Senator Daines Says General Suleimani Was a “War Criminal,” Praises US Airstrike
According to US Senator Steve Daines, Qasem Suleimani posed an “imminent threat” to American lives. In an interview with KGVO News, Daines spoke about the US Military’s decision to strike down the prominent Iranian general, and the chain of events that followed.

Steve Daines’ pro-Second Amendment bill aims to protect law-abiding gun owners taking firearms across state lines
Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont., introduced a pro-Second Amendment bill to the Senate last month aimed at easing restrictions on gun owners transporting their firearms across state lines. The bill would reform the Firearm Owners Protection Act (FOPA), clarifying the term “transport” to include “staying in temporary lodging overnight, stopping for food, fuel, vehicle maintenance, an emergency, medical treatment, and any other activity incidental.” Daines said Americans should not be afraid to transport their legally owned firearms. “This is about protecting law-abiding gun owners and their constitutional right to safely transport their firearms,” he told Fox News. “Montanans want their Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms protected, and that’s what I’m fighting for.” The bill would

Sens. Daines, Braun: Speaker Pelosi, send impeachment articles to Senate in 25 days or end this partisan game
Nearly three weeks ago, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and her liberal Democratic Party cohorts voted to impeach President Trump. But rather than fulfill their constitutional duty and send the articles of impeachment to the Senate, House Democrats have decided to play more partisan games. Every step of the way, Democrats like House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff warned that President Trump is a “clear and present danger” to democracy who must be removed now. New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez urged her fellow Democrats to “move quite quickly” to impeach President Trump because the integrity of the 2020 election was

Montana delegation reacts to U.S. airstrike on Iran general
There was no debate among Montana’s Congressional delegation Friday about Qassem Soleimani being an enemy of the state. But, there is a split over whether lawmakers should have been consulted about the drone strike killing the Iran general. A U.S. air strike in Iraq killed Soleimani Thursday night. Iran called the general’s death an act of war and vowed revenge. Only a few lawmakers learned ahead of time that President Donald Trump had ordered the air strike. “Soleimani was an evil terrorist who killed hundreds of Americans. Iran’s Quds Force was mistaken not to take warnings from the President seriously,”
