In 1906, the United States finally decided that maybe — just maybe — it should tell people when their “medicinal miracle tonic” was actually half heroin, a dash of opium, and whatever the chemist swept off the floor that morning. Thus arrived the Pure Food …
Today marks the 389th birthday of the National Guard — the oldest military institution in America, founded in 1636 when the Massachusetts Bay Colony organized its militia. Before there was a U.S. Constitution, there were citizen-soldiers standing ready to …
Don’t buy the liberal lies propagated by so called Republicans like Rep. Ken Walsh and their swamp boss, Rep. Llew Jones — Montanans deserve a real tax cut and true fiscal responsibility. Walsh recently wrote a letter trying to deflect criticism of a tax …
In recent years, Montana voters have sent a Republican majority to the legislature in Helena, but you wouldn’t know that based on some of the sessions’ outcomes. Lawmakers who presented themselves to voters as Republicans abandoned their colleagues and …
Earlier this month, reporters working for Lee Enterprises wrote a story attempting to paint the Montana Republican Party in a negative light for simply asking questions of potential candidates and preparing them for the campaign trail. While Democrat …
We all know the phrase “wolf in sheep’s clothing,” but there’s an even bigger danger here in Montana: Democrats in Republican clothing. Though Montana voters sent a conservative majority to Helena, a small faction of self-identified Republicans abandoned …
This week marked the end of the senseless Schumer Shutdown — the longest shutdown in American history. 42 days of uncertainty for Montana families and the public servants who keep our skies safe, forests healthy, nation secure, and communities strong — all …

At the end of the 2025 legislative session, Democrat leaders praised a massive tax-shift bill, which they helped pass despite objections from conservative Republicans. The bill was rushed and broken, but Democrats and a handful of self-identified “ …
Montana parents have had enough. They send their children to school to learn, not to be subjected to political agendas pushed by national activist groups. For too long, taxpayer dollars have funded “professional development conferences” that have too …
It’s easy to forget that Montana is a border state, but we suffer from problems tied to illegal immigration and human trafficking just like other border states. To help address this, I sponsored and passed House Bill 278 during the 2025 session, which …
Democrats and the self-identified “Republicans” who allied with them to block real property tax relief for Montana families have no shame. Instead of being honest about the tax shift they passed earlier this year, they’re repeating lies in hopes of fooling …
Since his tragic assassination, Charlie Kirk has been hailed by many as a paragon of civil discourse. Civility seems to be in short supply these days. The word itself comes from ‘civitas,’ Latin for citizen. The root of the word suggests a duty to treat …
