Well now we know why Lisa Murkowski the Republican Senator from Alaska voted to not release the Epstein files previously when she was the deciding vote! Murkowski has ties to Ghislaine Maxwell & her husband & even attended a forum of theirs. It’s all about Money,Greed & Power! 🤬

Alaska's Western Arctic is one of the largest, most biodiverse tracts of public land in the United States.

Yet the Trump admin. just greenlit a plan to destroy it with bulldozers and 95,000-pound "thumper trucks."

The Center and allies sued to stop it.

Holiday dinners have very different price tags across Alaska. For example, ISER food systems economist Mike Jones recently found the standard holiday dinner costs 130% more in Nome than in Anchorage.

🎧 Listen in as Jones chats with @alaskapublic.org about food security in rural Alaska:
Alaska's holiday price divide: One meal, two very different costs
Using a menu from the American Farm Bureau, economist Mike Jones found the difference was about $100.

Despite a court order, federal regulators advanced a Cook Inlet offshore lease with no public input or new protections for endangered beluga whales—putting wildlife and communities at risk.

Elon Musk’s net worth has now surpassed $600 billion, just weeks after Tesla approved his 10-year, $1 trillion pay package.

That could amount to $100 billion per year — more than 1.4 million elementary school teachers’ paychecks combined.

Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

Another disaster. This one has actual harmful consequences for trans kids and their families.
Under the proposed rule issued by the Trump Administration today, any Medicare- or Medicaid-participating hospital would be barred from providing gender-affirming care to *any child*, even if the care is not paid for by Medicare or Medicaid.

The Trump admin is not enforcing labor laws as strongly as they should be. Workplace health and safety penalties are down 45%, while Wage and Hour Division penalties are down 94%.

President Trump is putting workers’ health, safety and wages at risk. https://bit.ly/490IB2U

NEW: The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica did it instead.

Use information from your prescription label to locate the factory and see if the plant has a history of inspection violations.

FOUR new deaths in ICE detention. That puts the total this year at 30 people dead; the highest in ICE's history and worse than even during the COVID years.

It's clear that the system is breaking down. Many of these are preventable deaths.
In the 90 minutes since I posted this, I've gotten two more death notifications.

ICE has a responsibility to take care of these people, something they are clearly disregarding. This is beyond horrifying. We must ensure dignity and humanity for detained people in this country.
Within 15 minutes today, I got two back-to-back notifications of deaths at ICE facilities.

28 people have died in ICE custody since Trump took office. These facilities are overcrowded & are putting their own profits over health and safety. We need oversight & accountability NOW.
