Renovating rather than rebuilding Inlet View Elementary would have provided $25 mill to Anchorage School District. See the heartbreaking linked article about ASD cuts. #Anchorage #Alaska

Red staters! You too should request a town hall. This one was not in person yet it was very helpful to hear @lisamurkowski.bsky.social ‘s perspective on what can be done.

On Sen Murkowski's town hall a caller is worried about Anchorage burning up due to very little snow this winter and cuts in federal firefighters. Sen Murkowski says there's an "urgency" to get firefighters back. Putting this out there so there's a record in case something awful like this happens!

@lisamurkowski.bsky.social currently doing a tele town hall (5-6 pm, 2/19). All those in red states should be asking for an in person or tele town hall so our elected officials can hear and respond to our many concerns, especially about DOGE.

Really good, clear-eyed reporting by the Empire on Begich’s sham of a town hall. #akleg www.juneauempire.com/news/this-is...

Anyone moving their retirement funds to cash because they are afraid of a stock market crash? I’m trying to decide what to do. #retirement

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

Say it over and over again. There was no landslide victory. No mandate for what they are doing. Trump disowned Project 2025 so voters thought it wasn't relevant. @newrepublic.com

Great protest in Anchorage, Alaska in front of City Hall. And there are two other protests going on in the city simultaneously! People lining both sides of the street…

Mass firings of federal workers have begun — hitting NOAA, IHS, VA and more. In Alaska, more than 1,000 jobs and $88 million in wages are on the line. One union leader calls it a "Valentine’s Day massacre on feds."

Hey red staters! 9 of us met with Sen. Murkowski’s state director in Anchorage. We were diverse: ex-fed, small business, Alaska Natives, persons of faith. We asked for a field hearing on DOGE in AK (yes, Senators can do that) and town halls throughout the state. This is easy and worthwhile.

From the Alaska DOR Revenue Sources Book Fall 2024: for FY24 - of the state's $16.3 bill in revenue, 37% is from the fed govt, 37% is from Permanent Fund investments & 18% (and declining) is from petroleum. AK needs more revenue b/c the feds are unreliable under Trump! #akleg

As an environmentalist I'm thrilled that @deepseek.bsky.social will use less energy in its operations. DeepSeek challenges Trump's "energy dominance" rhetoric because there will be much less (no?) need for new energy production in the US to support AI.

Hey #akleg! Alaska can’t rely on the federal government or declining oil revenue anymore. It’s essential for the state to develop a reasonable and fair tax structure including fixing SB 21 and the Hilcorp tax loophole. Help us before the state truly goes broke!

Senator Murkowski and Senator Sullivan should both uphold the standards we have in Alaska. Pete Hegseth is not fit or qualified to lead our military. Vote no.

Property insurance claims can be just as nasty and stressful as health insurance claims -- lost sleep, couldn't spend money for 1/2 year because I didn't know what would be covered, winter coming to Alaska, etc. #treefellonmyhouse #fixtheinsuranceindustry

Okay Alaskans/ #AlaskaSky, this seems like a doable organizing goal: get Sen. Murkowski to oppose Gaetz’s nomination & convince at least a few others in her party to do the same. Can we all agree to rally in this?
