A coalition of lawmakers in Congress, including Montana’s Sen. Jon Tester, are working to uphold the integrity of our democracy through the F...
The Washington Post reported on June 4, 2024: “More than 300 [U.S.] House [of Representative] lawmakers were reimbursed at least $5.8 million for food and lodging while on official business in Washington last year under a new taxpayer-funded program that does not require them to provide receipts.” As a former legislative aid on Capitol Hill, we always provided travel, food, and lodging receipts.

I never learned my multiplication tables. Not really. To this day, if you ask me, “What is six times nine?” out of the blue, with some urgency, I will panic. (Please don’t do this.)

Almost immediately, I realized everyone around me was privy to some secret...

I’m sensitive to these things, to an extent. Aware, that’s all. This morning I woke up angry, for no discernable reason and with no object for my anger. This...

The memo added that “antlerless harvest in 2023 was 35% above the 26-year a...
