Contact those US Senators who voted for the Cabinet picks that are decimating federal programs in Alaska: Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan: 202-224-3121
I know i know, we are rejoicing the FAFO leopards eating faces thing, but if it empowers some Rs to finally stand up, as I'm sure some want to, then this might help.
What did they expect was going to happen when they voted for the twice impeached convicted felon who was telling everyone Haitians were eating peoples pets, who posted a 1000 page manifesto of what was going to be done if elected?
Please don't stop. These puppets at some point have to understand that supporting a low-life imbecile felon orange pile of shit has serious consequences.
Didn’t Alaska vote Republican. They won and the Trump administration has a mandate from the people to cut government programs. I don’t understand Alaska’s problem
I received an email from the U of Ca that the current budget, not next year, the one that we are in, has been cut by 500 million dollars due to Fed cuts. That is one research university’s loss. This is not recoverable. Every facet of American life will be impacted. It is our loss. Tragic.
Oh no not a "dire warning" isn't this what they wanted? Help me understand, are these people stupid or just full of greed or hatefulness' to see what was coming?
A majority of rural peeps voted for Trump. This is going to devastate their communities and they either are devoid of empathy and compassion or don’t have the critical thinking skills to fully understand the implications. Quite possibly both.
I hate how the letter still presents this as something the federal gov’t is doing to the ppl of Alaska as opposed to something Donald Trump is allowing Elon Musk to do.
Another case in point on Civil ignorance. JC, R’s, can’t handle your own lies and manipulations? Face the consequences. Explain yourselves to all the ppl you deceived!
Sorry Alaska Putin wants it back and tRump is going to make you all Russians. He will not protect you...He doesn't care about you he only wanted your votes. You were warned!
I'm taking a correspondence course on how to be a successful highwayman.

They wanted all of this disaster because they stupidly believed they would be spared any pain. It was always meant to happen to anyone else but them. They hoped people would suffer when they backed trump, and now they get to experience it personally. Good for them.
It's sad that it's true.
Trump might actually order a "demilitarized zone" inside Alaska instead of trying to reclaim it too like the coward he is. He's the biggest traitor to his own country and the biggest traitor against the free world
We are all fucked, but most red states are extra fucked as they take in more fed dollars than they contribute. And remember, Alaska has oil money. What the hell is Oklahoma going to do?
My retired aunt is a hardcore Maga in SW Oklahoma. She just learned the Lawton SSA office will be closing. The next closest office is an hour away in Chickasha and will be horribly understaffed for the region. She can barely drive now. She is beside herself. It is so sad to watch.
Most everything can be done online. But a lot of people.... and I mean a LOT.... do not do so. And they shouldn't be forced to.
Removing SS offices fucks over a lot of folks, there's no reason for it since it's one of the few parts of the government that actually runs pretty damn well.
We have to unite ourselves for the common good, not turn our backs on people. I get the rage. But we don’t have time for that emotion. We need MAGA lovers in our coalition, folks, if we are going to save this country.
As much fun as it is to rant, this is what the truth will be. People who believed the grift, or just didn't bother knowing otherwise, suffering. Horribly. People are going to starve. People will die from a lack of healthcare. Hell, they already are in states that banned abortion. Sad times.
Alaska runs on “subsidized subsistence”, a culture of individual self-reliance supported by a massive platform of government funding, and losing that platform is an existential threat to Alaska Republicans.
Trump & co are selling the US for parts. Those gold visas he's advertising will bring in wealthy buyers to scoop up all the forfeited lands and properties of US farmers and landowners, not to mention pubic lands removed from federal protection. Serfs and nobles.
Yes Thank you!. I pointed this out on another social media account. Just as Saudis and rich Chinese moguls have done... they'll probably want to take over the mega- rental property owners as well.
Attended a public Q&A with three AL State House Repubs this week. All said our concerns were federal and out of their hands. I’ll be sending them this AK letter today.
Donald Trump is a clear and present danger to the health, safety and well-being of our country and the people. Especially to us working class and poor people. Trump does not give a damn about us. Trump only cares about himself and his greedy despicable wealthy friends. Disgraceful! Sickening...🤮
Alaska Republicans. "Now wait a gosh darn minute! We hate Sochulism as much as Elon does....but these are White People we're talking about here"!!! Hey..they'll be fine. I watch "Life Below Zero".
Fuck them. This is what they were warned about and did not take it seriously. Hope they realise trump fucked them and does not care about these people.
I seriously would love to have a smart town hall with a good moderator to understand exactly why these people did not believe what Trump & Musk said, and what was in Project 2025. I have not had one moment of surprise so far. You can find a direct quote or page number for every action.

the coalitions in the Alaska legislature are super chaotic. the legislative leaders writing this letter represent majority caucuses consisting of all the Ds, some Rs, and (in the House) all the independents.
Yes this is right. There are more Rs in both houses, but the normal Rs don’t get along with the MAGA Rs so the normal Rs caucus with the Dems, giving the Dems formal control of both legislative houses.
I think the coalitions started before Alaska introduced RCV, but apparently RCV has made them easier to sustain by making it harder to primary out Republican coalition members
In the East we get this myth of the Rugged Individualism of the West, and then we go there, and find communal water distribution in dry places, where Govt owns land but lets Ranchers use it, just like their own, where a weird Rural Welfare for the Rich seems the main occupation.

What did they expect?
Everything he had made undeniably clear in his first term: they ignored that. And voted for him.

Well, better luck in 2029.
Hopefully they stocked up for a long winter until then.
Let them enjoy the fruits of their labor.

(also: whoa! *the* Ivan Moore! *gushes*)
Also they’re so removed from things they’re kind of doing their own thing there. Not buying into the two party us v them as much.
They spent a significant part of their year in true survival mode and needing to get along. Much more so than the lower 48.
We’ve reached the “find out” part. Wait until Musk comes for the Alaska Oil fund and steals those monthly welfare checks all Alaskans get…
With this regime, I have believe we can get there before September! WINNING!
Did you have you read in an ice hole? What did you think your stupid party was going to do?
