Maybe Trump appointees should start carrying those little copies of the constitution around with them. And a dictionary. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/20/u...

In a quick vote on the penultimate day of the legislative session, the Alaska Legislature has successfully overrode Gov. Mike Dunleavy's veto of a broadly popular public education bill. The 46-11 vote means HB57 will become law. (That's also enough to override a line-item budget veto.) #akleg

Gov. Mike Dunleavy has vetoed House Bill 57, the bipartisan education funding bill that passed the Legislature with a combined 48-11 vote this session. It's his third veto of a public school funding bill. He writes there's "no evidence" funding schools matters. #akleg

Many people think solar and wind won't be able to keep the grid stable because they lack "inertia". I think solar, wind and batteries will do a BETTER job and I think you can explain it thus: - the old grid is a record player - the new grid a digital player 🧵

For over half a century, the National Weather Service has operated 24/7. But after the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency pushed to shrink the federal workforce, that’s no longer possible in parts of the country.

45°F and light S breeze at 9:30am on Keystone Ridge. No precip since 6May and RH still >30% at mid day. Ruby-crowned kinglet singing up a storm. Clearing out icestorm deadfall and ladder fuels. Many spruce broke in half creating new ladder fuel as the tops dangle to the ground. #myalaskawx #firewise

Most people think that the federal hiring freeze just meant no new hires; but it also meant no internal movement. The hiring freeze meant that someone could not go from a fully staffed office to an understaffed office - until now. They could not even move between positions at the same office.

🧵 It's #akleg joint confirmation session day! 🧵 It's an annual marathon session where legislators will take up the governor's appointments. It'll be interesting to see how the Board of Regents appointments go. Several legislators were none too pleased with them preemptively censoring "DEI" stuff.

The Alaska Senate voted 9-11 NOT to remove the citation honoring Suzanne Downing from the agenda (like the House did last week). Also included in their citations today is one for the late Dan Fagan. #akleg

We wrote a letter to Sen Sullivan in response to the many public employees fired and programs terminated within NOAA and the NWS and the increased risk to Alaskans. Ironically, Sullivan defended the reckless acts of the president quoting the “Take Care Clause” of the constitution. 🙄

42°F with high thin clouds and a 7 mph NE breeze on Keystone Ridge at 9:30am. Snow is melting out in the woods. Collected 1500 gallons of roof water, more than the usual amount of solids (dust?) remained. #myalaskawx

Grifter in Chief. I don’t care about Trump, but the culture of bribes, hidden lagniappes, and acceptable corruption will sink deep into the American culture and fester. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/05...

Staffers at the Energy Information Administration said they believe changes were made to their Energy Outlook report out of fear that spotlighting unwelcome findings would make the agency a Trump target. “There was a concern that any narrative we put out would be seen as ideological.”

They didn’t want to wear masks during COVID to show the world how tough & pro-freedom they were & here they are now hiding their faces like the cowards they are because they don’t want the world to know they are now & always have been N-zi Stanning sociopaths with a badge & a government paycheck.

FAIRBANKS BOROUGH BUDGET LIVE THREAD: We’re a few minutes from getting underway in Fairbanks. No public testimony at this meeting, just Assembly debate and votes on the budget. But members of the public are allowed to watch, and some Mary Siah advocates brought signs. #fbxgov
