🎉 The Montana Supreme Court struck down GOP-backed restrictions on the people's right to create initiatives and referendums for voters to weigh in on. The court ruled that the Montana Legislature cannot burden the people's constitutional power to make laws themselves: demdock.com/4rTE5vR
A quote from Justice Beth Baker of the Montana Supreme Court discusses the Constitution and the intention behind people's lawmaking power having minimal obstacles. The text is accompanied by an illustration of a courthouse.

President Donald Trump has spent much of his second term waging an assault on mail-in voting. But suddenly, he’s calling on Republicans to vote any way they can — including by mail. Read more from Selena Kuznikov and Nora McKee.

Trump’s mail voting restrictions would have disenfranchised thousands if the Supreme Court had allowed them. But Trump’s plan to restrict mail voting was supposed to be even more prohibitive, with the help of two election conspiracists inside the White House. More from this shocking report:

Report: Trump wanted all mail ballots sent by certified mail
Two White House officials, including Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, tried to help Trump make his USPS rule even more restrictive by requiring all voters sign their delivered ballots at home.

No to Putin at G20. "The 13 senators, including 6 Republicans, warned [Trump] that welcoming Putin to the United States would give him “stature and legitimacy” while Russia continues its war in Ukraine." The letter: ⚖️ www.foreign.senate.gov/imo/media/do... 🧾 www.washingtonsun.com/congress/sen...
The letter was signed by Republican Sens. Roger Wicker (Mississippi), John Cornyn (Texas), Thom Tillis (North Carolina), John Curtis (Utah), Jerry Moran (Kansas) and Alan Armstrong (Oklahoma), and Democratic Sens. Jeanne Shaheen (New Hampshire), Michael Bennet (Colorado), Richard Blumenthal (Connecticut), Chris Coons (Delaware), Ruben Gallego (Arizona), Tim Kaine (Virginia) and Sheldon Whitehouse (Rhode Island). Wicker chairs the Senate Armed Services Committee, while Shaheen is the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Dear President Trump:
September 24, 2026
We write to express our serious concern regarding reports that Russian President Vladimir Putin has been invited to attend the Group of Twenty (G20) Leaders' Summit on December 14 and 15 in Miami, Florida. We were already disappointed by the recent participation of Russian government delegations in a series of G20 meetings across the United States, including a delegation led by sanctioned Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov at the Finance Ministerial in Asheville, North Carolina; a Russian delegation at the Commerce Department Innovation Ministerial in Chapel Hill, North Carolina; and a Russian delegation at the Energy Abundance Ministerial in Houston, Texas. We raise the same concerns noted in an April 3 bipartisan Senate letter, which outlined the national security implications of allowing a delegation of sanctioned members of the Russian Duma to visit the United States for official meetings. Given President Putin's continued actions against the Ukrainian people and U.S. national security interests, we urge you to reconsider granting President Putin the stature and legitimacy to appear in the United States as a world leader at the G20 Leaders' Summit.
President Putin bears sole responsibility for launching Russia's full-scale war of aggression against Ukraine. Allowing him to participate in a G20 Summit in the United States raises serious concerns about legitimizing and normalizing a government that continues to attack Ukrainian civilian targets every day. This invitation also comes at a time when Russia's intentions are unambiguously clear. Numerous public reports have indicated that Russia is helping Iran's military target American service members in the Middle East. Russia has also increased its hybrid warfare activities throughout Europe in recent months while sim…

Trump's ban on MSNOW, CNN, and Politico is not only part of the autocratic playbook, but the timing is no coincidence. Trump is well in the autocratic backfire process, thus, entire media outlets he sees as threats must be banished. This is a moment of reckoning for America.

Unsurprisingly, 60 Minutes ratings are down. What people like Ellison don’t understand is that many of us wouldn’t watch CBS News, including 60 Minutes, if you paid us. Like Bezos, they don’t understand that consuming content is as much a statement of values as anything.

Prognosticating a bit, but here’s how this will likely play out. If Clearfield County votes to extend the contract, then ICE is already postured to award top dollar to GEO Group. If they vote no, ICE has signaled they will buy the site directly from GEO Group, cutting out the county entirely.

Steak n Shake is proud to announce its endorsement of Senator @JonHusted for U.S. Senate!

We stand with Husted because he champions the #MAHA movement to clean up the American food supply chain and lower the cost for consumers.

Meanwhile, his opponent, Sherrod Brown, has a record of supporting the extreme federal spending that fueled the inflation crisis, driving up grocery prices for every Ohio family.

Senator Husted is the only candidate fighting to make Ohio healthy, safe, and affordable again.
