@profcarroll SCOTUS seems to bend gravity or the time-space continuum as needed to reach their far-flung, bizarre reasoning in these latest cases. Even when it contradicts the logic they used in other decisions this session. I give up. #ExpandTheCourt
@RobertMaguire @ZoAndBehold is grace under fire. The hatred and mockery of the #MTGOP for people living their real lives like Zoey, or anyone that doesn't look like them & act the way those narrow-minded, close hearted bigots do, makes them rage. Meanwhile, the faction of the far-right of the #MTGOP leading this hatred really dont represent the vast majority of their party.
In Montana, a primary value is to live & let live.
Leadership of the #MTGOP are bullies & authoritarians.
An important read. This shows the stakes of local journalism, honest statewide reporting and it's link to democracy.
Rest in power, Chuck Johnson!

The Giants of Local Journalism Are Not Being Replaced

There will never be another reporter like Chuck Johnson, and democracy will suffer for it.

2/2 Montana by saving the state a few dollars backfilled by federal dollars 2:1 while rewarding the wealthiest with the largest tax break.
The issue is a study contracted by the administration that concludes the rate should be increased. The Gov has suggested paying 1/2 why they need. Nursing homes are closing. In short, lives are at risk. 
The legislature general session went over by an hour and zoomers were only able to say if they were in favor or opposed a bill.

I was ready to testify in support of HB649, implement the (Medicaid Reimbursement) Rate from the Provider Rate Study on zoom.
Here's my point: I don’t want those of you on this committee or in the greater body of the MT Legislature to be lost in a particularly heinous corner of hell haunted by the voices of grandmothers, grandfathers, and other loved ones whispering to you day & night that you turned your back on destitute seniors across
@billyjoebowers @BrianJopek I look at that and think it's really good insulation! It could keep your hearing bills down.
@brendannyhan this reminds me of Rep Caleb hinkles bill in the 2021 #mtleg proposing a revision of the MT state flag w an automatic rifle on it. Silly, but deadly in a state that's always in the highest rate of suicide in the nation due to guns.
