Yes, after litigation on the amount of fees, the district court imposed them a couple of days ago.

It’s tax day, but MT’s executive branch didn’t follow court orders, so legal fees of $500K+ are now on the taxpayer’s dime. #mtpol #mtnews #montana #politics #jamesreavis

Montana politics has been upended with the resignation of Daines and Zinke, Republican infighting, and Democrats on the rise. Let’s break it all down. #mtsen #mtpol #mtnews #mtleg #jamesreavis

Zinke and Daines are out, independents filing, some Dems in state legislature running uncontested, all in the last 72 hours. #mtnews #mtpol #mthouse #mtsen #mtleg

Enjoy your exits, Zinke and Daines. Don’t worry, @mtdems are ready to get to work. #mtnews #mtpol #mthouse #mtsen

We don’t need “independents” for Congress in MT because the positions of the major parties are vastly different. One party wants you to have healthcare and good schools. The other party’s focus is bombing countries and terrorizing cities they don’t like. Pick a side. #mtnews #mtpol #mthouse #mtsen

MT Republicans already have the muscle memory to not vote for independents. An independent candidate, unless thoroughly discredited, will split the Democratic vote and guarantee a Republican win. #mtnews #mtpol #mthouse #mtsen

Please do not sign any petition to put an “independent” candidate on the Montana ballot for Congress. Any “independent” will have to decide who to caucus with after the election anyway, so it’s just one step removed from picking D or R. #mtnews #mtpol #mthouse #mtsen

The people of Froid, MT stand together for Roberto Orozco-Ramirez and his family #mtnews #mtleg #mtpol #montana #jamesreavis

Jeanette Rankin bravely voted no to war. Trump rose to power by attacking the war in Iraq. Now, when Trump illegally bombs another country and claims to run it, our federal MT delegation kneels to him as supplicants to a king. How weak, feeble, and subservient the @MTGOP has become. #mtnews #mtpol

With SNAP benefits unavailable, Yellowstone County Democrats stepped up and organized a food drive for Billings. @MTDems #mtnews #mtpol

With SNAP cuts looming, Gianforte says MT won’t pay to maintain food assistance benefits Around 77,000 Montanans will lose access to food assistance on Nov. 1 unless the federal government takes action or state dollars are used to foot the bill.

There will be no SNAP money for MT children on November 1. @GovGianforte had the money, legal authority, and power to temporarily use state funds to keep kids fed. He could have stopped this oncoming crisis but did not. #mtleg #mtnews #mtpol @MTDems billingsgazette.com/news/state-r...

SNAP benefits expire on Nov. 1. This is a crisis for hungry MT children. I’m asking Governor Gianforte to use his power to cover food stamp funding until Feds reopen. #mtnews #mtpol #montana #snap #jamesreavis
