Sorting out whoâs upset with whom over the recent Montana bison management moves is about as easy as herding buffalo.
Gov. Greg Gianforte on Friday warned the U.S. Department of Interior that a future bison transplant to the Charles M. Russell Wildlife Refuge in northeast Montana should be a state decision. But the federal government hasnât announced any plans for such a reintroduction.

When President Joe Biden makes his first address to the joint session of Congress on Wednesday, it will look a lot different than speeches made by his predecessors.

COVID-19 precautions are the main reason why Biden s speech will come near his 100th day in office after receiving the invitation to do so from Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi on April 13. It will be the first time a president will do the annual address in the month of April and the latest in the year since former President Calvin Coolidge in December 1923.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Tuesday that there will be no designated survivor during President Biden s address before the joint session of Congress, since most of the Cabinet won t attend.
