  • No Time for Neutral: Investigating Helena, Passports, and Jeremy Carl
    Feb 18 2026

    Jorgia and Andy break down the SAVE Act and why it threatens your right to vote - if you're married and changed your name, this is for you! The pair gets into Gov. Gianforte and AG Knudsen's latest hypocritical stunt (Spoiler: They're suing the city of Helena for not cooperating with ICE) and explain what's going on with Jeremy Carl, a white nationalist Montanan whose power can be traced back to three people -- Zinke, Gianforte, and Daines.

  • No Time for Neutral: Voter Info For Sale + DHS Funding Fight
    Feb 5 2026

    Jorgia and Andy break down Secretary Jacobsen's latest move to cleanse Montana's voter rolls. She's providing confidential information like SSNs and driver's license numbers with the intent of removing "ineligible people" from the rolls. Check your voter registration and give her a call to let her know this won't slide: 406-444-2034.

    They also break down the appropriations fight in Congress, Democrats' demands to hold ICE accountable, and Montana Democrats' day of solidarity in Minneapolis. Plus, some statistics for your week!

    *NOTE: This episode was filmed prior to MTFP breaking the story that Secretary Jacobsen did in fact share Montanans' confidential voter information with the federal government -- their newest attempt at voter suppression. All speculation in this episode was made before this knowledge was public.

  • No Time for Neutral: Greenland, Funding the Government, and Postcards
    Jan 22 2026

    Jorgia and Andy lay it out in the simplest of terms: Montanans don't want Greenland. And they don't want another government shutdown either. But yet, Montana's delegation is seemingly doing nothing on either front -- give them a call!

    Plus, more on the release of the Epstein Files (or lack thereof). They also break down the latest news on Secretary Jacobsen's "election security" postcard that cost taxpayers $197,000.
