Montana's teachers deserve more than a day of appreciation. They deserve a senator who will push back on cuts to Title I, Head Start, and student loan relief. We're in this race for them. #TeacherAppreciationDay

Daines’ silence was louder than Carl’s hate dailymontanan.com/2026/02/17/d... Doug James: This isn’t a policy debate. It’s bile... Here’s the moral issue. It’s simple. When someone traffics in racism and antisemitism, you say so. Out loud. Immediately. Silence is not neutrality. Silence is shelter.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.
