HELENA, Mont. — Some members of the Montana Congressional delegation have responded to President Donald Trump’s State of Union Address.

Rep. Troy Downing provided the following response in a press release:

“President Trump has accomplished more in one year than the previous administration could in four,” said Congressman Downing. “I’m proud to have worked alongside him with my Republican colleagues to deliver historic tax relief for families, workers, and businesses, secure our border, beat back inflation, and make everyday life more affordable for central and eastern Montanans. Here’s to three more years of the Golden Age.”

Rep. Ryan Zinke provided the following response in a press release:

“Damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead with the Trump America First Agenda. After years of rising prices and stagnant wages, the economy is moving forward. Inflation is down 2 percent, GDP is up 5 percent, retirement accounts are growing, and American families are keeping more of their hard-earned paychecks. Gas prices dropped to $2.25 a gallon in Montana. The border is secure after years of chaos, with law enforcement empowered to do their jobs and keep our communities safe. The Trump doctrine is in full effect, our enemies once again fear us, and our allies understand we all must bear the burden in the fight for freedom.

In just one year, President Donald Trump and the Republican Congress have restored energy independence, strengthened our military, secured our borders, and put more money back in your pocket. Tonight, POTUS laid out why America is back, and we are just getting started.”

Sen. Steve Daines posted the following response on X:

Gov. Greg Gianforte provided the following response in a press release:

“Every day, President Trump is delivering on his promises and reversing the disastrous effects of Biden-era policies. By bringing down costs, unleashing the economy, and securing the border, he’s made it clear that our nation’s best days are still to come.

“President Trump isn’t just leading at the federal level, he’s empowering states and Republican governors to help make life more affordable for all Americans. He’s prevented the largest income tax hike in American history, lowered the costs of prescription drugs with Trump Rx, and is bringing the American dream into greater reach.

“Republican governors look forward to working alongside President Trump to keep delivering for the American people, who were ignored for far too long by the Biden Administration. With a partner like President Trump back in The White House, we’ll continue to work as a team to help make America’s future even brighter.”

“That’s why I’m here… I make a memory a day.” Paramount+ has debuted their main official trailer for the series titled The Madison, the next follow-up to the mega hit “Yellowstone” from Taylor Sheridan. It’s not a direct continuation but follows through with another story of families out on the range. This launches for streaming starting in March to watch. A heartfelt study of grief & human connection following a New York City family in the Madison River valley of central Montana. A big city family’s life unravels after a tragedy, as they process grief while vacationing out in rural Montana, exploring human connection amidst profound sorrow. From Taylor Sheridan – starring Michelle Pfeiffer & Kurt Russell as the leads. The Madison is Sheridan’s most intimate work to date, an emotional series set across two distinct worlds – the beautiful landscape of Montana and the vibrant energy of Manhattan – as it examines ties that bind families together. The full cast also includes Patrick J. Adams, Elle Chapman, Matthew Fox, Beau Garrett, Amiah Miller, Ben Schnetzer, Kevin Zegers, Rebecca Spence, Alaina Pollack, & Danielle Vasinova. As beautiful and wholesome as this seems, it also looks like Trad Wives: The Series with all these women living large on this lovely ranch.

Here’s the full official trailer (+ new poster) for Paramount+’s series The Madison, direct from YouTube:
