At the request of Gov. Dunleavy, they will deploy to Washington D.C. in March 2026.

Trillions have been invested into AI and I find myself absolutely bored reading AI generated answers.
I prefer reading students writing with all those errors and mistakes. Humans learning, failing, and struggling is interesting.
Trillions spent and it's still not anywhere near as good as you.

Governor appointed Senators and Representatives should not be able to run for office for the seat they filled. It's especially undemocratic for a lame duck governor to appoint a replacement elected official. This gives an appointee a huge advantage over the rest of the field in an election.
Palmer Republican Sen. Shelley Hughes, one of the preeminent purveyors of trans panic in the #akleg, is resigning effective tomorrow at 5 p.m. so she can focus on her run for governor.
Her resignation follows GOP Wasilla Sen. Shower, who left the job to run with Republican Bernadette Wilson.
