Huh. At Friday’s cabinet meeting, Trump said Venezuelan oil would be refined right here in Alaska! Mmm. Interesting! Feels like he’s just making things up and lying tho.

Here’s a flag - Space Karen’s PAC is closely coordinating with outside groups, including Americans for Prosperity. Musk’s group plans to initially target Senate races in at least five states, including… #Alaska 🤮

A text chain revealed an #ICE agent referring to “tonks,” using a word reportedly derived from the sound an agent’s utility flashlight makes when hitting a migrant’s head. Not sure why MAGA hates it when I refer to ICE as Trump’s violent, racist, secret police force. It’s a true statement. #fuckice

Six weeks out of public view and Mitch McConnell’s next proof of life update includes a heartfelt statement about pork and mutton. Yep, it’s gonna be another one of those weeks.

Huh. Rep. Nick Begich needs the Speaker of the House flown in from Louisiana to fill a room in the Mat-Su. The venue is top secret until you surrender your contact info to a QR code for their data harvesting op and, presumably, to ensure attendees are ::checks notes:: “ALASKA FIRST PATRIOTS.” Weird.

News of former East Anchorage Assembly member Karen Bronga’s passing is public now. I am sure many will speak loftily of her kindness, dedication and the many contributions she made in furtherance of a better Anchorage. 1/2

Rummaging through Bernadatte Wilson's latest APOC report, it's pretty clear she's using a national conservative donor pipeline to fundraise. She pulled more than a thousand donations from Texas, 600-ish from both Florida and California, a couple hundred from Ohio, and fewer than 700 in Alaska. 1/3

Oh look, it’s U.S. Senator “Ohio” Dan Sullivan! In fairness to the event host, Anchorage Baptist Temple (Mountain City Church), the Confederate battle flag is technically part of American history, in the same way the iceberg is technically part of the Titanic’s story.

Huh. A reporter was attempting to ask Undemocratic Division of Elections Director Carol Beecher why Petersburg Dan Sullivan’s Republican Party affiliation was left off the ballot. Instead of answering, they put a hand in front of the camera, cuz transparency and stuffz.

Division of Undemocratic Elections Director Carol Beecher just confirmed at today's hearing that approximately 3,500 letters were sent to Alaskans, asking them to confirm their citizenship. According to Beecher, individuals who received such a letter had their voting status moved to "inactive."

Lt. Governor Nancy Dahlstrom is a no-show for today's presentation on candidate eligibility criteria before the Joint House Judiciary & State Affairs Committee. Crazy!

Serial contender Bill Walker's campaign is in a sad state. Of the $81k raised, $15k came from his own pocket, and $25k from his running mate. Walker's former AG, Craig Richards, who signed on to a SCOTUS brief with 15 other states fighting the right of gay people to marry, donated $10k. Messy!!

Holy hell. THE QUITTER is back! In a post on “X” about Ranked Choice Voting and the sham Save Act - directed at Ohio Dan Sullivan, Palin accuses him of hiding behind Senator Lisa Murkowski’s skirt. So weird! 🥴

Anecdotally, it looks like Alaska is purging naturalized citizens from the voter rolls, claiming that they're not American. It happened to my partner and to other people she knows. So know that when you see US gov't claims about non-citizens found on the voting rolls, know that it's bullshit.

::cracks knuckles:: The Republican lunatic who spent five years insisting voter rolls are full of fraud forgot to put himself on one, and now everyone knows the Trump endorsed Republican candidate for governor of Minnesota lives in Texas. Or something. 🤡
