Today should be a National Day of Service to Conservation. Republican officials should take the opportunity to loudly proclaim TR's conservation ethic is alive and well in the GOP. @JDVance
Born on October 27, 1858, Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th president of the United States, left a lasting mark on America’s public lands. During his presidency, he established five national parks, designated 18 national monuments, created 51 federal bird reservations, and protected approximately 230 million acres of public land for future generations.
Today, you can celebrate his birthday by visiting a national park site for free!

The Census has a constitutional purpose: to count the population accurately, not serve as a tool to advance a partisan political agenda.
The current Census system has been weaponized against American voters. In 2020, the Census Bureau used differential privacy, a process the Bureau claimed would protect privacy but actually deliberately distorted population data. Those figures were then used to draw congressional districts, raising serious concerns about accuracy and political representation. The Census also counts illegal immigrants when determining how many seats each state gets in Congress, giving states with larger illegal immigrant populations greater representation.
IT’S TIME TO DE-WEAPONIZE THE CENSUS AND BRING IT BACK TO ITS CONSTITUTIONAL PURPOSE.
CRA submitted a formal comment supporting the Census Bureau’s proposed reforms to residence criteria, congressional apportionment counts, and demographic questions. We're also urging the Bureau to go further by permanently eliminating differential privacy and prioritizing accurate population counts over statistical manipulation.
These reforms are important to ensure our Census data is accurate and our political representation is fair.
The public comment deadline has been extended to November 2, 2026.
Attention @tigers Riley Greene is Exhibit A as to why the team will not be competitive. Upper cuts for a home run now and then vs. singles, bunts, and smart baseball.
Every Single MLB organization should eliminate their analytics departments following this dominating performance by the Brewers in the World Series. Fact is you don’t win baseball games by either striking out or hitting home runs. You win baseball games by accumulating base runners. The entire premise of the movie “Moneyball” was to go after guys who could get on base NOT by relying on hitting home runs. Yes, this is coming from me, a guy who lived and breathed advanced stats and sabermetrics for over 20 years. Analytics are nothing more than a tiny tool in the toolbox and NOT some Holy Grail.
Great op-ed about the irrelevance of Marc Racicot in today's Bozeman Chronicle by @MTJakeEaton. Daily Interlake version here: dailyinterlake.com/news/2026…
Exactly. Americans are the most generous people on the face of the earth. Fraudulent taking of tax dollars is a pox on that generosity.
Friends, in the latest episode of the Word on Fire Show, I sat down with Matthew Petrusek to discuss the epidemic of public fraud and why it is a grave assault on the common good. We examine what Catholic social teaching says about theft from the public treasury, the harm this does to the poor, and how Christians can demand accountability without reducing a moral crisis to partisan politics.

Mr. Washington: "George, did you chop down that cherry tree?"
George: "Not to my knowledge."

Looks like the Democrats and/or Seth Bodnar tried to bribe the Democrat candidate for Senate to drop out. @MTAGKnudsen I think that is also a violation of federal law. Rod Blagojevich went to prison for offering to swap a senate nomination for an appointment of his own.
This is extremely concerning. If this is true, it appears to be a violation of Montana Code Annotated 13-35-221. My office will be reaching out to @AlaniBankhead, @SethBodnarForMT and @DNC to investigate.

Permitting reform will disproportionately benefit clean American energy.

A year ago at a Western Governors Association event, a couple Exxon guys started talking to me. I had no idea what they were talking about….turns out, they thought I was @SenKevinCramer. Today, at an event in Bozeman, a guy asked for my autograph…he, too, thought I was Senator Cramer.
I’m going pheasant hunting with my former colleague IJC Commissioner Lance Yohe in the Dickinson, ND area this weekend. Something tells me Sen. Cramer is going to run up some bar tabs!!
Glorious day in Bozeman! Vote @aaronflint @KurtAlme Thank you @SpeakerJohnson and @GovGianforte for supporting these faithful men!
If you love the Fall….

Prosecuting illegal voting is to our democracy as prosecuting graffiti is to safe streets. Fundamental and necessary for a healthy, thriving society.

The National Park Service, together with its official nonprofit and philanthropic partner, @ynpforever, and @Blackstone Infrastructure portfolio company Tallgrass, announces the establishment of a $105 million Conservation and Stewardship Fund, creating a permanent source of support for the long-term stewardship of the world’s first national park. This is the largest single private gift in National Park Service history.
The fund will direct resources toward three priorities essential to Yellowstone’s long-term stewardship: advancing conservation and research to extend the reach and impact of the park’s scientific work; enhancing access and visitor experience through investments in infrastructure; and expanding opportunities for Wyoming students and community members to experience Yellowstone.
This latter effort will include the establishment of the Tallgrass WYld Yellowstone Initiative, named for the long-time Wyoming energy infrastructure operator with more than a decade of operations in the Cowboy State.
The National Park Service will retain full authority over park management decisions, and projects supported through the fund will be consistent with applicable laws, policies and park priorities.
