Hello? I’m looking for my almost 2,000 Alaska Xitter refugees. This could take a while…

Alaska LNG Project President Adam Prestidge doesn’t fault people for being skeptical about the project’s success. But he expects the skepticism to “fall away” as the project advances. #KPBorough www.kdll.org/local-news/2...

There they go again lying about environmental standards. WTH this enthusiasm is only because the Trump Regime and Republicans are throwing regulations and standards in the toilet.

AK State Board of Education just denied conditional approval of a new UAA MS degree in school psychology.

One of the objecting members referenced a draft policy by the national accreting agency which mentions CRT. 1/🔥🧵

And again, I'd really like to know where the FAA falls on the GOP vs "Democratic programs" paradigm. Will Essential Air Service and ATC be cut in states with Dem governors? Will controllers be fired based on political registration? What about blue state offices that handle red state carriers?

“We’ll be making cuts that will be permanent and we’re only going to cut Democrat programs. I hate to tell you. I guess that makes sense, but we’re only cutting Democratic programs,” Donald Trump said today

President Donald Trump said Thursday he’s prepared to cancel funding approved by Congress that he believes is going toward programs supported by Democrats, though he didn’t share any additional detail...

October in Alaska feels different this year. We've had one light 'frost on the windshield'. Still no hard frost where I live in SouthCentral. Dahlias and garden flowers blooming. Tomatoes, basil, marigolds still producing in the (unheated) greenhouse. Weather is changing. #globalwarming #AlaskaSky

Thiessen having a good chuckle about his fired liberal colleagues - some of whom he worked with for 15 years - is a good reminder that token conservatives at mainstream news outlets are/were there to destroy them, not to contribute to them.

"30-year-old conservative lawyer and activist who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, which deals with federal employee whistleblower complaints and discrimination" cancelled his colleague's hotel room so she would be forced to stay with him.
www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn’t have a hotel room.

Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him, according to five administration officials familiar with the episode. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him, three of those officials said.

“The Founders would never believe that it would ever come to pass that one state militia could be sent to another state for the purposes of political retribution”

THAT PART!

Thank you, Judge Perry.

In the middle of a government shutdown—while millions of Americans face down dramatic increases in their health care premiums—the Senate just voted to send another $900 BILLION to our already bloated pentagon budget. Disgusting.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

All servicewomen serving in combat roles already have to meet stringent gender-neutral physical standards.

But Secretary Hegseth is intent on smearing those women as unqualified — and pushing all women out of military service.
