It’s been 30 years since Montana has seated a Democrat in the US House of Representatives. Congratulations Congressman Sam Forstag!

Big: Kris Kobach, the Kansas attorney general, one of the country’s most notorious far-right figures who charted the way for Trump’s election denialism well before Trump got to it, has lost his reelection bid. Democrat Chris Mann will be new Kansas attorney general, AP calls.

Australian officials have issued a reminder to shut your car doors after one wombat helped himself to several passenger seats. The notice followed complaints from visitors at a popular picnic area, where the same wombat reportedly kept climbing into parked cars while people unloaded bags or packed up lunch. At first, staff thought they were receiving several calls about one incident. Then they realized the cars were different. The passenger wasn’t. One couple waited nearly an hour before he climbed out. Another visitor said he settled into the seat before she’d even finished putting her things in the boot. Officials asked visitors to keep their doors closed and contact staff if they found an unexpected occupant. After the photos spread online, a park spokesperson clarified the situation. “He hasn’t been abandoned. He lives here. Please stop calling to say someone’s left their wombat in a car.”

The @MTGOP has destroyed true representative govt in Montana. They spit on the average working montana family by ignoring housing costs, childcare and healthcare. Republicans work exclusively for the rich. #mtleg

The @mtgop won’t spend any of Montana’s $1.7B surplus on affordable housing and they won’t allow local governments to require developers to set aside portions of their projects to affordable housing. So I guess @GovGianforte will continue to “monitor the situation closely…

Sue Vinton (R) has filed to run for SD20 in Billings. Who will run against her? She is an extremist anti-choice, wealthy wife of a guy who builds mansions for a living. Sue sponsored the law that prohibits building affordable housing. #DecentVotersDeserveAChoice #Mtleg – at Missoula, MT

the @MTGOP PR guy pushing lies like the @TheAtlantic ‘s article today that @GovGianforte “miracle” solved housing affordability in Montana is Kendall Cotton of the @FrontierInst A right wing propaganda farm. Probably well funded of course by the developers that will benefit from greg’s phony “housing affordability gambit.” – at Missoula, MT

Wealthy land developers told @GovGianforte that regulatory tools to encourage more affordable housing in Montana for Montana’s working families eats into their profits. So greg got rid of those pesky requirements. Now Montana doesn’t have any affordable housing. #mtnews #askgreg – at Missoula, MT

He’s been governor since January of 2021. Are you better off today? Housing affordable? Childcare? Healthcare? Groceries? Wages? Greg doesn’t care. He’s rich!

The campaign of Democrat Senate candidate Mary Peltola has filed a lawsuit against the Alaska Division of Elections over rejected absentee ballots. The lawsuit alleges that the officials have refused to release information identifying voters whose absentee ballots were rejected or questioned: “Each hour and each day that Defendants deny Plaintiff the requested records to which it is entitled costs Plaintiff the opportunity to help ensure that qualified voters have their ballots counted.”

Housing is too expensive for Montana’s working families because as soon as he was in office @GovGianforte sent out targeted letters inviting millionaires to move here and buy up our houses. Then Greg gave them big tax cuts.

A Red-headed Woodpecker watching the nature trail. This spot is a favorite of these woodpeckers; they've been overwintering here for the last few years, and over the summer they raised their nestlings in a nearby tree.

With four rushing touchdowns today (so far), Montana running back Eli Gillman has broken the @BigSkyFB career record for total TDs. Gillman surpasses the great Cooper Kupp, who scored 77 touchdowns at Eastern Washington from 2013-16. @ScrippsSports
