Tuned into joint education hearing in #akleg to catch local representatives and caught the great @markspringer.bsky.social "We are sacrificing our kids to the oil companies" 🗣️🗣️🗣️

This is another example of people now in decision-making positions who have no understanding of the complex and good work government agencies, like the FAA, are involved in.

Scenario 1: AK has to pick up $2.5b tab. Scenario 2: $6b lost federal dollars into the economy, 71k Alaskans losing access to primary care. #akleg www.kff.org/medicaid/iss...

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

Devastating. Hard to overstate how bad this FIRST STEP is. Here in Alaska, there is an outsized proportion of federal workers in their probationary period. Alaska is often the first stop in a career in federal service and typically has a large fraction of probationary workers.

Pam Bondi is disbanding the Foreign Influence Task Force - the FBI team that is charged with combatting foreign meddling in US elections. Worth asking how this makes us more safe in any way, shape, or form.

Is the Iditarod really thinking about switching to a completely untested route less than a month before the start? 🤷🏻‍♂️ Fairbanks is right here, folks… our snow conditions are great.

I'm heartened to see a legislative effort underway for Congress to exercise its constitutional authority. For a lot of reasons, but also because I want to drive down to Juneau for folk fest. www.coons.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

I really don’t think it’s happenstance that pretty much every remaining institutional safeguard broke down within 15 years of Citizens United

The government has no right to decide what name or nickname your child goes by in class. The government has no right to pick out what clothes your child wears to school. This is not just an attack on trans children. It's an attack on personal choice. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/u...

This is helpful and really drives home that the actions taken by Trump, left unchallenged, will destroy our local University and large swaths of our local economy.

If you’re in the US and you’d like to know what projects and vital services federal grants currently fund in your state, you can search here: www.usaspending.gov And you can find the contact information for your elected representatives here: www.usa.gov/elected-offi... They need to hear from you.

Happening now(ish) House transportation will hear testimony from FAST planning director Jackson Fox. This should be interesting given the recent dust ups around Federal highway funding and the state DOT (STIP) as well as recent executive orders by Trump. #akleg player.vimeo.com/video/104965...

15 years ago, the Supreme Court decided that corporations were people. Ever since, dark money and corporate interference has defined our elections. Overturn Citizens United. Give elections back to voters.

Thousands of workers across the state have had their retirement contributions delayed during a period of significant market upswing. These workers deserve more transparency than Dunleavy's administration is providing! #akleg #akgov

I'm on vacation, so I have early returns from next year. I'm happy to report 2025 is fantastic. Colorful explosions, fried chicken and hints of jasmine.
