Miles of fence have been destroyed, I have evacuated from six fires and a three floods, so I know the indescribable feeling of fear and helplessness natural disasters evoke. The good part is that years later, I can look back on those experiences and see the silver lining. We have had four...

    Tom Lutey, montanafreepress.org|Updated Sep 20, 2024

    In the second half of 2023, a secretive political action committee began running television ads against Republican U.S. Senate candidate Tim Sheehy. There were no details about who was funding Last Best Place PAC, how much money it had to spend, or who was working for the committee.
