Dan Sullivan threatened healthcare for 1/3 of Alaskans and gutted the funding our rural hospitals and nursing homes rely on. And he can’t even face the caregivers and healthcare professionals he’s screwed over.

Opinion: I’m a caregiver. Sen. Dan Sullivan won’t answer my questions about Medicaid cuts.

Alaska families depend on Medicaid to care for children, seniors, veterans and people with disabilities, but the senator won’t meet with constituents to discuss it.

Trump Administration Is Undoing Plans to Boost Workplace Heat Protections www.nytimes.com/2026/08/01/c... This will adversely affect thousands of workers in California. Those folks who pick your vegetables & grapes for your wine will suffer especially as our summers get hotter & hotter! 🤬😡

The Biden administration took steps to shield workers from extreme temperatures. The Trump administration is taking a gentler approach with employers.

It is funny that this person thinks “immigrants defended the union while native born whites sought to destroy it in the name of slavery” is an argument against immigrants being Americans. This is precisely the point, nothing about being born here makes you better bsky.app/profile/aphc...

This is a factual sentence: Amid an outbreak of explosive diarrhea and with measles cases at a 35-year high, America’s top health official, who has an affinity for roadkill and guzzling raw milk, will soon start hosting a cooking show. My column, tragically: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

NEW: Under Bari Weiss, CBS News has shifted to the right to try to grab some of Fox News' audience. Not only have they failed to do that, but they've driven off so much of their core audience that CBS Mornings is now perilously close to getting beaten by Fox & Friends. zeteo.com/p/mamdani-de...

Since taking over CBS News last fall, Weiss has actively shifted the network to the right in an apparent effort to capture some of the conservative audience that regularly watches Fox. At the same time, she wants to appeal to the supposed “70% of the audience that identifies themselves as center-left to center-right,” as her boss David Ellison asserted after he purchased her anti-woke blog The Free Press. The problem is that her strategy appears to be driving an increasing number of CBS News’s core audience away while failing to attract any of Fox’s viewers. In fact, according to Nielsen data obtained by Zeteo, the news network’s weekday offerings are in danger of getting passed by Murdoch’s cable news programs head-to-head. During July, ‘CBS Mornings’ averaged just 1.623 million total viewers per day, compared to the 1.436 million that ‘Fox & Friends’ pulled in for the month. The gap between the shows, now at 13%, has narrowed considerably. When Weiss became the head of the network, ‘CBS Mornings’ held a 26% advantage over Fox’s morning program. July was the lowest-rated month in ‘CBS Mornings’ history. And while the summer months typically bring lower ratings for news shows, the gap between ‘CBS Mornings’ and ‘Fox & Friends’ is tighter than it was last July – when the CBS show held a 23% advantage. Additionally, ‘CBS Evening News’ is on track for its worst month since Weiss installed Tony Dokoupil as its anchor, averaging just 3.814 million total viewers a night. It is also the fourth consecutive month that the program has attracted fewer than 4 million viewers. When reached for comment, a CBS News spokesperson shared a Paramount press release boasting that ‘CBS Evening News’ was narrowly up 2% in total viewers compared to last year, which was the program’s worst July in history.
