@aaronflint Ten years into "Drain the Swamp" and we're finally getting down to Schitt's Creek:

The culture shift at @Google is appreciated. Easter & now Memorial Day. Thank you. 🇺🇸

@MontanaGrizTFXC 👏👏👏 #GoGriz!

14 athletes. 16 events. The Grizzlies will be well represented this week at the NCAA West First Rounds in Fayetteville, Ark. 📰 gogriz.com/news/2026/5/25… #GrizTF | #GoGriz

@garystriewski Whomever came up with the idea of "SC For You" beta version with you doing voiceover highlights from the past day over on the ESPN app? Promote them. One of the coolest additions to consumer-specific content since Amazon introduced Newsflash. 🇺🇸

💀💀💀

🚨 The real masterminds and backstage geniuses behind the rose petals falling from the Pantheon’s oculus on Pentecost Sunday? The Rome firefighters! Italy at its finest 🇮🇹🔥

@barry4montana @MTGOP @montanasentinel @MontanaFamilies @FrontierMontana @aaronflint @DanBartel13 @BobPhalen2 @TManzella1 @SFC_Network @MTHouseGOP @MTSenateGOP Thanks, Senator. 🇺🇸

Have a Happy & Safe Memorial Day weekend @MTGOP @montanasentinel @MontanaFamilies @FrontierMontana @aaronflint @DanBartel13 @BobPhalen2 @TManzella1 @SFC_Network @MTHouseGOP @MTSenateGOP

A certain #mtpol poll is making it's way across headlines this week. Out of respect for folks I've worked with for 15+ years and highly respect, it's not worth the nitpick. I will say this is the same organization that called me a year ago in a panic, begging me to fix their data. If you want bad data in Montana? Call NYC. If you need highly accurate, actionable data? Call Peak Insights. Reminds me of this gem from childhood:

@jackson_wagner Thanks for sharing. Great story! To win conference in the hardest event in T&F...as a walk-on. Takes a lot of Talent and Grit! #GoGriz

In March 2025, Cadence and I sat in a room in Ball Arena as #GrizHoops prepared for March Madness. He was the head manager for the team. The next month, he ran unattached at a home meet and won. ⏩ One year later, he's Big Sky Champion in the 400 as a walk-on. What a story.

@UMGRIZZLIES @Montanaknifeco @MontanaGrizFB A dream partnership. Thank you MKC for investing in Griz Nation! 🇺🇸

Two local and national brands partnering together! 🤝 Welcome to the family, @Montanaknifeco! 📰 gogriz.com/news/2026/5/15…

@JohnRBruning Would love to know more about what a month's worth of munitions in the Pacific Theater looked like. Mountains upon mountains one would assume...

At the Oregon National Guard Training Center in Umatilla this weekend. The post used to be an ammunition depot during WWII that held 30 days worth of munitions at a time for thr Pacific Theater. In the Cold War, it was a chemical weapons storage facility. Today, the ONG owns it and it is home to the Regional Training Institute.

Years from now…Denver’s children of today will recall a wondrous and terrifying blizzard that shut down the city in May no less. They will recall just how impossible travel was on the…um…wet roads. No way school was even remotely possible on that day, they will say. 🙄

@bowengreenwood 🤩🤩🤩 She's a Keeper! 🇺🇸

Single gentlemen: seek out the kind of wife who has a genuine spent GAU-8 shell casing stuffed with a dummy round as a gift from a mission she flew. Yup, primer punched and everything. (PS: I moved her top challenge coin out of the picture before I took it, because she intends to win that some day).

Best line of the week.

Counterpoint: there is only 1 Strait of Hormuz. Perhaps Ochenski is referring to his favorite 70's rock band "Dire Straits". The survey George cites - from a highly credible organization - breaks down Ag concerns by region. MoE in Montana is astronomical (+/-15%). Lastly: does Ochenski also blame Sheehy and DJT for skyrocketing fertilizer prices in 2022-23? 🤡 Amounts to Palace intrigue over construction of a secure ballroom, less than a week since last assassination attempt. Touch grass, George.

Commentary: Time for this Montana SEAL to come up for air #mtpol dailymontanan.com/2026/05/01/tim…

@BEisenhart Thanks for putting this out there, Ben. Read half the comments - folks way too quick to challenge/opine the numbers. No additional commentary needed. You are correct. Great post. ~Fellow dad/homeowner

This is the mortgage on a $500k home in a newer suburban area in Omaha with $100k down, including taxes and insurance. It is about as low as you will find in the Elkhorn/Gretna/Bennington, NE area. If you are in the camp that your mortgage shouldn’t be more than 20% of your net take-home pay, your household income needs to be at least $19k a month. Not a lot of people hit that, so are we talking about 30-40% of your net take-home pay? Throw in childcare, and Houston, we have a problem. Not sustainable.

@samdknowlton Thanks v/m for the background. Eastern MT farm kid here. Stage IV CRC at 38.

Picloram use is heaviest in the Northern Great Plains and Mountain West, on two land uses: spring and winter wheat (plus oats and barley) and rangeland and pasture managed for noxious weed control. The highest-intensity counties are in Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Idaho, and eastern Washington and Oregon, with a another cluster in Texas and Oklahoma for mesquite and brush control on cattle range. In Montana picloram is registered for direct application on the wheat crop itself. Picloram is among the most persistent and mobile pesticides currently registered, has been detected in groundwater in at least ten states, and resists degradation once it reaches aquifers. The exposed population includes downstream and downgradient communities drawing from contaminated water tables for years after application.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ The time to stop applying picloram was 40 years ago.

Colorectal cancer rates in adults under 50 have doubled since the late 1980s. One in five colorectal cancer diagnoses now occurs in someone under 55, up from one in ten in 1995. A new study highlights the most concrete factor responsible for this trend. Using DNA methylation profiles as molecular records of lifetime exposure, the authors compared cancer patients under 50 with patients over 70 and identified the herbicide picloram as a significant new risk factor. There are converging lines of evidence. The picloram exposure signature was significantly elevated in early-onset tumor tissue and replicated across nine independent patient cohorts. Across 21 years of US county-level data spanning seven states, higher picloram use tracked higher early-onset CRC incidence, and the signal held after adjusting for income, education, and the use of other pesticides. Picloram associated tumors also showed a distinct molecular profile, with APC mutations at 74% versus 90% in low-exposure tumors, suggesting these cancers follow a different biological pathway than classical CRC. Picloram entered commercial use in 1964. Patients now diagnosed in their 70s were already adults before meaningful exposure was possible. Patients now diagnosed in their 30s and 40s were exposed across childhood and adolescence, the developmental windows when epigenetic programming is most plastic. This study delivers the first triangulation of molecular, ecological, and temporal evidence pointing at a specific environmental driver of one of the steepest cancer trends in modern epidemiology.

Go Griz, Go Cats. Great for State!

@jaredm1717 Congrats!

We had a little chat about you last night. Graham Platner doesn’t like rural people, Black people, and he hates women. He’s dangerous, phony, and only looks out for himself.
