Right now in Los Angeles, major social media companies are facing a landmark trial over claims their platforms were designed in ways that harmed young users. Big Tech should be held accountable for how their platforms are designed.

Another government shutdown looming, and working families will be the ones to pay the price–and that’s on top of the layoffs, healthcare cuts, and revoked education funding that Congress has already passed.

Unlike what some pushing false info would have you believe, abortion drugs like mifepristone have repeatedly been proven safe for patients. The fight against access to mifepristone happening in Congress and here in Montana is yet another attack on our right to reproductive care.

When critical services like food assistance and healthcare are made harder to access, it’s our kids who pay the price. Tightened SNAP & Medicaid eligibility = fewer kids well-fed and prepared to learn.

When you see harmful or misleading information online, remember not to engage with it, even to call it out. Remember to leverage your personal relationships with people who may be contributing to the disinformation, and ask questions.

Especially in tense times, it falls on each of us to refuse to contribute to disinformation running wild. It’s easy to post and share things quickly and without being thoughtful, but it’s important to check your facts and pause.

There’s no time to wait. Public lands are at risk of being stripped away for profit. If lost, there is no going back. We have until September 19th to submit public comments in defense of the Roadless Rule that protects the wild places we love: bit.ly/460vzAJ

Municipal elections determine the changes that impact your day-to-day, and you deserve a voice in those changes. Vote in your upcoming local elections!

Municipal elections are happening across Montana this year, but what does that mean? What does your local municipality do? Well, the bottom line is that if you’re seeing changes in your neighborhood, it’s probably something your municipal government decided!

You may see people talking about the bill allowing for more deductions for taxpayers 65 and over. This is true! But, while these deductions are coming, there is a “phaseout threshold,” which means that these deductions will not apply to everyone.

It’s important to make sure the information you’re seeing and sharing about the massive federal spending bill covers the big picture.

Leaving it blank or marking a date inconsistent with your voter registration will result in your ballot being rejected, so pay close attention! Your birth year is NOT required for the primary election in September, but it will be included just for practice.

Helena is having its first municipal primary election in two decades! Some important changes were made in the 2025 legislature, though, and here’s what you need to know. Starting on 10/1/25, all mail-in and absentee ballots will require your birth year on the ballot envelope.

FYI: Having a child in full-time daycare in Montana is more expensive than 4 years of in-state university tuition – and the Trump administration just cut the funding for a pilot program that was helping families across Montana afford the cost.

The fact is that this bill allows for very modest and temporary deductions that are set to expire in four years – something that is true of every spending bill.

mtmegaphone.bsky.social @mtmegaphone.bsky.social · 21/08/2025

The federal spending bill is a massive piece of legislation. It’s important to make sure the information you’re seeing and sharing is accurate and tells the whole story. Right now, you may see things like “historic tax relief” being touted.

Our public lands are still at risk! The federal government is going against public opinion and quietly dismantling protections for our public lands in Montana. You can read more about how the protections for our public lands are being eroded here: bit.ly/45yoY0l

Backpacks are packed. Lunches are prepped. But kids across America are going back to underfunded schools while billionaires get another tax break. Trump’s budget doesn’t leave room for crayons — just cruelty.

This isn’t belt-tightening. It’s not fiscal responsibility. It’s a transfer of wealth from working Montanans to the ultra-rich, and it’s happening on purpose… This isn’t budgeting. It’s robbery.

In the 2025 federal budget, SNAP was slashed. Medicaid took another hit. Food banks are being stretched to the breaking point, forced to turn families away. Meanwhile, billionaires got another round of tax breaks.

The federal spending bill allowed the tax credits that help thousands of Montana families afford healthcare to expire - meaning that your health insurance rates may be about to go up. Read more about the proposed rate increase here: bit.ly/4lgTOAm

The playbook is clear: Trump's reconciliation bill seeks to shut down health centers in states where abortion is protected and legal-including Montana. If Planned Parenthood health centers were to close, it would be catastrophic.
