In #MONTANA, #MT01 Ryan Zinke won by 7.7 points. Nearly 113,000 of his constituents are on #Medicaid/CHIP, or around 20% of them.
Religious right continues to seek dominance over vulnerable children and families. And their bills are always named opposite to their effect.

State by State Pending and recently passed #AntiProtestLaws: #Montana
HB 481: New penalties for protests near gas and oil #pipelines
Heightens penalties for protests near oil pipelines and other "critical infrastructure facilities," including those under construction. The law creates an offense of trespassing on critical infrastructure, defined as willfully and knowingly entering property containing a critical infrastructure facility that is posted or fenced. The offense is a misdemeanor, punishable by up to 6 months in jail or a $1,500 fine. If a person trespasses with the intent to willfully impede the facility's operations, or damage, deface, or tamper with facility equipment, the offense is a felony punishable by up to eighteen months in prison or a $4,500 fine. An organization that is found to be a conspirator in trespass on critical infrastructure is liable for fines that are ten times the amount authorized for the crime. A person who trespasses can be held civilly liable for damages to property while trespassing, and an entity or person that compensates or provides consideration to someone for trespass may be held vicariously liable for damages committed by that person. "Critical infrastructure facility" is broadly defined and among many other things includes oil and gas pipelines, refineries, water treatment plants, railroad tracks, and #TelephonePoles.

I stumbled upon the Orvis Store on East Ontario Street in Chicago. They are hosting fly fishing trips to Belize or Montana.
Rods ranged in price from ~ $250 to ~ $1250. Lots of clothes too, but no flies.
Chatted with the sales guy who also loves John Gierach's books.
I am loathe to link to something on Substack, but given how little good news we read nowadays I wanted to share this one: 17 Montana Republicans Cross Party Lines, Defeat Anti-Trans Bill After Nonbinary Rep's Speech
Here's the first paragraph (which I split in half), so you don't need to click through:
"On Tuesday, Montana’s House considered Senate Bill 164, legislation that would classify gender-affirming care for transgender youth as felony child endangerment. The bill would not only target doctors and nurses, but also parents—including those merely passing through the state.
"Though the vote was expected to be close, a powerful floor speech from Representative SJ Howell prompted a wave of Republican defections. The bill was defeated 40–58, becoming one of several anti-trans proposals to fail this year following strong speeches by Montana’s transgender and nonbinary lawmakers."

Weak upper trough in Wrly flow sweeping thru today. Cooler for our Rock Crk. Canyon walk/run and snowing hard at the 2200m start. GYE spring Sun came out after we turned back in too-deep slush past the M-K campground 2350m. Only a moderate W wind, often much worse in there. Easing back into running after straining my MCL 3 weeks ago, so far so good. No ursine friend sign about, moose were in hiding too. 0C at start, warmed up later. #hiking #running #montana #climate #dogs #gye #mountains
