One of the greatest deceptions of our time is the false narrative that we should somehow be more concerned about how a poor person uses the welfare system than we are about the ultra wealthy swaying the highest positions or power in our country to their favor.

Notice how quickly “we want our nation to uphold Christian values” turns into “it’s not the government’s job to feed the hungry or help the poor!” which are actually things Christ taught his followers to value.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

No Kings-Missoula, Montana

'No Kings' protest draws thousands to downtown Missoula An estimated 10,000 people marched through the streets of Missoula on a foggy Saturday morning, chanting their displeasure with the Trump administration and what they see as it's steady dismantling of...

The first news report that made me do a double-take: Missoula, Montana, has only 78,000 residents.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

Part of our constitutional crisis is that Republicans are stopping Congress from playing its fundamental oversight role.

Stephen Colbert: “Tonight we’re all Jimmy Kimmel…. With an autocrat, you can’t give an inch. If ABC thinks that this is going to satisfy the regime, they are woefully naive, and clearly they've never read The Children's Book If You Give a Mouse A Kimmel.”

Veterans are speaking out.
Trump's use of Troops against Americans isn't leadership—it's an abuse of power.
We served the Constitution, not a king, a bully, or a dictator.

Heck yeah I love our city. Missoula, Montana No Kings :)

Shame on you, Rep. Zinke!

Canadian Voter: I think who I voted for would be the best to take care of Trump, because Trump is, I’m sorry to say, an asshole.

Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

Hands off, Missoula MT

Amazing news. The Montana House just killed a bill that would've made judicial elections partisan.

These bills keep cropping up, and we keep smacking them down. Proud of all the Dems for standing up against the efforts to politicize our Judiciary. And grateful to the Republicans who joined us.

As of Friday, there have been 46 cases in which federal judges have blocked Trump policies.

The rulings in those cases have come from 39 different judges appointed by 5 different presidents (of both parties) to 11 different district courts across 7 different circuits.

Maybe it's not the judges?

Tony Wagner from Cross Lake is a 78-year-old Vietnam veteran who paid into Social Security his entire life. But after his wife passed, the Trump Administration has made it nearly impossible for him to access the benefits he's earned. I met with him today to hear his story.

Post from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard that reads: Any unauthorized release of classified information is a violation of the law and will be treated as such.

Circling back on this…

This is effective.

More than a thousand rally and march in Missoula for public lands, fired workers Whether they were mule packers, presidential appointees or somewhere between, they shared the same message, amplified by booming cheers from the sign-carrying masses: "Whose lands? Our lands!"

Missoulians know how to show up for our Public Lands and the dedicated folks who steward them. Bring them back!
