Opponents of electoral process morally bankrupt Just because you have a right does not mean its right to exercise that right. Right? Sens. Hawley and Cruz knew that their political objections to electoral certification was doomed. No Democratic congress would remove a duly elected Democratic president. But with an unfathomably deep cynicism they went forward […]

Rep. Rosendale, I am calling upon you to resign as the Montana Representative to The United States House of Representatives. On Jan. 3, 2021 you took the oath of office as a United States Representative to the United States Congress swearing to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States. Three days later, once […]

By BILL LOMBARDI Guest columnist Politicians, by nature, are oddsmakers, calculators, bettors, bookies. They bet on winning and losing all the time. Sen. Steve Daines bet on President Trump. But following the January 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, Daines changed his wager. That day a pro-Trump mob attacked the Capitol, erected a gallows, killed a […]

Thank you for calling out Daines and Rosendale Thank you for your editorial calling Sen. Daines and Rep. Rosendale complicit in the coup attempt. They do need to resign. They have lied to us Montanans, encouraged the overthrow of our democracy. They do not represent us and perhaps need to be prosecuted for the crime […]

The thought that the United States Capitol building is so sacred to a young Asian American man […]

Daines’ reversal a day late and a dollar short In response to the article “Daines denies he played role in Capitol siege; Tester lays blame on Trump, other lawmakers,” I must say my jaw just plain out dropped to the floor. But that has been a common occurrence in my life and the lives of […]

Our leaders lacked the courage to do right thing Few things in life are totally predicable. One exception, however, was the ability to predict that after of years of coddling, praising, and enabling President Trump, that Steve Daines, Matt Rosendale, and Greg Gianforte would wring their hands and “decry the violence” that occurred at our […]

“A Preordained Coda to a Presidency The impeachment of President Trump for a second time — in a Capitol ringed by troops — seemed like the almost inevitable culmination of four years that left the nation fractured, angry and losing its sense of self. By Peter Baker Published Jan. 13, 2021Updated Jan. 14, 2021, 9:47 a.m. ET WASHINGTON — […]

Our democracy was put to the ultimate test Today, as I write this letter to the editor, our Capitol is under siege and our country’s fragile democracy is being put to the ultimate test.
