On this Veterans Day, I am thankful to all the men and women who have sacrificed so much to serve our country, and I am committed to honoring them by creating a system that more fully addresses their needs when they return home. Thank you for your service!

I was blown away by the value added agriculture operation at the Missoula County Public Schools Ag Education Center! This incredible program is keeping meat local, and introducing agriculture to a new generation of Montanans. Thank you for the tour, Tom! #mtpol #MT02

132 years ago, Montana officially became a state! I feel so lucky to not only call Montana home, but also to give back to the place I love by serving in the state legislature. We have come a long way in 132 years, and I believe our best years are still ahead. #mtpol #MT02

The infrastructure package is a historic investment by any measure, one that Biden compares in its breadth to the building of the interstate highway system or the transcontinental railroad. missoulian.com/news/national/

Thanks to
@SenatorTester
and national Democrats, ARPA funds are now available for registered and licensed child care providers in MT. Our economy will never fully recover if parents can't return to work, and these funds will help Montanans do just that. Apply today! #mtpol #MT02

annual convention this morning! Family farmers and ranchers are the lifeblood of rural America, and they deserve an advocate in Congress who understands what rural communities need to thrive. #mtpol #MT02

Reports of

Martha Williams is a dedicated public servant who has a track record of managing our wildlife by putting science first. This is a great choice for Montana and our country, and the Fish and Wildlife Service will be lucky to have her back. Congratulations! #mtpol

There is so much beauty in living in a small town and being involved in your community. I was thrilled to have had the chance to visit with folks in Libby and hear their vision for their town and our state. I hope to visit again soon! bit.ly/3EafhGa #mtpol #MT02

Montana farmers and ranchers have been listening to the same excuses from manufacturers for decades. It’s time to put people over profit and allow these small business owners to fix their own equipment. #mtpol #MT02

John Deere made nearly $6 BILLION in profits last year which they used to buy off MT Republicans and kill Democrat's #RightToRepair bills. Don't take our word. That's what Senator Osmundson, now @GovGianforte Budget Director, let slip to @VICENews. #mtpol vice.com/en/article/88n

I was honored to carry legislation asking Congress to pay tribute to MT's WWII Medal of Honor recipients last session, and I am grateful to
@SenatorTester
for joining this important effort to recognize the sacrifices of the Greatest Generation at the federal level. #mtpol #MT02

Today, I recognized five Medal of Honor recipients from Montana whose spirit, determination, and gallantry went far beyond the call of duty—who pitted bravery and heroism against great odds on the battlefield.

If you really wanted to support family farms, you would support right to repair and ensure Montana farmers and ranchers have the ability to fix their own equipment without paying an arm and a leg. #mtpol #mtleg #MT02 twitter.com/RyanZinke/stat…

Happy #NationalFarmersDay to all Montana producers and the guys & gals who keep you going! Whether it’s beef, wool, sugar beets, hay or grain, Congress needs to make sure you’re on an equal playing field, have certainty in your business and are able to pass it down to the kids.

It was such a treat to tour the new Family Promise facility in Bozeman yesterday! This project will change lives, and I am so grateful to everyone who recognized a need to do more to support homeless families and stepped up to make that vision a reality. #MT02 #mtpol

Ryan Zinke - the guy who made a name for himself selling off our public lands to oil and gas developers - thinks that protecting Bears Ears National Monument is part of a “radical, left wing” agenda... #mtpol

Another terrible decision from the Biden regime. This time forcing a radical left wing activist agenda on the people of Utah. Only 37% of Utahns voted for him; local communities opposed the size of the monuments & the delegation & Governor unanimously oppose monument expansions.

Thank you to
@MTnurses
and the public servants at DPHHS who continue to stand up for science. We need to put partisan politics behind us if we're going to get through this pandemic, and promoting misinformation only creates division and puts more lives at risk. #mtpol #MT02

New: Staff scientists inside Montana's health department wrote their boss with concerns about the science cited by the state's Aug. 31 emergency rule on school mask mandates, calling some of the points used as justification "misleading and false." #mtnews montanafreepress.org/2021/10/05/sta
