As always, Daines was glad to chat with some of Montana's youngest and brightest....
The Bulldogs' record dropped to 1-4 on the season when they fell to the Spartans on Friday night in Scobey. It was the Spartan running attack that really did damage early on as the Bulldogs found themselves down 22-0 late in the second quarter. Early offensive woes including a few false starts and some missed blocking assignments kept the Dogs from scoring until late in the second when they were able to put a complete drive together. The Dogs had a 4th and nine deep into...

It is the lifeblood of our economy, and public lands are where many of us create the memories we cherish with our families. As your Congressman and Secretary of the Interior, I led the charge against the sale or...

Perhaps Twitter and Facebook won't alter the course of history, but I cannot help but think they would have changed the perception of historic events if they had existed back in the day. With Columbus Day coming up, let me hypo...
Hello God, it’s me, Mara: You know, Lord, big, little, old or young, sometimes we get frightened right out of our socks and we want our Mama. We always felt safe when we could snuggle in Mama’s arms. Watching tiny ‘Tatiana’ struggling to walk, a counter blocking her view; we smiled as she turned and ran as best as she could, back into the safety of her Mama’s arms. Another little girl was ‘lost’ – her Mama was at work, but she knew that Nana lived up the hill from her. So, slipping out of her house, barefooted and...
