Dumb way to find out many on Medicaid Exp ARE disabled - just not able to qualify for disability benefits because, wait for it....they can't afford to quit working long enough to be determined disabled. How do I know? I specialized in eligibility/determination & helped pass MT Medicaid Exp in MT.

Good thing the “Big Sky Boys” bring their own doctors to the ski hill.

Daines, Sheehy tight-lipped on proposed Medicaid cuts for Montanans As the GOP megabill nears a floor vote, Montana’s senators have sidestepped questions about how coverage losses could affect constituents.

Montana's Senators, Steve Daines, and Ryan Sheehy don't want to talk about Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act cuts in the "Big Beautiful Bill." "As the GOP megabill nears a floor vote, Montana’s senators have ducked questions about how coverage losses could affect constituents."

Setting the record straight, Montana Democrats. Healthcare. We support: Medicaid expansion, public health research, rural hospitals, access to abortion and birth control, lower prescription drug prices, vaccines. We oppose: Privatizing or under-funding Medicaid and Medicare, government making private decisions for you, pre-existing conditions in health insurance. "Healthcare is a human right. Montana Democrats will always fight for accessible and affordable healthcare for all Montanans." - Interim Executive Director, Justin Ailport.

Not sure what Montana Democrats stand for? Let us set the record straight. We believe that healthcare is a human right. Healthcare should be accessible and affordable, and the government has no place in your doctor's office. 💙 #mtpol

Two babies have died from whooping cough in Kentucky. Neither they nor their parents had been vaccinated.

The current whooping cough outbreak in the U.S. hasn’t grabbed the media spotlight as much as measles has, but it’s important to update your vaccination if you’re going to be around babies.

Here’s one special tool the Packers can use if they want to stop the tush push next season:

Miles City and the Measles For the first time since 1990 the measles are in Montana.

In 1968, Maurice Hilleman, from Miles City, Montana, along with colleagues, developed the measles vaccine that is still in use today.

Sen. Daines, Sen. Sheehy sponsor bill to sell off Montana public lands. The "Supporting Made in America Energy Act" would put Montana's public lands up for auction to oil and gas companies FOUR TIMES A YEAR (at minimum). Daines and Sheehy are: prioritizing corporate profit over public access to recreation. Worsening the impacts of climate change, like wildfire season. Lining billionaires' pockets while ignoring their consituents' wishes. Senator Steve Daines: DC: 202-224-2651, Helena: 406-443-3189. Senator Tim Sheehy: DC: 202-224-2644, Helena: 406-441-1069

Our Senators are selling our state off for parts. Under this bill, Montana public lands would go to auction four times a year. Daines and Sheehy refuse to meet with their constituents and it’s reflected in their actions – how out of touch can they get? #mtpol

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

The US invasion of Iraq began on this day 22 years ago.

In the years since, the United States spent roughly $10 trillion on the so-called "war on terror."

Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds in climate, health care, housing, and education?
