Montana’s public lands are under attack. Trump’s plan to offload federal land will tear apart the wild places that define who we are. We’ve fought before to keep Montana's land public. We’re ready to fight again.

Every one of these races was actively undermined by the Chair and ED of the @mtdems. It’s going to be a tough Tuesday next week when the party realizes what we’ve lost by allowing terrible, corrupt leadership to send us astray. #mtnews

Not one elected represented listed here has ever held a public town hall. #mtpol

A third-party, government-vetted FOIA response is the only way to guarantee a candidate hasn't altered or carefully selected specific pages of their Official Military Personnel File. Federal privacy laws prevent the military from releasing a veteran's full file to the public without a signed release form from the veteran themselves. Because Alani Bankhead will not sign that waiver, her true, comprehensive file remains shielded from journalists and the public. #mtpol #mtsen #mtnews

The fact that officers in that unit were permitted to retire honorably is a total failure to deliver on the accountability Pence promised. In Lyle Bankhead's case, he immediately transitioned to another high-paying federal law enforcement job at the EPA. Now, his wife is splitting the vote for Kurt Alme to advance as U.S. Senator. This is why signing off on a FOIA to release your records is so important. How many Montanans would ever know her husband did anything but "work at the EPA," as she often references, when he actually may owe a lifetime debt for his career to Trump defending his imcompetent and potentially biased behavior towards abused women? What is in Alani's record? #mtpol #mtnews

It's too late now to know fully what Alani Bankhead is lying about or covering up, or Seth Bodnar is lying about for that matter. Both have refused to sign off on a release of their military records. What's hiding in there? Both also have appeared to have lied on their resumes. Not one reporter in our state caught this. Why won't they sign off? Without these records we cannot fact-check Bodnar or Bankhead or who they might be working for. Alme makes it clear he is working for the anti-choice National Christian Foundation. Outlets like the @mtfreepress and @mtpublicradio *SHOULD* cross-reference candidates against local property records, court databases, and public voter registries to establish timelines before running profile pieces. In the #mtsen race, the #mtnews 100%, absolutely, did NOT do this due diligence, neither did the @MTDems. I'm writing in @jamideeW.

No one will stop them. It's likely violating the Hatch Act for the VP to speak at the #YellowstoneAirport. No one's going to do a thing about it. The #Montana media will act like we should welcome and thank the VP for violating our laws while our Congressmen cheer. #mtnews
It should be illegal for the President, VP, and lawmakers in Congress to own, buy, and sell individual stocks.

After dark money from both races flooded the #mtsen primary in June, I realized that if I didn't speak up, no one would. I've opened the files on Montana's strange 2026 Senate race by digging deep into sources developed over nearly 30 years working in #mtpol and #mtnews. What did I find? Welcome to #Montanaland. Things get weird out here.

Our democracy belongs to the people, not politicians who want to make voting harder. We can trust our county elections offices and the officials who staff them. From Richland County to Missoula, #Montana has a long tradition of secure elections and absentee voting. It's now too late to mail absentee ballots, so make sure you drop them directly at your county polling location. Return your ballot. Protect your voice. #MTVotes #Vote2026 #November3

Imagine if the #Montana U.S. Senate seat was being listed as "in play" like districts across the nation. But we can't have nice things out here as long as Messina and the corrupt DNC is involved. They know what's best for us, and it's a GOP senator.

Trump gave Elon the power. He gave him the power under the guise of doge to steal our data with a back door to Russia the minute they did it. They are now in full operation with their coup and I don’t know how we’re gonna get out of this because they’re already implementing it. They will challenge every election that a democrat wins, which means they won’t certify anybody. It will be in court for months.

Remember back in 2024? When it came to our privacy and our access to healthcare, 345,070 people across #Montana voted YES to protect their constitutional rights and enshrine abortion in our state constitution. The people have more power than the political machinery wants us to remember. Each Montanan has the power to VOTE! Make your voice count. #mtpol #MTVotes #Vote2026 #November3

They will even use @SethBodnarForMT.
Obama: Whenever a movement builds to challenge that broken system, the people who benefit from the status quo will say and do anything to stop that train from coming. They will use lies and they will use fear and they will use division. And they may even use your name to suggest that you are dangerous and less than trustworthy and less patriotic and less American than they are. We have seen this movie before. I starred in it. I've got a long form birth certificate to prove it. This stuff didn't work on me, not in Michigan. It's not going to work on Abdul. He is as Michigan as it gets. Abdul was born here. He was raised here

Never seen the AG act so fast. It's almost like he knew this info was coming. #mtpol
This is extremely concerning. If this is true, it appears to be a violation of Montana Code Annotated 13-35-221. My office will be reaching out to @AlaniBankhead, @SethBodnarForMT and @DNC to investigate.

#Montana deserved a real Dem contender for this open U.S. Senate seat, but instead we got a phony Dem who’s a GOP plant.

Vote like your #publiclands depend on it, because they do. Our rivers, open spaces and access to the places that make #Montana our home are on the ballot every time. Dark money can buy ads, but the people own the vote. Use your right to vote to protect our #publiclands. #mtpol #MTVotes #November3
