We don't know who's going to win Montana's seats in Congress next month, but at least two of them will be newcomers. Montana's likely to be near the bottom of the list for congressional seniority in 2027. I asked what impact that could have. ktvh.com/news/montana-politi… #MTNews #MTPol

Montana will have low congressional seniority in 2027

We still don’t know who Montana voters will be sending to represent them in Congress this election, but one thing we do know is that at least two of them will be newcomers.

Prolific character actor Richard Riehle has passed away. People will (rightly) mention Office Space and Casino, but he logged 440 credits; he was an ultimate “I know that guy” actor. He even set up all-timers, like this Tommy Lee Jones moment in The Fugitive.
