- It’s official. Introducing the Montana Capitol Press Association With this we’ll be able to advocate for press access at the state Capitol as issues arise. Founding members represent print, digital, radio and TV @hollykmichels @eidietrich @shay_ragar @JSAmbarian @blairmiller
- Dark day for Montana news. Missoulian's Rob Chaney laid off this morning after 28 years. Rob was the very best of us and we'll miss him dearly, but this won't be his demise. From his Facebook: "It has been a fantastic run. And I have many miles more to go. Hang tough."
- House gallery still locked today, same with press/staff access to the floor (they let me in, but its usually come and go as we please) in case anyone is wondering if things have returned to 'normal' #mtleg
- For six months I trailed a new Christian nationalist group in Montana, from Jordan, to Ennis, to the state Capitol. Thanks to @Poynter, this series will publish with no paywall. Citizen grand juries and county militias: The quiet rise of Tactical Civics
- Second session in the books. These newshounds and those not pictured handled business these last four months. I’m proud be among them.
- How bad are MT rental prices? From parole board chief of staff: "Given what’s going on with the rental prices, some inmates have trepidation about going out. They don’t want to go out in the community and be homeless. That’s a real subject that’s occurring." #mtnews
- Hard to say how humbled I am to join this team. I have much to learn from the press corps in Helena and from those in our new bureau. But I am excited to get to work. #mtmedia
