Like many Montanans, it's not in my nature to go away quietly or give up. Hence the title of my very first episode of Montanaland, "Sour Grapes." Welcome to #Montanaland. Things get weird out here. #mtpol #mtnews Link: open.spotify.com/show/3OvpkyJ...

With extreme heat and growing pressure on water in #Montana, we need greater resilience, not fewer tools. Today's the deadline. Tomorrow comes the consequences. This BLM proposal weakens conservation and public oversight as we face more heat, drought, and water stress. Comment by midnight 7/13.

We don’t want data centers in #Montana without oversight. We don’t want a call on our water. We don’t want high energy rates. We don’t want to show up at a public meeting to find it’s a trade show. The public needs a voice in the debate, not just the opportunity to submit a written comment.
