Return sanity to pubic office, elect Biden, Bullock The perversity of Republican legislators and executives is now abundantly clear: favorable rules for themselves; unfavorable for Democrats. No even playing field and democracy be damned. Republican senators, from McConnell to Daines, have said no Supreme Court appointments in an election year – until they want to […]
Chris Pope is the overwhelmingly best choice for state Senate for those in Senate District 31. There are numerous reasons, but I would point to three outstanding traits. Working with him in Helena I regularly see his clarity and depth of thought on issues. His ability to build the relationships needed to pass solid legislation […]
Sen. Daines, where is your conscience? What kind of example are we setting for children and young people? You are showing them by your actions that to get their way they should bully, lie, cheat on the rules we have made and go back on their word. You are teaching them that power and money […]
Montanans who are lovers of the outdoors and wildlife would do well to note the greenwashing by our president and the politicians who support him.

Mike Phillips, who terms out following 14 years of excellent public service in both the state House and Senate. As a current, two-term state legislator, I am committed to bringing […]
President Trump is terrified that Americans alone will decide the next election, so he conspires with Russia’s disinformation war on America while sabotaging the post office and suing Montana and other states to suppress mail voting. With Putin whispering in his ear, Trump trashes our election in advance so he can challenge the results when […]
For women, being female is the heart and essence of your legacy and your story. Our mothers, grandmothers and great grandmothers sacrificed so our lives would be different than theirs. In the 1920s my grandfather served as a Republican congressman. My grandmother — a physicist and mathematician— mentored Asian women seeking higher education. She wore […]
