Great to hear from the folks in #ButteMT today about concerns on the ground. We’re working for small government that works for the people and stays the hell out of our business. #ReillyforAmerica

When it comes to independent Seth Bodnar, the Democrats running for #MTSen have attitudes that range from hostile to indifferent. Jon Tester has encouraged Dems to rally around Bodnar, but it doesn't sound like anyone wants to play ball. Good roundup from Jonathon Ambarian at KTVH:

Montanans expect federal leaders to respect the way states run their elections. How does weakening the system most Montanans rely on to vote serve the people of Montana?

Women in Montana working full time earn about 71 cents for every dollar earned by men. Equal work should mean equal pay. Fair laws and fair workplaces are essential to real equality. #WomensMonth #MontanaWomen #SecondWoman

Rancher, railroad engineer, social worker, physical therapist. Working people deserve representation in our democracy. At the #MansfieldMetcalf in Helena this weekend, I’m inspired by the many Montanans who show up to run, serve, and represent their neighbors and communities. #ReillyforMontana

Thank you to Mayor Collins for your support and for joining me at the Montana State Capitol in Helena to file for U.S. Senate today!

I’m calling out every politician who takes AIPAC dollars. Foreign influence has no place in our elections, foreign policy or legislation. #NoAIPAC #ReillyforMontana #MontanaFirst

I do not traffic in or promote conspiracy theories. But I also refuse to turn a blind eye to what is plainly happening to our democracy. My latest. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

The U.S. Constitution requires Congress to authorize war. The president has not sought that authority. He is abusing his power and undermining America. I oppose this war and any unnecessary loss of life. I pray for the safety of our service members and civilians in harm’s way.

We don’t want data centers in #Montana without oversight. We don’t want a call on our water. We don’t want high energy rates. We don’t want to show up at a public meeting to find it’s a trade show. The public needs a voice in the debate, not just the opportunity to submit a written comment.

Silence is not neutrality. Sanctioning investigators is not transparency. Montanans know better. We don’t protect child predators or rapists, no matter who they are. Let’s take a look at Daines’ track record protecting human traffickers.

Absolutely not. I will fight the dirty money paying off our politicians to bring these centers to our state. I will castrate any of my opponents who've made money from data mining. They know who they are. You've been warned. This is a call on our water in #Montana.

No matter who paid to get results from the poll soon to drop in #Montana, it's going to show Daines is vulnerable. We know. We've known since I announced for office Nov. 6, 2024. I'm not paying to get numbers I want to see. I'll do the work on the ground instead. #ReillyforMontana #mtnews #mtpol

Over the past weeks, I’ve visited county elections offices across Montana. From county to county, I spend time with the professionals who register voters, safeguard private information, administer elections, and count every ballot. You can trust them to do their jobs.

Democratic political consultants see Montana as a place to earn a living from dark money donors. I’m fighting on the ground to disrupt this system.

“I’m in love with Montana. For other states I have admiration, respect, recognition, even some affection. But with Montana it is love." ― John Steinbeck

I’m in #BrowningMT hearing from ag producers on Blackfeet lands about how they’re dealing with persistent drought. In each community across the state, the issues on the ground drive the health of the community. I show up for our ag producers and for every Montanan. #ReillyforMontana

We will never normalize the idea of nationalizing elections to protect a party from losing. Do not assume the system will self-correct. Do not treat “wait for the midterms” as a plan. #mtpol #mtnews Read more: reillyneill.substack.com/p/montana-ru...

Never forget: Pam Bondi and Kash said there was nothing in the Epstein files back in March

Unlike Steve Daines, I will never protect child predators. I’ll call them out and hold them accountable. That’s how we do it in #Montana. #ReillyforMontana

“My entire policy is built on what Montanans need, not what I need, not what I want to see in D.C., but what Montanans need and leading on that.” #ReillyforMontana

Standing room only in #BroadviewMT at the community data center meeting Monday. The proposed data center here would use as much power as all Montana and need millions of gallons of our water for just one facility. Leave our water alone. Montanans, not corporations, deserve representation here.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

In #BillingsMT this week attending the Community Air Service Annual breakfast. I support making our airports safe, efficient and sustainable and will make sure we fund our essential air service across rural #Montana. #ReillyforMontana

Today we reflect on what could be. We've gone backwards now in America and the dream of MLK is being extinguished. The people will not let this happen. I hear this every day on the ground in #Montana. “We must learn to live together as brothers or we will die together as fools.” #mlkday

To honor Lee Metcalf's 115th birthday this year, we're hosting a series of public forums starting in Eastern Montana. Metcalf stood with farmers, teachers, nurses, veterans, ranchers and our elders, not corporations. Montana deserves that kind of backbone again. #ReillyforMontana #Metcalf115

Most Montanans learned long ago that a hard winter is easier to face when the shed is stocked, the neighbors are close, and the equipment works. A loss of constitutional order deserves the same clear-eyed preparation, not because of fear.

If her claims were real, proving them would be simple. Show two ballots cast and counted and not reconciled. Show indictments or prosecutions. Show convictions. #MontanaVotes

A tour today in Lewis and Clark National Forest shows why rangers matter: bringing people together, opening access, and sharing our history. As U.S. Senator, I’ll always support the rangers and programs that keep our public lands working for Montanans.

Our efforts have always had one focus, achieving the goal of eliminating corporate & dark money in our politics. Now more than ever we need all Montanans to stand with us as we once again move through a process disruptdarkmoney.feather.blog/tei-files-t...

Data centers are a huge, ugly issue for #Montana. No Montanan wants tax breaks for billionaires, regulation loopholes, increased costs to residents and a clear #CallOnOurWater for corporate profits. Standing room only tonight in #GreatFallsMT and not one Congressional representative present.

We don’t need warmongers from #Montana in the Senate. This goes against our Montana values and traditions. The invasion of Venezuela is about oil, not drugs, not even democracy. Montanans will not tolerate needless suffering, whether imposed abroad or at home. #ReillyforMontana #mtnews #mtpol

At the Healthcare Town Hall in Kalispell today with retired and active providers, patients, and community leaders. No one from Logan Health was present. The profit-driven healthcare model is failing in #Montana. Daines has failed our state. I’m ready to get to work on community-based solutions.

Aligning with authoritarian leaders is a moral collapse. Montanans reject brutality, terror, and genocide. Human rights do not stop at our borders. Across the nation and the world. I'll always stand up against authoritarian regimes. #IStandWithUkraine #ReillyforMontana

Daines peddles lies when it comes to rural medicine and healthcare. His only concern is lining his own hip pocket. I’ve got real solutions. Read more: reillyneill.substack.com/p/dont-mess-...

Thanks to Ranger Ben for a great #FirstHike and interpretive tour this morning at Pictograph Cave State Park in #YellowstoneCounty! Happy to meet so many Montanans enjoying our #TreasureState on this gorgeous New Year’s Day. #MontanaFirst #MontanaStateParks #ReillyforMontana

#Montana has free and fair elections because of county election clerks, 56 of them. I trust every one of them. I don't trust the Secretary of State in Helena to protect our right to vote. As U.S. Senator, protecting #Montana elections is my job. #ReillyforMontana #MontanaFirst

The holidays remind us that strong communities raise strong kids. In rural Montana, after-school and summer learning programs help deliver equal opportunity for families who work the land and support Main Street. #MTPol #PublicEducation reillyneill.substack.com/p/montana-ki...

On Christmas Eve, #Montana ag producers are still at work. Cows need feed. Equipment needs tending. While many of us gather around a holiday table, Montana’s ag communities are still in the fields, barns, and feedlots. For the hands that never stop working, thank you #MTAG.

Out here, help can be miles away. In #Montana, rural healthcare is not optional. Daines cut $150 billion from rural healthcare to fund tax cuts for himself, then didn't even show up for a vote to save coverage for 70k Montanans. Montanans deserve healthcare. It’s that simple.

#Montana families have sent sons and daughters into military service for generations. We expect leaders to explain why they put American forces into harm’s way. I never question the bravery of service members. I question the judgment of leaders who authorize lethal force without clear legal basis.

Join us Dec. 5th in Butte! #SecondWoman

From rangelands to parklands and public forests, public lands belong to every Montanan, not Daines’ corporate donors. Read more: reillyneill.substack.com/publish/post...

Agriculture and public schools hold our towns together in rural #Montana. Without federal support, both collapse. Someone needs to make sure Montanans get our fair share of public benefits from the Federal taxes we pay. #FireDaines #HireReilly Read more: reillyneill.substack.com/p/demolishin...

He’s embraced policies that weakened Montana’s independence. He’s tolerated foreign leverage that harmed our producers. His choices align with the central authority model used by the Chinese government, not with the democratic model Montanans honor.

The people I meet across #Montana never ask for handouts. They want to live in the towns where they grew up and see their children and friends do the same. They want leadership that understands what they face every day. Read more: reillyneill.substack.com/p/affordabil...

Working Montanans are being laid off, priced out, and left behind while the GOP dismantles democracy and Democratic leadership continues to play along. #MontanaFirst #ReillyforMontana #MontanaLeads Read more: reillyneill.substack.com/p/leadership...

Since Citizens United, candidates have had to spend an enormous amount of time raising money. I’ve spent the last year on the ground instead, listening to Montanans and building a platform that reflects our shared concerns. reillyneill.substack.com/p/blame-citi...

Lines stretch around the block at food pantries in #Montana communities and Daines? He's eating off a gold plate in D.C. Hard-working Montanans are going hungry and losing healthcare. Daines sits four chairs from Trump and does NOTHING to stand up for our state. #mtpol #mtnews #ReillyforMontana
