1. Bozeman men sentenced to prison for trafficking meth from Las Vegas (crweworld.com) — Two Bozeman men were sentenced to seven and fifteen years in federal prison for repeatedly trafficking meth from Las Vegas to Montana and selling it in Gallatin County. Law enforcement tracked their trips, seized drugs and a firearm, and detailed multiple runs that funneled significant meth into the Bozeman area before the Missouri River Drug Task Force and FBI shut the operation down.
   

2. Downing drops a sanctuary city bill (montanafreepress.org) — Bozeman residents are directly mentioned as local police emphasize public safety over immigration enforcement, even as Rep. Troy Downing pushes a federal bill targeting so‑called sanctuary cities. The piece also tracks Bozeman-area legislative races, including Becky Edwards stepping into House District 57 and the potential for a nearby Senate seat to flip, alongside a broader fight over Montana term limits.
   

3. Campaign document, "David E. Folsom Vindicated" (montana.edu) — Bozeman readers can access a historic campaign document, "David E. Folsom Vindicated," through the Montana State University Library's digital collections. The listing explains copyright responsibilities, fair-use guidelines, and MSU's rules for using AI tools with these materials, emphasizing noncommercial educational and research purposes for anyone exploring local history online.
   

4. MSU beats Butler 51-24 in home opener (nbcmontana.com) — Montana State fans in Bozeman saw a dominant home opener as the Bobcats rolled past Butler 51–24, powered by big plays from Jabez Woods, Justin Lamson, and Adam Jones. The defense held Butler's offense in check while MSU piled up over 300 passing yards, before looking ahead to a road test at Nevada next weekend.
