Sore loser Greg Gianforte acted with uncharacteristic speed to bury this bill.

In Senate Finance and Claims Committee, Sen. Forrest Mandeville (R-Collusion) worked some manipulative magic. He killed HB 276 (already passed by both chambers) that would have set up a $1M grants program to move food from farms to food banks. And he put $1M into HB 5 to benefit his own hometown of Columbus. Pretty good for a day’s scheming.

As a consequence for holding a dead mic over her head, Rep. Zooey Zephyr was banned from the House floor, among other areas.

Following the protest in the House gallery on April 24, GOP leadership called the outburst “a riot by far-left agitators.”

After allowing graphic and overblown debate on bills dealing with abortion and trans health care, Speaker Matt Regier has refused to recognize Rep. Zooey Zephyr for remarks that the Montana Freedom Caucus resented.

The Montana Legislature has voted to ban TikTok, securing the Booby Prize for the dumbest bill of the session.

HB 359, sponsored by Rep. Braxton Mitchell (R-Columbia Fallacy), seeks to ban drag performances in front of minors. 

Sen. Tom McGillvray (R-LaLaLand) is lead sponsor of SJ-15, a resolution that states, “the belief that the court has exclusive authority to interpret the constitution and that its decisions are binding on the other two branches is a myth based on a faulty understanding of Marbury v. Madison.”
