For a state with only two representatives to go along with its two senators, #Montana has had a ridiculous surge in breaking news the last few hours and days about its members of Congress. Much of that news seems to be awful and underhanded.

Montana GOP Senate candidate #Tim #Sheehy touts his business.
-- It’s losing millions.As he campaigns in one of the nation’s most competitive U.S. Senate races, #Montana Republican #Tim #Sheehy recounts how he
started an aerial firefighting business in his barn
and built it into a publicly traded company on the front lines of increasingly dangerous wildfires.
“That’s a success story,” he said in a June television interview.
Reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in recent months tell💥 a different story 💥about Bridger Aerospace, known for its “Super Scooper” planes that can remove up to 1,400 gallons at a time from a body of water to dump on a nearby wildfire.
Bridger is facing a cash crunch so dire that 🔸there is “substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue,” 🔸according to public filings that show 👉 the company lost $77.4 million last year and $20.1 million in the first three months of 2024.🔷Several directors have left, including one who flagged concerns about internal auditing, as an unusually slow wildfire season in 2023 put the company at risk of defaulting on its debt. ♦️And then last month, Sheehy said he couldn’t devote enough time to running the company and resigned
— a move that Bridger, which had promoted his key role in “every facet” of the business, previously said would happen if he was elected to the Senate.⭐️“Montana will always come first for me
– and I will take on anyone, from any party, to defend our state,”
#Jon #Tester said in a statement.“I’m honored to have the support of Montana Republicans who have stood with me to fight for our veterans, protect our freedoms, and keep the government out of our personal lives.”

Sen. #Jon #Tester (D-Mont.) is locked in a tight race in Montana as former President Trump boasts a wide lead over Vice President Harris in the state, polling shows.
A new Emerson College Polling/The Hill survey puts Trump-backed Republican #Tim #Sheehy with a 2-point lead over Tester, 48 percent to 46 percent. Another 5 percent were undecided.
♦️Tester is one of the most vulnerable incumbents this cycle, ♦️a rare Democrat holding office in a state Biden lost back in 2020, and 💥his race could determine which party ends up controlling the upper chamber.The poll also marks a shift from March, when the same pollster found Tester up by 2 points over his Republican challenger.
Because the gap falls 🔸within the survey’s 3-point margin of error, 🔸the race remains a potential tie between the two Senate race rivals.
This week, Tester launched a
🌟“Republicans for Tester” 🌟group to rally support from across the aisle as he braces for a competitive November contest.At the top of the ticket, Trump is a whopping 15 percentage points ahead of Harris, but the vice president’s 40 percent support is a notable 5-point improvement from the 35 percent President Biden garnered back in March.

Montana GOP Senate candidate says he lied to ranger about gunshot wound in 2015
#Tim #Sheehy, a former Navy SEAL who is the #Republican candidate in a U.S. Senate race in #Montana that could determine control of the chamber,
has cited a gunshot wound that he said left a bullet in his right arm as evidence of his toughness.
“I got thick skin — though it’s not thick enough. I have a bullet stuck in this arm still from Afghanistan,” Sheehy said in a video of a December campaign event posted on social media, pointing to his right forearm.
It was one of several #inconsistent #accounts Sheehy has shared about being shot while deployed.And in October 2015, more than a year after he left active duty, he told a different story.
After a family visit to Montana’s Glacier National Park, he told a National Park Service ranger that he accidentally #shot #himself in the right arm that day when his Colt .45 revolver fell and discharged while he was loading his vehicle in the park.The self-inflicted gunshot left a bullet lodged in Sheehy’s right forearm, according to the written description accompanying the federal citation that the ranger, a federal law enforcement officer, gave Sheehy for illegally discharging his weapon in a national park.
The citation said the description was based on Sheehy’s telling of events.
Asked this week about the citation, which has not been previously reported, Sheehy told The Washington Post that the statement he gave the ranger was a lie
