Rep. Lukas Schubert (R-Kalifornispell), a freshman legislator (and recently graduated high-school senior) ‘distinguished’ himself by sponsoring 35 bills and 2 resolutions (including this one).

Elon Musk is leaving D.C., and none too soon.

The legislature passed HB-9 providing grants to cultural organizations. Rep. John Fitzpatrick (R-Anachronic) deleted funds to any groups that didn’t come to his subcommittee hearing with hat in hand. This gave him leeway to boost the funding for his wife’s group by 242%.

Sen. Greg Hertz (R-Poison) declared this during a floor session. His neighborhood must be out of this world.

Here’s the real medical report.

Rep. Braxton “Babyface” Mitchell (R-Calumnious Falls) strikes again at trans students. Both House and Senate shamefully passed the bill; maybe the governor will have the good sense to veto it (snork).

This bill by John Fitzpatrick (R-Anaconda) would split up the Department of Public Health and Human Services. This might not be a radically bad idea, but it seems like a rush job near the end of the session. It needs some study.

The efforts of these three legislators aren’t the only ones trying to weaken protections of Montana’s environment. But they do merit special condemnation.

Here’s one vehicle more defective than a Tesla!
