picking up the pace

  Hey team, We hate sending these emails in the middle of your Sunday. We know your inbox is flooded with a bunch of fundraising asks all claiming “the sky WILL fall!” if you don’t make a donation “right THIS second!” It’s annoying, we get it. That’s not how we do things. But the trut…

This race is NUTS!!   Hey folks — James Carville here. This race is NUTS!! We already know the Senate majority will come down to Montana — and if we don’t keep Jon Tester in the Senate, Democrats can kiss their majority goodbye! I have a reputation for calling it like it is. In my exp…

I’m the most vulnerable Democratic Senator running for reelection.

  Folks, it's official. Roll Call just ranked me as the most vulnerable Democratic Senator running for reelection in 2024. That’s why Mitch McConnell has made this race his top target and national Republicans are already hammering me with attacks. I know we can win in Montana, but it …

National Republicans are playing political games with our veterans

I won’t turn my back on our vets.   I am ticked off, folks. I’m so mad my hair could catch on fire any minute. National Republicans are playing politics again, and standing in the way of the heroes who have put their lives on the line for this country. Unless we agree to cut veteran s…
