Eternally hopeful that Alaska will protect the land and waters and fend off zealots at the polls.

I need this to happen.

Alaska may keep its ranked choice voting after all. The Repeal measure just slipped behind in the latest batch of ballots counted. Repeal is now trailing by 192 votes elections.alaska.gov/results/24GENR…

Wow. The No on 2 just passed it's benchmarks in the latest ballot drop. These ballots are non-Juneau Southeast, the Southern Kenai, and the Bush — mostly areas where No on 2 was already winning. Harris +1 Peltola +13 Keep RCV +13 Yes now leads by just 900. No is now favored.

Well, this sucks. Robert F Kennedy, Jr. in charge of Indian Health Services in Alaska.

As the Secretary of Health and Human Service, Robert F Kennedy Jr would be over Indian Health Services the federal program through which many Native Americans access health care.

It didn’t take long for @SenDanSullivan to fall in line.

The combo of Mike Waltz and Pete Hegseth leading defense/national security policy in the new Trump administration is going to be powerful. Both are focused on lethality, peace through strength, and going after our real adversaries.

Our new Defense Secretary has Christian Nationalist tattoos.

Yesterday Trump announced he's nominating Pete Hegseth as his Secretary of Defense. Hegseth's a prominent Fox News personality & veterans advocate, but he also has strong ties to the Christian far right that I've not seen fully exposed yet. Here's a thread w/ receipts... 1/

I wonder what Mr. “Military is my brand” Sullivan has to say.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski let out a “wow” when asked about Trump’s pick of Pete Hegseth for secretary of defense. She says she’s surprised because Hegseth’s name wasn’t on any list of who’s under consideration. Doesn’t know if he would have a tough time getting confirmed.

People said this guy would do a lot of crazy shit but nobody had “reparations for the whites” on their MAGA bingo card

Trump is about to pay reparations to white people who have suffered “racial discrimination” due to “diversity initiatives” in higher education. This exactly why ideas such as “black people can be racist toward whites” have to be shut down. They’re about to institutionalize that.

This too builds on Trump 1.0, when Office of Civil Rights in HHS was reinvented as protection of white Christian rights, under lead of Opus Dei-adjacent far-right Catholic Roger Severino.

Trump announces reparations for white people. He says he will ask the Justice Department to penalize colleges that consider diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and fine them so he can pay “restitution” to white people who he considers the real victims of racial discrimination.

To recap, the Republican Party has opposed: -Paid sick leave -Paid family & medical leave -Universal childcare -Universal pre-K -Tax increases on corporations & the rich -The expanded Child Tax Credit -Student debt relief Doesn't sound like the party of the working class to me.

-Violent crime is down. -Inflation has been reigned in (and we did better than most countries) -All-time market highs -Border crossings are down. But many don’t *feel* those things are true. That’s an (intentional) info gap. When they knew, it made a big difference.
