ICE just tackled a Native American man in California. His ancestors were here 12,000 years ago. ICE says he doesn’t belong. Where the hell do you deport someone from their own homeland? This isn’t enforcement—it’s ethnic cleansing in a uniform.

in Alaska the oil companies said over and over again if they don’t get fiscally irresponsible tax credits they’ll leave so we always gave them irresponsible tax credits which hugely boosted their balance sheet reserves value and then they sold their AK to the worst person they knew

This is wrong. We need a governor who fulfills constitutional obligations to the children of Alaska and parents who might be living paycheck to paycheck.

I remember that the local consensus from the tribal villages was a "bad idea." Do not ship through the Arctic. Oh, wait, they are brown skinned. It isn't necessary to listen to their wisdom. Thousands of years of living there. It sounds like a great plan.

I watched this year, and I agree. It showed me that leadership and compromise can move democracy forward. I really appreciate you, Senator Tobin, for the revival of spirit I feel these days.

For 20 in Alaska, I chose to teach students in remote villages. Much of it was golden. My housing was subpar. Blessed with the best unit, I felt lucky. Parents, kids, and staff knew about the LIST of school renovations. And where we were on it. Not once did I hear, "WISH WE HAD A charter school. "

Thanks for your vote of confidence…I guess?! Unlike you, I’d actually be focused on the American people—the issues they’re facing, making sure folks have healthcare, and consulting with Congress before dropping bombs on another country.

I pressed Trump's CDC nominee on how NONE of RFK Jr.'s vaccine advisory committee appointees have been properly vetted, and I raised how RFK Jr. is pushing dangerous disinformation & policies already undermining access to vaccines. We have to keep pushing until science & sanity are restored.
