We had a special visitor at our bird feeder! This beautiful Marten stayed over 40 mins to dine right outside of our kitchen window.

As Trump’s Policies Worry Scientists, France and Others Put Out a Welcome Mat European universities have begun recruiting researchers who lost their jobs in the administration’s cost-cutting efforts, or are anxious over perceived threats to academic freedom.

I recently watched an old PBS documentary about the Donner Party. I couldn't stop thinking about the direction the U.S. government has been taking the country.

Incredibly blue sky of Montana! I saw at least 6 elk in the mountains, a small herd I have seen regularly. I am so lucky to have the opportunity to live here.

If 40% of DOGE’s canceled contracts won’t save a dime, what’s Musk really up to?

Sabotage. He’s gutting agencies that enforce environmental rules, worker protections, and media oversight—things he & Trump want gone. Less regulation means more room for misdeeds—we’re the ones who will pay the price.

Meet Archie the Squirrel! He comes to our feeder and often looks into the kitchen window. 🥰

My daily walk in the mountains. Walk slowly, step by step, empty my mind, look up the blue sky, and talk to squirrels! 😊

The moon on frozen Hebgen Lake this morning, at 6:12 a.m. It was a dreamy moment.

I was out shoveling snow for over six hours today. The mountains are my gym and the necessity is my instructor! 🤪

Apologies if we're posting a lot today but there's a lot going on and we have to stay on top of it.

This new Secretary of the Interior is a catastrophe for our last remaining wild places.

Shoveling snow the whole afternoon doesn't suck with this beautiful sky 😊

The sun finally showed its face through thick fog. I love foggy mornings.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

A herd of bison stretching off into the distance on a snowy prairie.

Bison should be allowed to roam free and cattle should be restricted to private land.
All abandoned barbed wire should be removed from public land.
The money today being wasted on public lands grazing should go into building wildlife overpasses and installing wildlife safe guide fencing.
