"Oh sure... They abandon their Capitol bureau during Bullock so he can do anything he wants, but a Republican gets elected and it's all hands on deck! Where was this sudden awareness for the need of government transparency the past 8 years?!"

Earlier Wednesday, I wrote about how the Montana Democrats locked themselves inside "the Helena bubble" before losing big in the 2020 elections. What did Democrats in the Montana State Legislature do later that same day? They selected two lawmakers from Helena to serve as their leaders in both chambers.

Montana's Republican Senator Steve Daines came out swinging in the third and final debate, with fresh attacks on Democrat Gov. Steve Bullock. Daines specifically questioned Bullock on why he forced his female lieutenant governor out of office. Bullock, of course, never answered nor was asked by moderators to answer the question in a follow up.

We had a record turnout in Montana's June 2nd primary election. But who did they turn out for? Republicans.

Lieutenant Governor, and Democrat gubernatorial candidate, Mike Cooney (D-MT) was busted for making campaign fundraising calls from his official office in the state capitol.

A Helena elementary schoolteacher, busted with several hardcore drugs like meth, heroin, and LSD in his possession is getting off easy with merely a deferred sentence. And this isn't just any schoolteacher- he's the husband of the statewide Democrat candidate for superintendent of public instruction in Montana.

I mean, it's a big enough story that an elementary teacher got busted with those kinds of drugs to begin with. But then you add the fact that the teacher in question is married to a statewide Democrat party candidate for Superintendent of Public Instruction.

Donald Trump, Jr. is coming back to Montana later this week, according to sources I spoke with inside the gubernatorial campaign of Congressman Greg Gianforte (R-MT). The president's son is planning a hunting trip in state along with attending a fundraiser in support of Gianforte's gubernatorial bid.

Veteran Montana political reporter Mike Dennison has a new book out called "Inside Montana Politics." In this audio clip, Dennison talks about some of the favorite stories he shares in his book. We also have a list of all of his upcoming book signings.

Phew. That was starting to get embarrassing. At least twice on national TV, Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) refused to endorse his fellow Montana Democrat, Gov. Steve Bullock (D-MT), and his presidential run.
