Sharing this 102 year old WW2 Vet who is fighting fascism a second time.

#NoKings #RobertHubbel #Meidastouch Around 150 at the No Kings Protest in Choteau, MT stretching around our courthouse. I'm so proud of my community. Lots of honks and waves from people passing by.

Helena, MT #nokings

Boy, the online troll farms are turned up to 11 today. They must be afraid. #nokings

Who else thinks Lloyd Austin should call a press conference and whip out some chin ups, today?

20% of Montanans are on Medicaid, 7% of Montanans use SNAP benefits All MT Sens and Reps voted yes Sen Daines and both Reps (Downing, Zinke) are up for re-election in 2026 Sen Sheehy is up for re-election in 2030

18% of adults on Medicaid in MT are 65+ 30% of adults on Medicaid in MT are disabled

57% of nursing home residents in MT are covered by Medicaid

Republicans still don’t have the votes. KEEP CALLING, THERE’S STILL TIME TO KILL THE BILL.

The best Ryan Zinke can do at this moment is potentially kill hundreds of thousands of people by taking away their healthcare.

Let's hope @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social has a lot of magic minutes in him tonight. @booker.senate.gov do you think he can break your record for longest speech?

Call your Congressman. Looks like they are voting on the Boats for Billionaires Act (Republican's Budget bill)tomorrow before they head out for the weekend. Nothing like taking away health care for 17 million Americans before some hotdogs. #mtpol Downing: ‪(202) 225-3211‬ Zinke: (202) 225-5628

We got him. Providing an update on the manhunt momentarily. m.youtube.com/watch?v=RxT-...

"How does it feel to get arrested at 87 years old? He said "I'm just beginning!"

Dido.

What we are seeing in Los Angeles right now with #NoKings is after several hours of a massive protest that was 100%, law enforcement—abruptly and without provocation—began firing tear gas, flash bangs and pepper balls at protesters. It was broadcast live on air. “Unrest” is on them.

2500 in Helena, MT for No Kings Day. We also had the former head of the RNC speak.

It’s like my birthday or something today and I would love it if everyone registered to attend a local rally next week. The theme is perfect and if we can make this the biggest national event we can really send a message. Let’s go! ❌🤴 www.nokings.org

It looks like President Elon and VP Trump are fighting on the "Big Beautiful Bill."

Echo Sen. Bernie Sanders' question to Congress about Medicaid www.congressweb.com/bigsky55/47?...

Saint Peter needed a little extra muscle to bounce the great night club in the sky. The fight against oligarchy lost one of the most powerful champions today. Thank you for the reforms you could push, Papa Franco. apnews.com/article/vati...

Share of seniors who live 45+ miles round trip from nearest #socialsecurity office. Now >4/10 retirees apply for benefits by phone. On April 14, they no longer can apply by phone. In Montana, 93,000 beneficiaries (40.3%) live 45+ miles round trip from SS office. #mtnews

A great day at the #mtpol #handsoff rally In Helena, MT.

@dmt4mt.bsky.social gave a great speech at the Helena #handsoff rally about Trump screwing over veterans.

Do you know what retirement plan wasn't affected this week? Social Security. It also was the only one that Wall Street traders didn't make commissions off of while everyone tried to protect their investments and that is why they are trying to convince you it doesn't work. #handsoff

This seems like a bad trend. Why is it every time a Republican is in charge we have a recession? H.W. recession, W two recessions, Trump 1 recession, Trump 2 8.4% drop in a month. It is almost like they don't know how the economy works.

Can we have the old guy with the stutter back?

Sen. @booker.senate.gov is still going. Watch here. www.c-span.org/event/us-sen...

Hold the floor @booker.senate.gov

I have been saying this for years. Rural areas don't realize how much of their economy depends on federal spending. Farm subsidies, social security, Medicare, Medicaid, highway funds, federal jobs, the list goes on and on.

Have you ever been left out of a group chat, come in on Monday and had no idea what your coworkers were talking about?

The Affordable Care Act turns 15 this week!! Millions of Americans have affordable healthcare thanks to the ACA. Click here to send a message to Congress saying hands off our healthcare! www.bigskyfiftyfive.org/take-legisla...

The Dow is down another nearly 900 points today. Can we have the guy that stutters back now?

2000 points off the Dow Jones in 4 weeks. Declining car and home sales...These kind trends remind me of late 2007.

Pro tip: Trump being obsessed with New York issues does not look good to his supporters in red states. It shows he is actually an elite not the rural savior he kept claiming he was.

I guess Big Ballz is in charge?

Not a peep from our congressional delegation. We used to use heroes and champions of our wilderness and wild areas in Congress.

So the Treasury Office of Tax Analysis estimates Trump's tax cut proposal for the wealthy will cost 4.2 Trillion dollars over the next decade. To put that in perspective ALL US healthcare costs including public, private, Medicare, Medicaid, VA, etc for 2023 was about 4.5 Trillion.

Montana Constitution Rally today at the #mtleg. #mtpol

I hope I never dishonor my father's memory like he has and will continue to do so.

Join Montana Conservation Voters on Feb. 13 at noon in the Capitol Rotunda for the I Love the Constitution Rally! We’re coming together to defend our rights, protect fair courts, and fight back against partisan attacks like SB 42, which would make judge elections political.

Feels a bit chilly out there this morning.

Crazy Uncle Fergus's Facebook rumors: open. I have been saying this for years. You can't lock away information and expect people to pay to be informed.

The Wharton School of Finance will have a terrible alumni newsletter this quarter. "Our most powerful alumni didn't understand Fordney-McCumber or Smoot-Hawley resulting in no markets for the few things we grow in America." Farmers and ranchers export most of what we produce. Complete stupidity.

People call me Spooky?

I am reading some people are down in the dumps today. I honestly see a lot of hope today. The National Non-Profit Association was ready. People activated and mobilized. The press took it half-ass seriously. We can do this. Now if we can get Congress to clue in we may have a fighting chance.

Sorry, America. We can feed the elderly with Meals on Wheels or we can let billionaires cheat on their taxes. We can't do both.

Wow, I do not like the new recasting of Secretary Pete on this reboot of America the TV series.
