Breaking News! Code: Bonkers! El Nino continues to spike towards an all-time record high anomaly, with the Nino 3.4 sea surface temperature more than 2.6°C above the 1991-2020 baseline as of August 4th, and more than 1.0C° above the previous August 4th record set in 1997.

"Tom is an honest and trusted broker who, while sticking to his principles, is known for shepherding across-the-aisle legislation for the betterment of all Alaskans" - State Rep. Andy Josephson

Listen to this candidate! The nation needs 100 senators with this passion, reasoning, and expertise. Michigan, the rest of us are counting on you to hear thru all the negative campaigning from AIPAC and all the corporate PAC lies about him and put Abdul El-Sayed in the US Senate.

As long as you keep your mind open to learning new things, you can know better, and you can do better. I'm glad I'm not the exact same person I was back then. Some stuff was good, but some not so good. I want my mind to age like fine wine, not like milk.

Fran Ulmer is among the best of the best Alaskan public servants.

Tom Begich for Alaska@tombegichforalaska.bsky.social · 2w ago

Honored to earn the endorsement of former Lt. Governor Fran Ulmer. Her decades of service to Alaska as lieutenant governor, mayor of Juneau, state representative, and UAA Chancellor have made a lasting impact. Thank you, Fran, for your support.

I can’t imagine why the Trump admin wouldn’t want a public school educated, turban wearing Sikh kid to win a contest about the US Constitution and visit the White House. 🙃

Asha Rangappa@asharangappa.bsky.social · 2w ago

This story is indeed insane. They literally *discounted his correct answers* (on questions about the Constitution) so that a Trump supporting girl who wants to go to Hillsdale College could win $25K and be televised meeting Trump. So. Gross.

It was nothing but clouds for the last 15 minutes as we came into Anchorage. Some a little darker, some lighter. But #alaskaair pilot gave us a gentle landing.

So how to fight these ads? Get people to “Think who made and paid for this ad and why?“ Maybe post stickers with that every where. Make a short generic ad with that message and get it played after as many political ads as possible? Other ideas?

AIPAC and other outside groups have spent nearly $50 million in support of Haley Stevens in the Michigan Senate primary. They're among the biggest dark money spenders this year. Watch.

Great discussion. Much is about evolution of the news now that networks are corporate owned. Rise of independent news. Jan 6 truth gets Scott the most hate and threats. Comparisons of history and journalism.

Great discussion! Thought provoking

Woman behind the counter at Division of Elections in Anchorage said the ballots have been printed and mailed to overseas voters. The sample ballots online they sent leave Daniel J’s party blank and add “Incumbent” to Dan S. For details: whatdoino-steve.blogspot.com/2026/07/sile...

Saeed Jones@theferocity.bsky.social · 4w ago

Meta Glasses are like, a Cybertruck for your face.

This guy is a little too pleased with himself, but his point about giving ai scammers instructions that make them crazy seems like a way to resist. But it also uses up your own time and keeps your phone busy. Wondering what happens if you ask it to read the congressional record? Backwards.

monique d'hooghe ♿ they/she@moniquedhooghe.bsky.social · last mo.

They’re just mad they couldn’t find another Mary Peltola to put on the ballot. They cry conspiracy because that’s how they sabotage elections. They still claim Trump won in 2020. If there were any evidence they would have presented it in the hearings. www.juneauindependent.com/post/report-...

Good overview

The Alaska Current@thealaskacurrent.com · last mo.

COMMENTARY: Rather than relying on Alaska's own attorneys, the Division of Elections turned to a lawyer from a conservative Lower 48 firm to defend its decision to keep Dan J. Sullivan off the ballot.

The secrecy plus the coziness between AGDC and Glenfarne raises big red flags. Detailed, clearly written article: “lawmakers are negotiating a compromise that could come as early as the first week of July and as late as never.”

Henry@phrozen.com · last mo.

This is ridiculous nonsense. I’ve been tentatively onboard with the project until now. We are being robbed.

Court room for Daniel J. Sullivan hearing at 9:55 am is pretty empty.
