Former state legislator. Rider of *almost* every escalator in Montana.
Missoula
Joined July 2019
This political era is all about vengeance & escalation. Impose as much suffering as possible on the other side. They started it anyway and must be destroyed. Civility & grace is for losers & wimps. Real leaders fight - no apologies, no mercy. We desperately need de-escalators.

I'll point to the sign... Low density sprawl is expensive.
NEW: A property tax revolt is spreading throughout the country, fueled by rising home values and tightening budgets. Now, a once-fringe idea to abolish property taxes entirely is gaining new energy — and it’s shaking up Republican politics. https://t.co/0TMh1Re3t6

Great profile in NYT of inimitable @jean_twenge and her efforts to protect kids from Big Tech👇🏼
“The rule that Twenge said is “absolutely the most important in the book” is: no screens in the bedroom overnight. It’s the easiest one for parents to enforce, she said, doable even for those who’ve already given their teenagers smartphones & unrestricted access.”

The so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill” nixed several Montana infrastructure projects. Among them? $63 million in safety upgrades for the notoriously deadly Highway 93. Another four lives were lost this week, and not a peep from our OBBB-supporting delegation. Unbelievable. #mtpol

This summer, a bunch of cities in Kansas started waiving permit fees and reimbursing expenses for neighborhood block parties. Total program budget for one city: $2,000. Pretty cool!
Kansas City-area officials want residents to get out and party with their neighbors this summer. So much so, they are offering to pick up the tab.
