Because they'd never heard of the 2008 Recovery Rebate, the 2021 COVID stimulus program, 2023 state stimulus programs in AL, AZ, CA, CO, GA, MA, ME, MI, MN, MT, NM, NY, PA, SC, and VA, or the Alaska PFD?

Everyone is scrambling for exemptions - and those who are “connected” to MAGA or the oligarch class will get them. So we really aren’t all in it.

Ok. So 1000s of federal jobs. The FAA. Energy projects & major grants. Now the USPS. Basically all the interests of the whole state at risk. Let’s play “what will it finally take for AK’s congressional delegation to stop bowing to a fake king & represent us, their constituents, aka their employers?”

I heard the NEA is only considering proposals related to 1776 & the USA’s 250th birthday & I was feeling intensely patriotic, so I’m printing these really big posters inspired directly by the Founding Fathers The cut was carved from the masthead of a 19th century newspaper

We will have to help friends and neighbors 1) make sure they have the right ID, 2) make sure they are registered to vote, and 3) get to polling places and drop boxes. Since elections are run by the states, start asking your state now how they will run fair elections if the USPS is compromised.

We really do have enough to be concerned about that the “another plane crash” theme is a distraction.

Cuts throughout Alaska, many in small towns where the impact to local economies will be severe. With millions of tourists scheduled to arrive starting in less than three months, our national parks will not be ready. (Paywall; sorry!) www.adn.com/politics/202...

That’s 17 families in Juneau who no longer have money for rent and food. And 1.7 million cruise ship passengers who won’t be able to visit one of Juneau’s attractions.

“local history” - you mean about Alaska’s indigenous people who have survived in the Arctic for 10,000 years?

I figure that’s their reemployment plan for federal workers. Insert one of Elon’s chips in their brains and reprogram them as housekeepers and fruit pickers.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

I live in Alaska. Ben's nifty site shows that 6% of our population is federal workers. If half of those 22,000 people lose their jobs, that's 10,000 houses on the market in a state with a very fragile economy. And 10,000 families that will most likely need to leave Alaska to survive.

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: I’ll say this again: download all your SF-50s, performance evals, and your eOPF. Now. Print hard copies. And make sure you file an informal grievance with your supervisor within 15 days of any adverse action. Here is a template: www.muellershewrote.com/p/informal-g...

What will oligarchs do when other countries don’t allow US citizens to visit? Whether it’s tariffs, or bird flu, or vax status , or threats of invasion. Are they content to jet around the US for their fab vacations?

When will the rest of the tech billionaires wake up and realize that Elon Musk is not going to share the spoils with them? He’s got access to their federal contracts, competitive information, regulators and customers. Front row seats at the inauguration may be the only benefit they ever get.

FBI hearing has hit a snag. DOJ is unable to say whether anyone in the department has already disseminated to outsiders the info about FBI agents who worked on Jan. 6 case. DOJ lawyer says he doesn't "have reason to believe" that has happened but can't assure it.
