Republican candidate for US Senate Matt Rosendale tweeted a photo of he and Sen. Steve Daines hunting on “public” land.  Turns out they were cruising on the Point of Rocks Ranch owned by Robert Smith, a partner in Sinclair Broadcasting Group.  Why would Rosendale lie about where he takes his gun for a walk? And why is Daines complicit?  I guess it’s because they want to make public lands private for millionaire buddies like Smith.

Attorney General Tim Fox and Governor Steve Bullock agree on conservation easements, but not how they may be adopted.  Stay tuned to the Montana Supreme Court.

The last three words are verbatim from Trump’s debacle in Missoula.  The sad thing is, some people will see this cartoon as complimentary.

Corey Stapleton hasn’t been having a great year.  Of course, for him it’s not hard to get in over his head.

This is not very issue-oriented, but I just couldn’t help myself.

Never before has so much money been poured into a Montana initiative campaign.  Tobacco companies working to protect their grip on addiction have financed multiple media ads and outreach to obscure the facts about I-185.

What a sad excuse for a Congressman.  Greg Gianforte (R-MT) has been touting his influence with Trump because he flew a couple times to Montana on the POTUS plane.  So did the guy who cleans the toilets.

Where does all that money come from?  Where does it go?  Check out the Dark Money documentary on PBS over the coming days.

Republican Secretary of State Corey Stapleton issued another barely coherent newsletter about secure elections.  He claimed the Russians “scanned” Montana’s election system in 2016, even though his own staff said that didn’t happen.  Corey also said he had announced this several months earlier (no record of that), but no news outlet reported it.
