Youโ€™ve yet to apologize for your campaign sending out an inflammatory text to your supporters that helped fuel the January 6th insurrection. You also told women members of Congress (all of whom were women of color) to โ€œgo back to where they came from.โ€ Take several seats.

Now is the time to stand united, move forward together & have a peaceful transition of power. Pushing a rushed, largely partisan driven impeachment through Congress will further divide our country.

Today, my wife found an article that was written in 2001 when we gained American citizenship. It was one of our proudest moments. To this day, Maddie and I cherish our right to vote and to participate in democracy. Not everyone gets such an opportunity. Please #Vote

Any legislation aimed at attacking or marginalizing Montanaโ€™s trans youth, will not fly in our great city of Helena. Helena has always been a place of tolerance and acceptance and thatโ€™s not going to change anytime soon. #mtleg

The Governor of Montana represents every person, in every crag and village from Alzada to the Yaak, from Browning to Fort Peck, and from Glacier to Yellowstone. Only one person is running to represent all Montanans. Vote Mike Cooney to keep Montana the 'Last Best Place'

I strongly oppose the advancing of the discriminatory House Bill 112 that targets Trans youth in Montana. This isnโ€™t what Public Service is about. As Mayor of Helena, I will continue to use my voice as an opponent of discrimination of any kind. #mtpol #mtleg

Donald Trump can loudly proclaim that he hates fellow American citizens without hesitation. Condemning murderous dictators like Vladimir Putin? Never has. Never will. Iโ€™m with Kamala Harris.

Vladimir Putin is the sole person responsible for Russia invading Ukraine. It saddens me that some are using this tragedy to attack fellow Americans for nothing more than political expediency. Russia is waging war on us too, hoping to see us crack from within. We must not.

Entirely irresponsible from a U.S. Senator, @SteveDaines . This is embarrassing for the people of Montana. The American people are deciding this election as they have done since 1788.

Some Montanans received this text message yesterday. I checked in with the โฆ @DainesforMT โฉ camp. They confirmed it is their text and said โ€œSen. Daines stands with President Trump as do Montanans.โ€ #mtpol #mtnews #Election2020

Hereโ€™s your legacy @SteveDaines . Your name will not be remembered as a public servant who stood up and for Montanans with fortitude as the President staged a coup against his own government. Rather, your name will be right next to those who poured gas on the fire.

@GretaThunberg Welcome to Montana Greta! You are making change. You are a beacon of hope. I just pledged as Mayor of Helena, Montana's capital city, that we will transition our city to 100% clean energy by 2030. I'm running for U.S. Senate against a climate change denier. We must act now.

I hope @SteveDaines now understands why we canโ€™t tolerate the Presidentโ€™s divisive and hateful rhetoric. The victims of these latest mass shootings, were people of color. He should apologize and come January of 2021, he should enjoy retirement. #mtnews #mtpol

Back here in Montana, Veterans are wondering when theyโ€™ll get a chance to engage face to face with their Senator and hear why he chose to vote against the Veterans home in Butte. Iโ€™ll always fight for and deliver for Montana Veterans, not just when it's politically expedient.

If you see a snowplow driver out and about in Helena, be sure to thank them. They serve us in ways that often go unrecognized. I personally thank each and every one of them for keeping us safer during the winter months.

When the bipartisan infrastructure bill is signed into law, donโ€™t let the republicans who voted โ€œnoโ€, show up to ribbon cuttings without asking why they voted against this critical piece of legislation. Mayors across the country appreciate this infrastructure bill.

We have to push for lobbying and election reform to save our democracy. We must overturn Citizen's United and we need to make it so that the person that can write the biggest check does not have the biggest say in our laws or economic system. #mtpol #mtsen

On this anniversary of #RoevWade I stand with women. A womanโ€™s right to make her own medical decisions, including abortion, must be protected. #Roe47 We must be vigilant and fight to protect the right to privacy, and the basic freedoms guaranteed to all Americans. #RoeIRL #FBR
