From energy independence to workforce innovation, Montana is charting a course for long-term growth. In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Governor Greg Gianforte at the Big Sky Bright Future Economic Summit to discuss how his administration is unleashing opportunity across the Treasure State. Gianforte outlines his vision for an “all-of-the-above” energy strategy—expanding coal, wind, solar, hydro, and nuclear—while ensuring Montana remains one of the easiest places in America to do business. With streamlined permitting and a pro-growth mindset, projects that take years elsewhere are moving in months in Montana. The governor also highlights his efforts to make housing more affordable by cutting red tape and increasing supply, and to strengthen the workforce through his 406 Jobs Initiative, which connects veterans, returning citizens, individuals with disabilities, and Native communities to meaningful employment. As Gianforte puts it, “No one grows up hoping to be dependent on the government.” His goal is simple: help every Montanan find dignity and purpose in work, build a stronger economy, and secure a brighter future under the Big Sky.
Bex Frucht is a force of nature—a storyteller and community builder whose work blends performance, land, and small-town life in the American West. Based in Livingston, Montana, she's the founder of TMI Live, a storytelling series that celebrates vulnerability, humor, and human connection, and for the past three years, she's been the “vibe steward” of the Old Salt Festival, where her talent for bringing people together has become legendary. Whether she's hosting a show, coaching storytellers, or emceeing a fundraiser, Bex radiates generosity, intelligence, and positivity in a way that elevates every room she's in. Like so many of my favorite people, her career path is as winding as it is fascinating: a Morehead-Cain Scholar at UNC Chapel Hill, she spent her early years in media and entertainment in New York and Los Angeles, then pivoted to environmental work before landing on a ranch in Colorado to learn about land stewardship from the ground up. Those years on the prairie, combined with her creative life in cities and her Southern roots, helped hone her rare ability to connect seemingly opposite worlds—artists and ranchers, movie stars and cowboys, locals and newcomers—through the shared power of story. In this conversation recorded at her home in Livingston, we trace her inspiring journey and talk about the lessons she's learned along the way: what it means to find your authentic voice, how storytelling can build bridges across divides, and why embracing your weirdness can be the key to a meaningful life. It's a funny, authentic conversation that's as instructive as it is entertaining. For anyone who's ever wondered how to forge their own path, live creatively, and stay grounded in community, this episode is for you. Be sure to check out the episode notes for a full list of all the topics we discussed and links to everything. And give Bex a follow on Instagram to stay in the loop about her upcoming storytelling shows and appearances in Montana and beyond. A big thanks to Bex for her friendship, encouragement, inspiration, and this conversation.

If you crave more moments of feeling awake and fully present, this episode reveals how aliveness is already available in the ordinary. I'll never forget a moment in Montana when everything felt so alive - the colors in the sky, my family laughing, the fire crackling. But soon I wondered, why can't I feel this at home too? That question led me to discover that aliveness isn't rare, it's simply missed when we rush past it. Today, I share how to notice it more often. Action Steps: Practice presence: Slow down and let yourself truly notice small things. Savor simple rituals: Linger over coffee, watch the sunset, or enjoy your first bites of dinner. Put the phone away: Create space to be fully there with people and experiences. Use your breath: Take slow, intentional breaths to reconnect with your body. Invite joy daily: Play music, dance, or hug someone a little longer. Join the email list for Take The Exit - Be the first to step inside the story! More from Megan YouTube | Website | Instagram

From pheasant season updates to Montana's new habitat protections—this week's roundup covers the biggest moves shaping America's hunting and fishing future. This week on The Sportsmen's Voice Roundup, the crew digs into the most important conservation and policy headlines impacting hunters, anglers, and outdoor enthusiasts nationwide. With Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro joining the Sportsmen's Caucus, the growing momentum behind legislative support for outdoor traditions takes center stage.

The conversation also breaks down key actions from the Montana Fish and Wildlife Commission, including wildlife disease management strategies, drought mitigation efforts, and how conservation easements are being used to protect both habitat and public hunting access. Listeners will walk away with a stronger understanding of how legislation, conservation groups, and state agencies are shaping the future of waterfowl hunting, big game management, and fisheries conservation. It's a boots-on-the-ground look at how policy decisions ripple across the fields, forests, and waterways that define the American outdoors.

403 Choosing Love First It's easy to forget that we have free will, that we can choose what we love, what we like, how we choose for others to perceive us. It takes a great deal of self reflection and growth to find the parts of ourselves that are willing to speak up and fight for what we believe in, even if we must speak up and fight against ourselves. In today's episode Sarah Elkins and Edward Simberg discuss everything from how they met, to their deep love of storytelling, to the core beliefs they both hold dear. Highlights How do you live the stories you share? How do your stories reflect your values? Do you put genuine human effort into reaching out to a person? How are your self perceptions skewed? Are you conscious of how you want to be perceived? What is something you want? And what are your next steps in getting there? If you can have foundational love and gratitude your life will change. Quotes “You need to burn that candle a little bit, before you realize how big that fire really is.” “If you want it, it's way more likely that it's going to happen.” “We don't choose our interests, that's one of the most interesting things I've learned lately. We don't really choose our thoughts, we don't really choose our interests, they just come to us.” “Do you think love is a choice?” Dear Listeners it is now your turn, I have a few questions for you: The first is, what is something you say you're not good at and maybe it's time to ask yourself the question, am I not good at it or have I decided not to be good at it? Have I decided not to try? Is it something I call inauthentic when it's actually uncomfortable or I don't like it? The next thing I would love to hear from you about is what was your takeaway? I was thinking about the difference between love and like, and why I feel like love is a more important choice to people and things. Because that will color how you choose happiness as well. And Last, I would love to hear what you are going to do with this one precious life and having conversations -extended conversations- with people in your community. Now, Go. And, as always, thank you for listening.

As well as his website Max Capacity Agency! About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana.

It's the first new Hallmark Christmas movie of 2025! The whole gang is back together to review A Royal Montana Christmas, recorded live during the Deck the Hallmark Marathon.ABOUT A ROYAL MONTANA CHRISTMASOverwhelmed by her royal duties during the Christmas season, Princess Victoria of Zelarnia decides to take a vacation to Peaceful Pines Ranch in Montana to decompress and reconnect with a place she remembers from childhood. While at the ranch, she meets Huntley Blaylock, a rugged ranch guide, and the two form an unexpected bond as she rediscovers small-town traditions and considers what she truly wants for her future.AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR A ROYAL MONTANA CHRISTMASPremieres Saturday, October 18, 2025 | Hallmark ChannelCAST & CREW OF A ROYAL MONTANA CHRISTMASFiona Gubelmann as Princess Victoria of ZelarniaWarren Christie as Huntley BlaylockBRAN'S A ROYAL MONTANA CHRISTMAS SYNOPSISWe are in Zelarnia, and Princess Victoria is a VIBE! She's very clearly British—you can tell by her accent. She likes horses, she's not great with candles… but SHE IS CRUSHING IT! She's reading a Hallmark card from her papa—her papa taught her everything she knows about horses. She comes downstairs in her cozy, earth-toned pajamas.Missing her dad, Victoria wants to visit a ranch she used to spend time at with him as a kid. Her mom says, clearly, “This means a lot to you. Off you go.”It doesn't take long for her to get into trouble. She runs over a guy's box of ornaments—so inconsiderate.When she arrives at the ranch, she asks about the holiday ball. They tell her they don't do that anymore. Princess Victoria is sad—but that's nothing some Christmas games with other guests can't fix. That is, until Mr. Angry Pants from earlier shows up. He introduces himself as Huntly and mentions he's staying there… or something like that. Turns out, his parents own the ranch! He's home for the holidays, taking a break from coaching baseball.They start working around the ranch together, and it's magical. The thing is, Coach Huntly isn't super skilled with ranch chores, but that doesn't stop him from helping Victoria practice her lasso skills. It's… a lot.The next day, Victoria sticks around to help decorate. She finds out the local volunteer firefighters need to raise money. Victoria says, “How about a Christmas dance? I can plan it!” Huntly doesn't like the idea and storms off. What's his deal?He goes to talk to his dad, who tells him to stop being such a dope. Huntly comes back and tells Victoria she can plan the party—but it has to be on the 19th. She sighs, “Well, I guess I'll have to extend my trip.” To celebrate, they go stargazing together.We learn he hates the dance because it was supposed to be his big sendoff to play ball. He got injured that year and never went again. It also turns out they actually met as kids, and he always wished she'd return. He leans in for a kiss, and she stops him.

Clay's conversation with Nat and Mikey, schoolteachers from Britain, who are floating down the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers from Three Forks, Montana, all the way to St. Louis and beyond, with hopes of ending in New Orleans around the time of Mardi Gras. They recount their adventures so far. At the time of the interview, they were just north of Pierre, South Dakota, staying for one night in a resort motel on Lake Oahe. What have they learned about America, about Lewis and Clark, about Native Americans, about their relationship, and about themselves? They capsized on day two just north of Three Forks, but have managed to stay upright ever since, and they are confident they will be able to float all the way to the mouth of the Mississippi. This episode was recorded on September 30, 2025.
WOW—We are back with more of my Top 25 Lessons in 25-years. Today we have lessons #11 through #20 and I believe it's going to light a spark in your soul. These are the lessons forged through years of sweat, setbacks, and success in business, life, and leadership. From how to create deep, internal change… to the power of mentorship, team culture, and mindset… this episode is all about leveling up who you are and how you can lead even more effectively. Here's a sneak peek at what we're covering today: Lesson #11: The deepest and most profound change happens on the inside. You either invite change into your life — or it bursts forth from within you. Real growth starts in the heart and shows up in your actions. Lesson #12: Have a coach. Have a mentor. No one evolves to their best version alone. Every champion has someone pouring into them. Who's pouring into you right now and who are you pouring into? Lesson #13: Greatness is a mindset — and it never ends. Whether you're a trainer, leader, or parent, the goal is the same: show up fully every single day. Every session, every conversation, every podcast — bring your BEST. Lesson #14: The bigger your dream, the more important your team. You can't build big dreams with small thinking or solo effort. Great leaders build great people — and that's how you change the world. Lesson #15: Keep a white belt mentality. Never stop learning. Stay humble. Keep growing. Growth is the oxygen of greatness. Lesson #16: Know your top five roles in life. Say “yes” to your priorities and “no” to the noise. Define your mission — then live it with intentionality. Lesson #17: Your environment dictates how you think, feel, and act. Upgrade your surroundings — from your workspace to your gym to your relationships — and watch your energy shift instantly. Lesson #18: Get off your phone. Seriously. Carve out phone-free time every day and reclaim your focus, creativity, and peace. Lesson #19: Want to make more money? Get more blue sky and mellow yellow time and this will help you gain more green machine. Your biggest ideas come when you unplug, dream, and recharge. Lesson #20: He or she who has their health has a thousand dreams…he or she who does not, has ONE. Protect your health like your life depends on it — because it does.

Jack Horner inspired a character in Jurassic Park after the dino discovery of a lifetime.Jack has been fascinated by fossils for as long as he can remember. He spent his childhood digging around in the fossil-rich earth of Montana, as his father was involved in the gravel-extraction business. By the age of eight he was rewarded with his first big treasure – a real piece of dinosaur bone. As Jack's fossil collection grew, so did his passion for palaeontology. But he struggled at school, where severe undiagnosed dyslexia led his teachers and parents to write him off as lazy and spoiled. He pushed on regardless and in 1978 made a life-changing find: the world's first baby-dinosaur skeletons, and evidence that dinosaur parents cared for and raised their young like many modern birds. The discovery made front-page headlines around the world, and led to awards and accolades Jack had never thought possible. It also brought him to the attention of author Michael Crichton, who based a lead character in his hit book, Jurassic Park, on Jack. And when the call came from Stephen Spielberg to come and advise on the movie version, his fame as a dinosaur expert hit a whole new level. Jack was then himself inspired by the movie, and supervised one of his students in extracting DNA from a T. rex. It didn't work – but it led to his current 'Dino Chicken' project, where he is discovering how to bring ancient dinosaur features back to life in modern birds so he can finally have a pet dinosaur of his own.Presenter: Asya Fouks Producer: Anna Lacey and Lucy DaviesLives Less Ordinary is a podcast from the BBC World Service that brings you the most incredible true stories from around the world.

Watch the best scene reading: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORLXdXShdAk Desperate to escape her abusive, Christian Nationalist family, a teenage girl finds an unlikely ally when a female werewolf from a pack dead set on killing her family lands in her home, and the attraction they develop for each other forces them into a fight for their very survival. Get to know the writer: What is your screenplay about? Beasties is a coming of age, horror story, about Mara, a late teen girl living on a remote ranch in Montana with her abusive, Christian nationalist family with dreams, but no means, of escaping. Her life changes when Lilly, the daughter of an equally toxic werewolf clan traveling through Montana, ends up saving Mara's life and consequently lands in Mara's family's home during an extreme winter storm. As Lilly's family descends on the farm to retrieve Lilly, Mara's family realizes that Lilly and Mara have formed a romantic connection, going against the very roots of their family moral system. With Lilly's family hell bent on destroying Mara's, and Mara's family hell bent on destroying Mara and Lilly, the two girls find themselves in a desperate battle for survival that forces them to each question their own moral compass if they are to win. What genres does your screenplay fall under? Horror and coming of age Why should this screenplay be made into a movie? This movie works with current and relevant themes that are being questioned in our current political climate. The idea of “beasts” is examined in the film superficially as the werewolves, but more authentically of how we have characterized people as beasts within our society based on our morale beliefs. While Mara's mom tries to initially save Lilly because it is the Christian thing to do, once she realizes that Mara and Lilly have connected romantically, she moves to kill not just Lilly, but also Mara, as her religious beliefs are so compromised by the thought of her daughter being a lesbian. The script also explores the hypocrisy of using our beliefs to defend our actions. In spite of his strong religious beliefs, Mara's father kills Lilly's father early in the script because he feels that Lilly's father is morally beneath him. The script also explores themes of toxic masculinity and the difference in the rules in our society depending on gender. It's also a fun horror movie set in a remote, barren setting, that has some good old fashioned fun horror scenes.

Ralph welcomes Professor Roddey Reid to break down his book “Confronting Political Intimidation and Public Bullying: A Handbook for the Trump Era and Beyond.” Then, we are joined by the original Nader's Raider, Professor Robert Fellmeth, who enlightens us on how online anonymity and Artificial Intelligence are harming children.Roddey Reid is Professor Emeritus at the University of California, San Diego where he taught classes on modern cultures and societies in the US, France, and Japan. Since 2008 he has researched and published on trauma, daily life, and political intimidation in the US and Europe. He is a member of Indivisible.org San Francisco, and he hosts the blog UnSafe Thoughts on the fluidity of politics in dangerous times. He is also the author of Confronting Political Intimidation and Public Bullying: A Handbook for the Trump Era and Beyond.I think we still have trouble acknowledging what's actually happening. Particularly our established institutions that are supposed to protect us and safeguard us—many of their leaders are struggling with the sheer verbal and physical violence that's been unfurling in front of our very eyes. Many people are exhausted by it all. And it's transformed our daily life to the point that I think one of the goals is (quite clearly) to disenfranchise people such that they don't want to go out and participate in civic life.Roddey ReidWhat's broken down is…a collective response, organized group response. Now, in the absence of that, this is where No King's Day and other activities come to the fore. They're trying to restore collective action. They're trying to restore the public realm as a place for politics, dignity, safety, and shared purpose. And that's been lost. And so this is where the activists and civically engaged citizens and residents come in. They're having to supplement or even replace what these institutions traditionally have been understood to do. It's exhilarating, but it's also a sad moment.Roddey ReidRobert Fellmeth worked as a Nader's Raider from 1968 to 1973 in the early days of the consumer movement. He went on to become the Price Professor of Public Interest Law at the University of San Diego (where he taught for 47 years until his retirement early this year) and he founded their Children's Advocacy Institute in 1983. Since then, the Institute has sponsored 100 statutes and 35 appellate cases involving child rights, and today it has offices in Sacramento and DC. He is also the co-author of the leading law textbook Child Rights and Remedies.I think an easy remedy—it doesn't solve the problem totally—but simply require the AI to identify itself when it's being used. I mean, to me, that's something that should always be the case. You have a right to know. Again, free speech extends not only to the speaker, but also to the audience. The audience has a right to look at the information, to look at the speech, and to judge something about it, to be able to evaluate it. That's part of free speech.Robert FellmethNews 10/17/25* In Gaza, the Trump administration claims to have brokered a ceasefire. However, this peace – predicated on an exchange of prisoners – is extremely fragile. On Tuesday, Palestinians attempting to return to their homes were fired upon by Israeli soldiers. Defense Minister Israel Katz claimed those shot were “terrorists” whose attempts to “approach and cross [the Yellow Line] were thwarted.” Al Jazeera quotes Lorenzo Kamel, a professor of international history at Italy's University of Turin, who calls the ceasefire a “facade” and that the “structural violence will remain there precisely as it was – and perhaps even worse.” We can only hope that peace prevails and the Palestinians in Gaza are able to return to their land. Whatever is left of it.* Despite this ceasefire, Trump was denied in his bid for a Nobel Peace Prize. The prize instead went to right-wing Venezuelan dissident María Corina Machado. Democracy Now! reports Machado ran against Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in 2023, but was “barred from running after the government accused her of corruption and cited her support for U.S. sanctions against Venezuela.” If elected Machado has promised to privatize Venezuela's state oil industry and move Venezuela's Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, and in 2020, her party, Vente Venezuela, “signed a pact formalizing strategic ties with Israel's Likud party led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.” Machado has also showered praise on right-wing Latin American leaders like Javier Milei of Argentina and following her victory, praised Trump's “decisive support,” even telling Fox News that Trump “deserves” the prize for his anti-Maduro campaign, per the Nation.* Machado's prize comes within the context of Trump's escalating attacks on Venezuela. In addition to a fifth deadly strike on a Venezuelan boat, which killed six, the New York Times reports Trump has ordered his envoy to the country Richard Grenell to cease all diplomatic outreach to Venezuela, including talks with President Maduro. According to this report, “Trump has grown frustrated with…Maduro's failure to accede to American demands to give up power voluntarily and the continued insistence by Venezuelan officials that they have no part in drug trafficking.” Grenell had been trying to strike a deal with the Bolivarian Republic to “avoid a larger conflict and give American companies access to Venezuelan oil,” but these efforts were obviously undercut by the attacks on the boats – which Democrats contend are illegal under U.S. and international law – as well as Secretary of State Marco Rubio labeling Maduro a “fugitive from American justice,” and placing a $50 million bounty on his head. With this situation escalating rapidly, many now fear direct U.S. military deployment into Venezuela.* Meanwhile, Trump has already deployed National Guard troops to terrorize immigrants in Chicago. The Chicago Sun-Times reports Pope Leo XIV, the first American Pope and a Chicago native, met with Chicago union leaders in Rome last week and urged them to take action to protect immigrants in the city. Defending poor immigrants is rapidly becoming a top priority for the Catholic Church. Pope Leo has urged American bishops to “speak with one voice” on the issue and this story related that “El Paso bishop Mark Seitz brought Leo letters from desperate immigrant families.” Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich, also at the meeting with Leo and the union leaders, said that the Pope “wants us to make sure, as bishops, that we speak out on behalf of the undocumented or anybody who's vulnerable to preserve their dignity…We all have to remember that we all share a common dignity as human beings.”* David Ellison, the newly-minted CEO of Paramount, is ploughing ahead with a planned expansion of his media empire. His next target: Warner Bros. Discovery. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Ellison already pitched a deal to WB CEO David Zaslav, but the $20 per share offer was rejected. However, Ellison is likely to offer a new deal “possibly…backed by his father Larry Ellison or a third party like Apollo [Global Management].” There is also talk that he could go directly to the WBD shareholders if the corporate leadership proves unresponsive. If Ellison is intent on this acquisition, he will need to move fast. Zaslav is planning to split the company into a “studios and HBO business,” and a Discovery business, which would include CNN. Ellison is clearly interested in acquiring CNN to help shape newsroom perspectives, as his recent appointment of Bari Weiss as “editor-in-chief” of CBS News demonstrates, so this split would make an acquisition far less of an attractive prospect. We will be watching this space.* In another Ellison-related media story, Newsweek reports Barron Trump, President Trump's 19-year-old son, is being eyed for a board seat at the newly reorganized Tik-Tok. According to this story, “Trump's former social media manager Jack Advent proposed the role at the social media giant, as it comes into U.S. ownership, arguing that the younger Trump's appointment could broaden TikTok's appeal among young users.” Barron is currently enrolled in New York University's Stern School of Business and serves as an “ambassador” for World Liberty Financial, the “Trump family's crypto venture.” TikTok U.S., formerly owned and operated by the Chinese company ByteDance, is being taken over by a “consortium of American investors [including Larry Ellison's] Oracle and investment firm Silver Lake Partners,” among others.* As the government shutdown drags on, the Trump administration is taking the opportunity to further gut the federal government, seeming to specifically target the offices protecting the most vulnerable. According to NPR, “all staff in the [Department of Education] Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS), with the exception of a handful of top officials and support staff, were cut,” in a reduction-in-force or RIF order issued Friday. One employee is quoted saying “This is decimating the office responsible for safeguarding the rights of infants, toddlers, children and youth with disabilities.” Per this report, OSERS is “responsible for roughly $15 billion in special education funding and for making sure states provide special education services to the nation's 7.5 million children with disabilities.” Just why exactly the administration is seeking to undercut federal support for disabled children is unclear. Over at the Department of Health and Human Services, headed by Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., HHS sent out an RIF to “approximately 1,760 employees last Friday — instead of the intended 982,” as a “result of data discrepancies and processing errors,” NOTUS reports. The agency admitted the error in a court filing in response to a suit brought by the employees' unions. Even still, the cuts are staggering and include 596 employees at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and 125 at the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, to name just a few. This report notes that other agencies, including the Departments of Justice, Treasury and Homeland Security all sent out inaccurately high RIFs as well.* The Lever reports Boeing, the troubled airline manufacturer, is fighting a new Federal Aviation Administration rule demanding additional inspections for older 737 series planes after regulators discovered cracks in their fuselages. The rule “would revise the inspection standards…through a regulatory action called an ‘airworthiness directive.'...akin to a product recall if inspectors find a defective piece of equipment on the plane…in [this case] cracks along the body of the plane's main cabin.” The lobbying group Airlines for America is seeking to weaken the rule by arguing that the maintenance checks would be too “costly” for the airline industry, who would ultimately have to bear the financial brunt of these inspections. Boeing is fighting them too because such a rule would make airlines less likely to buy Boeing's decaying airplanes. As this report notes, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy – who oversees the FAA – “previously worked as an airline lobbyist…[and] Airlines for America recently selected the former Republican Governor of New Hampshire, Chris Sununu to be their chief executive officer.”* In more consumer-related news, Consumer Reports has been conducting a series of studies on lead levels in various consumer products. Most recently, a survey of protein powders and shakes found “troubling levels of toxic heavy metals,” in many of the most popular brands. They write, “For more than two-thirds of the products we analyzed, a single serving contained more lead than CR's food safety experts say is safe to consume in a day—some by more than 10 times.” Some of these products have massively increased in heavy metal content just over the last several years. CR reports “Naked Nutrition's Vegan Mass Gainer powder, the product with the highest lead levels, had nearly twice as much lead per serving as the worst product we analyzed in 2010.” The experts quoted in this piece advise against daily use of these products, instead limiting them to just once per week.* Finally, in a new piece in Rolling Stone, David Sirota and Jared Jacang Maher lay out how conservatives are waging new legal campaigns to strip away the last remaining fig leaves of campaign finance regulation – and what states are doing to fight back. One angle of attack is a lawsuit targeting the restrictions on coordination between parties and individual campaigns, with House Republicans arguing that, “because parties pool money from many contributors, that ‘significantly dilutes the potential for any particular donor to exercise a corrupting influence over any particular candidate' who ultimately benefits from their cash.” Another angle is a lawsuit brought by P.G. Sittenfeld, the former Democratic mayor of Cincinnati – who has already been pardoned by Trump for accepting bribes – but is seeking to establish that “pay-to-play culture is now so pervasive that it should no longer be considered prosecutable.” However, the authors do throw out one ray of hope from an unlikely source: Montana. The authors write, “Thirteen years after the Supreme Court gutted the state's century-old anti-corruption law, Montana luminaries of both parties are now spearheading a ballot initiative circumventing Citizens United jurisprudence and instead focusing on changing state incorporation laws that the high court rarely meddles with.The measure's proponents note that Citizens United is predicated on state laws giving corporations the same powers as actual human beings, including the power to spend on politics. But they point out that in past eras, state laws granted corporations more limited powers — and states never relinquished their authority to redefine what corporations can and cannot do. The Montana initiative proposes to simply use that authority to change the law — in this case, to no longer grant corporations the power to spend on elections.” Who knows if this initiative will move forward in Montana, but it does provide states a blueprint for combatting the pernicious influence of Citizens United. States should and must act on it.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard. Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

Shooters will recognize it, as it is frequently allied with lead to make a harder, more durable alloy for cast bullets. We should note that lead-antimony alloys have many other uses, from lead-acid batteries to sailboat keels. Antimony is used in other alloys as well, such as antifriction alloys, electric cable sheathing, and type metals for printing presses, which apparently are not completely extinct yet. It's also used in flame retardants, and - this is key - in semiconductors. It's also has applications in pharmaceuticals. a key strategic mineral. Alaska has antimony. Now, in Alaska, a company called Nova Minerals, with a grant from the War Department, has a contract to build an antimony refinery at Port MacKenzie, west of Anchorage, to process ore from the Estelle gold mine in the West Susitna Mineral District. With Pentagon backing and a goal to begin delivering Alaska-sourced antimony into U.S. supply chains by 2027, Nova Minerals Ltd. has secured a 42.8-acre site at Port MacKenzie west of Anchorage for a refinery that would process antimony concentrates from its Estelle project and other sources."This is a defining moment for Nova Minerals and for U.S. critical mineral independence," Nova Minerals CEO Christopher Gerteisen said upon securing land use permits for the industrial site about four miles from a deepwater port in Southcentral Alaska.The refinery, to be developed by Nova subsidiary Alaska Range Resources (ARR), is part of a strategy to leverage the very high-grade antimony mineralization found on the company's Estelle project about 100 miles west of Port MacKenzie to establish a domestic supply of this metalloid critical to a wide range of military and commercial applications. Antimony is also found in Idaho and Montana. But a majority of antimony production comes from countries that are not particularly friendly to the United States: China, Russia, and Tajikistan, which, between them, account for almost 80 percent of global supply.

In the summer of 1987, three children discovered that the line between childhood games and the paranormal can disappear in an instant. Out on their grandfather's land near a rumored Native burial ground in rural Montana, the days smelled of cut hay and pine resin — but at dusk, the yard belonged to something else. It began with a toy truck that hurled itself off a shelf, striking the wall with unnatural force. Soon came the faceless black boy crouched beneath the oak tree, holding their toy in silence before vanishing into thin air. But the strangest apparition arrived at midnight: a 17-year-old girl in a faded blue dress, hair in braids, umbrella and purse in hand, standing stiff in the upstairs hallway — staring past them as though trapped in another time. The house's doorbell rang on its own, voices whispered in the backyard when no one was there, and a massive black hand once gripped the doorframe as if trying to pull itself inside. This chilling true ghost story isn't about creaky floors — it's about the way childhood wonder collides with the unseen. Decades later, the memories still linger like a breath on the back of the neck… and the question remains: were these ghosts of the land, or something far older? #TrueGhostStory #RealHaunting #Haunted #FacelessBoy #ShadowFigures #ParanormalActivity #ChildhoodHaunting #GirlInBlueDress #GhostStoriesPodcast #HauntedHouseTales #SupernaturalEncounters #CreepyChildhoodStories Love real ghost stories?

The wind on the Montana prairie always sounded haunted, but for Jessica, the real nightmare began at age ten — the night a plastic toy hurled itself off a shelf and shattered against the wall. That was just the first sign of a true haunting that would shadow her for decades. In the old farmhouse near a Native burial ground, knives slid off tables, doors slammed on their own, and at twelve she woke to invisible hands choking her — red finger-marks burned into her skin by morning. At sixteen, she dreamed of being branded by a Devil-like figure, and woke with a blazing handprint on her chest that lasted for days. Night after night, the basement echoed with the scrape of unseen shovels across concrete. Jessica saw a shadow figure step out of her closet, and later watched a black, shapeless smear bloom across the ceiling before vanishing. Most chilling of all was the slow creak of a phantom door — in a home that had only one real door. From Montana to Michigan, something unseen seemed determined to follow her… or had always been with her. This is a real ghost story of a haunting that refuses to let go — proof that some doors, once opened, never truly close. #TrueGhostStory #RealHaunting #HauntedMontana #HauntedMichigan #ParanormalActivity #ShadowFigure #PhantomDoor #DevilsHandprint #GhostStoriesPodcast #SupernaturalEncounters #LifetimeOfHaunting #ChillingTales Love real ghost stories?
