First, an earthquake hit Alaska. Then it was a typhoon. People turned to public radio for lifesaving information. Sen. Lisa Murkowski tried to get her colleagues to understand the importance of stations.

These ICE contracts use the same violence inflicted on Alaska Natives during the boarding school era- separating families and denying access to language and culture.
It is white supremacy.

Tesla’s profit fell 37% in the third quarter. It's been in the process of laying off 14,000 workers. It had more cars impacted by recalls than any other brand in 2024.
Yet Elon Musk just got a pay package worth $1 trillion.

(Not paying out any SNAP benefits is violating the court order. She can insist they're complying all she wants, but that doesn't make it true.)
Q: Trump wrote that SNAP benefits will only be given when Democrats reopen the government. As written, how would that not violate the court order?
