The bizarro Montana Senate politics are of interest to this account because on Jan 6, MT Rep. Matt Rosendale was the last person in to come out of the alley by the RNC before the pipe bomb was found there: he'd gone in, waited for 18 minutes, then come out again. That was never explained either. 4/

Montana Rep. Matt Rosendale withdraws from Senate race days after announcing campaign He withdrew from the race after former president Donald Trump endorsed a different candidate

This is the 2nd Montana Senate race in a row with a bizarre withdrawal: in 2024 Rep. Matt Rosendale withdrew just days after he announced his run, talking vaguely of "defamatory rumors". He had in fact slept with a staffer, but seems he was pressured out and that's never been fully explained. 3/

Seven GOP lawmakers make a misguided trip to Russia The problem has less to do with seven congressional Republicans going to Russia for the 4th of July and more to do with what they did while they were there.

Daines' last-minute withdrawal was seemingly a calculated move since 8 minutes before the deadline the unelected Montana AG filed to run in his place. No one has explained why.

Daines of course is one of the 8 US lawmakers who made that infamous, unexplained July 4, 2018 trip to Moscow. 2/

The Montana Senate delegation continues a its crazy streak: today one Senator (Sheehy) broke a uniformed Marine vet's arm and the other (Daines) withdrew from his race at the last minute, making way for an unknown R candidate. That's the 2nd Montana Senate race in a row with a bizarre withdrawal. 2/

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

I agree, quite apart from the merits of the case. Alito could only defend the Supreme Court's authority to intervene by grievously misrepresenting the facts. The reality is that there's no plausible argument SCOTUS had the power to do what it did. Why didn't that matter to six justices?

Contributor: U.S. attack on Iran echoes Russia's invasion of Ukraine It's disturbing for the U.S. to be playing the role of the aggressor. Equally disturbing is to see mistakes of the Iraq War already being repeated.

Heads up Carney has not condemned the war crimes in Iran and we do not have guarantees Canadian troops will not be involved. We also produce military weapons being dropped in Gaza, not a reach to say Canadian made weapons will be used against Iranian civilians.

This happened just across the road from our little aquarium.

Love seeing the reactions when I share the story with visitors.

Trump forwards another unqualified appointment. Hospitality executive Scott Socha is President Trump’s pick to lead the National Park Service, and has no experience in public service or conservation. His company actually sued the NPS.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.
