Privileged to escort a U.S. Capitol Dome tour.

Quite a line from Troy Jackson on Sen. Susan Collins:
“I guess I’m wondering why she’s not beating me by more.”
U.S. Senate candidate @TroyJackson207 (D-ME) on close race with opponent Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME): "Why is this logger from Allagash being competitive with you? I think that says a lot more about her record than it does about mine."

It was very meaningful to visit Poland with my friend Rabbi Bruk.
Seeing Auschwitz firsthand was a profound and sobering experience. It was a stark reminder of the evil genocide committed by the Nazis against the Jewish people. 1.1 million innocent men, women, and children were murdered at Auschwitz alone.
I thank Rabbi Bruk for his many years of friendship and for accompanying me on this visit.
NOW: Senator @SteveDaines and @MontanaJew are currently in Poland together, they just wrapped up an emotional tour of the Auschwitz Museum.
It is and has always been
“It made us all so proud to have an Indian on a big time team.”
Blackie Wetzel of Montana’s Blackfeet Tribe, 2002
In 1971 Wetzel inspired and brought to life the iconic logo, working with George Allen and the team.

I think an easier first step would to be restructuring some of the rules. There is a current proposal going around, and while I'm sure parliamentarian wonks may have quibbles about it, the intent seems correct. legislativeprocedure.com/s/F…

Seeing this logo always brings a deep sense of pride because it was designed by my grandfather, Walter "Blackie" Wetzel. In 1971, he walked into a meeting with the team to replace their old imagery and walked out having created something meant to genuinely symbolize the strength, pride, and service of Native communities. He didn't just advocate through art; he spent decades serving as a leader for the Blackfeet Nation and the National Congress of American Indians. Grateful to honor his memory and keep his story alive.

Literally none of this is true. These “anonymous” R consultants def aren’t working the big races. Every R in a big time House or Senate race is driving a hard contrast with either a weird or a radical Dem opponent. Sometimes both.

The “Both sides” fallacy, especially on this matter, is as ridiculous as it is false

.@elonmusk, some advice—great car, btw! With all these journos mad at you for expressing yourself through SLF, a smart play may be to establish news organizations that reflect your political views. Because that’s apparently what the First Amendment covers, it’s free and clear.

Today is Infant Loss Awareness Day.
Ten years ago, we lost our baby, Ruby Grace. She never got to meet her 4 brothers. Complete devastation.
Thanks to God, one year later, we were blessed with a beautiful, healthy daughter, who is truly loved for two.
Prayers for all the moms & dads who lost a baby.
Man, between the Bullets and Redskins, DMV sports fans have had it tough when it comes to dealing with forced change on popular brands
A lesson learned - Changing brands is very hard and should be avoided absent Overwhelming support for doing so
Many Washington Wizards fans want a franchise rebrand. They say a new era demands new primary uniforms, a new logo and perhaps a new name. What are the chances of all that happening? Story at @TheAthleticNBA, free for everyone to read:

Shannon via text to me:
“Enough is enough. We all know that things have been very wrong in DC for a long time. It’s time to be bold and be honest with ourselves and the voters. Bodnar shares our values and he can beat Alme.”
