THREAD: In a phone call with me today, @SteveDaines recounted the tense moments in the Capitol yesterday, and said it's time for Americans to come together and move forward. He details the evacuation of the Senate and called the images of rioters on the floor heartbreaking.
He told me he doesn't think talks of impeachment are helpful. When asked if he believes President Trump incited the violence, Sen. Daines said there's been dangerous rhetoric from all sides and we need to take the temperature down.
He said he wanted to set the record straight that he never said the election was stolen. I asked about the text message sent by his campaign after the election, and he said that came from the campaign arm and he doesn't always see those things go out.

Happening now: @VP calls joint session of Congress to order.
No objections for Alabama or Alaska... but Arizona is next.
Objection for Arizona being recorded "on the ground they were not under all of the known circumstances regularly given."

🚨 🚨#BREAKING @GovernorBullock suing USPS and Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, saying the USPS didn't follow required procedures to make policy changes. He appears to be the first governor to make such a move, after multiple attorneys general filed suit in Aug. #mtnews #USPS
The suit says unlawful actions have directly harmed Montanans by "impeding the flow of mail, including medical prescriptions, replacement parts for farm machines, utility bills, stimulus checks, application materials, and other essential communications." #mtnews #USPS
The court filing specifically mentions our @NBCMontana reporting on leaked photos of disassembled sorting machines and removed collection boxes in Montana. It was filed in U.S. District Court in Great Falls just now. #mtnews #USPS

These are leaked photos sent to me by someone who wants to stay anonymous of what they say is a disassembled DBCS sorting machine in a MT USPS plant. I’m told the stackers are waiting to be sent to other facilities. #mtnews #USPS
My source says this is a disassembled AFCS100 in Missoula that is being discarded. It basically cancels stamps and faces mail. They say they are supposed to get an upgrade, but it’s unclear when. They worry their remaining machine will go down before it comes. #mtnews #usps
I've been reaching out daily to reps with USPS about boxes, machines and today reached out with new questions about the removals in 2009. Just received a response: #mtnews #USPS

I'm following up on MANY USPS-related questions after our story on collection box removals Friday. We were told it's common to remove or replace boxes with low density numbers. Today, I have reports from union leaders who raise questions about those density tests. #mtnews #USPS
Look at this letter leaked to me by a source who wants to stay anonymous. The writer says they were told not to count all mail in a density test done in the last year. They say they were only told to count mail with a tracking number, and to just give a best guess. #mtnews #USPS
Another union leader told me they heard the same thing happened in Billings. The letter writer attached another sheet of the boxes on their route, where they counted all mail Friday. I've marked the ones on the list to be removed with a yellow dot. #mtnews #USPS

🚨Clarifying an earlier tweet:
Just confirmed with the MT Postal Workers Union there are orders for 13 collection boxes to be removed just in Missoula. The direction came down in the mid-July. It's unclear how many have been removed already. Digging now. #mtnews #USPS Image
🚨The Montana Letter Carriers Union just confirmed the removal of 13 in Missoula, 9 in Bozeman, and orders to remove 3 in Lewistown and 30 in Billings. #mtnews #USPS
Union: "At first management said they were just removing double boxes... when fact checked and that was incorrect, they said they were not used much. In the past they have done density tests and one might be removed or the location changed. 30 in Billings is massive." #mtnews
