbone of Montana. #mtpol #mtleg

Hank Green made a website where you can see all the Artemis II photos arranged in a timeline, synced to the crew's timetable and position in space. It's super cool. artemistimeline.com#artemis-ii-w...

There's just really no way to exaggerate how dumb & pathetic & offputting I find everything about this.

AOC just endorsed Sam Forstag in MT01

Proud to be Team Sam now. This race is very, very winnable. And we are going to do it. Get in on the ground floor.

in 2024 mr trump was swept back into office by an angry public who was fed up with not having a ballroom... and he will not stop until he delivers for the american people

Fellow americans, I call on you to ridicule any of these "leaders" telling you a ballroom is an urgent national priority.

I’m Sam Forstag - I’m a smokejumper, a union leader, and I’m running for Congress because for too long, Montanans have been breaking their backs just to fall further behind. Together, we can build an economy that works for working people. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHia...

It's funny that the media fetish for "objectivity" doesn't extend to statements like this, which are obviously & ludicrously false but simply presented as fact.

I'm rewatching the Chernobyl series on HBO, and the opening voiceover from Legasov resonates: "What is the cost of lies? It's not that we'll mistake them for the truth. The real danger is that if we hear enough lies, then we no longer recognize the truth at all."

lol they just lying through it #mtpol

The 2025 Montana Legislature passed SB25, outlawing fake (AI or photo-shopped) images of candidates within 60 days of the election. Does that apply here? #mtpol #mtleg montanafreepress.org/2026/04/23/d...

MONTANA VOTERS Due to a voter suppression bill passed the the MTGOP in 2025, absentee/mail ballot signature MUST include your birth year, or your vote will not be counted. 1000s of Montanan's votes was disqualified for this reason last year. #mtpol #mtleg #mtvotes

I firmly believe presidents & people with control over medical agencies should understand percentages! If *you* don’t, no judgment; I will explain in the next couple posts how they work. The short version is that Senator Warren is correct in the clip, and there’s NO interpretation in which RFKJr is

"Even if this case implodes on impact with a federal court, it will still serve the larger conservative goal of recasting perpetrators of rightwing violence as the real victims."

over at the newsletter I wrote about the White House Correspondents Association dinner, and the pitiful complicity of our broken brunchlord access press

This is insane, tinpot authoritarian shit. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/22/u...

OMG -- the RFK Jr breathing noises during this hearing are absolutely horrifying

Last year, the flu vaccine saved 12,000 lives and prevented over 100,000 hospitalizations according to the CDC.

The AI bubbles longest gift will be showing how easily some people gave up any morals AND technological sense Just to be close to power and money

I am honored to receive the endorsement of the Montana Federation of Public Employees (MFPE). Our public servants work hard to make sure that Montana continues to be the Last Best Place. #mtpol #mtleg

Sen. Sheehy’s plane crash involved NASA administrator’s private aircraft Jared Isaacman owns a private fleet housed in a Bozeman hangar dailymontanan.com/2026/04/15/s...

The richest 10% of Americans own roughly 87% of stocks. The richest 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks. It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.

RFK Jr: We are doing more on maternal health than any other administration LEE: I said Black maternal health RFK Jr: Maternal health LEE: The thing is, they're not the same outcomes, which means we need specific interventions for Black maternal health RFK Jr: Can I finish?

Unbelievable stuff from the Washington Post on behalf of Jeff Bezos today.

We had another great day meeting our neighbors in SD32 and HD64! #mtpol #mtleg

On the one hand, Trump lost his war in Iran. On the other hand, he has propagandists who say the contrary.

Christi Jacobsen still hasn’t shown up to a hearing herself. Her office won’t answer questions from Democratic or Republican legislators - listen for yourself 👀 #mtpol

Incredibly funny to watch the right wing going Oh so just because I love money and hate poor people I'm a bad Christian according to "the pope"???

This has been a long time coming in #mtpol dailymontanan.com/2026/04/09/s...

how much money does the marine corps lose

Montanans want to know how much of our data the MT SoS sent to the feds. Her representative to Legislative audit committee said he couldn't tell them, citing a lawsuit that we aren't a part of. They are trying to evade accountability and oversight using nonsense. #mtpol

Oooo Iris has a friend! Love the Missoula Iris bird cam, our favorite osprey!

Iris the Osprey has returned! 🙌 Our queen roosts in Missoula once more 👑

I went to Sen. Daines (R-MT) office this morning. I read Trump's tweet to them, then told them they are all responsible for letting things become so unhinged and dangerous. They could do something any day now. Like today. Today would be a great day to have the govt actually function as designed.
