Duh. He's a ghoul and an irredeemable garbage person who's trampling American values multiple times a day. Of course he approved this act of medieval barbarism.

🤣 Lying Dan Sullivan needed to write me and tell me he’s conducting oversight of Trump and the executive branch. I decided to read this one because it’s short. Normally Sullivan is slow to answer letters. Recently I’ve been absolutely inundated with his BS responses. #akelect

Let’s be specific. Bernadette Wilson and Dave Bronson advocate lower minimum wage and a rollback of the sick leave law. Republicans are never pro worker. #akelect

ALASKA RANKED CHOICE VOTING Alaska has some of the toughest campaign finance transparency laws in the country. Outside spenders are funding a ballot measure to get rid of those laws, RCV & open primaries. That would flood Alaska’s elections with untraceable campaign cash. VOTE NO on 2 NOon2ak.com

Say hello If someone pops into your head, and it's not inappropriate, say hi Some of my friends, I've gone a while without speaking to because we felt awkward saying hello Just say hello. If it's not meant to be, so be it. But the risk is so, so worth it Receiving a hello feels amazing

A New York Times article claimed hostility by Mary Peltola. Will it affect Alaska’s Senate race?
Additional reporting shows conflicts between Alaskans and East Coast staff during Peltola’s term in Congress.

DOLLY PARTON DAY 9-25-26 I miss Dolly and trust we all will continue to support her IMAGINATION LIBRARY. Inspired by her father’s inability to read & write, Dolly started her Imagination Library in 1995 for children…Her program gifts millions of free books each month to children around the world.

You take the good, you take the bad, you take 'em both and there you have the facts of Trek. 😉 The fact of the matter is that Star Trek has been a pretty sloppy mess through the entirety of its 60 year history, and it should be acknowledged as such, devoid of the rose-colored glasses. Well done. 🤘

JUST SO WE’RE CLEAR “Jesus wasn’t white. He didn’t preach English. He wasn’t a Republican or Democrat. He carried a cross, not a gun. The American flag is not a Christian symbol. The National Anthem is not a worship song. The Bible doesn’t say, ‘God Bless America.’ Love God. Love People.” ~LC Morris

“Just so we’re clear: Jesus wasn’t white. He was a Middle Eastern Jew. He didn’t preach English. He spoke Aramaic. He  wasn’t a Republican or Democrat. He didn’t push an agenda—He pushed Love. He carried a cross, not a gun. The American flag is not a Christian symbol. Faith doesn’t belong to one country. The National Anthem is not a worship song. It’s a song—our faith is much bigger. The Bible doesn’t say ‘God Bless America.’ It says, ‘For god so loved the world.’ Not just America. The world. Jesus didn’t come to build walls. He came to break down barriers. Love God. Love People. That’s the whole message.”

Whittier Alaska's new cruise ship dock has been described as a "total loss." It cost $80 million to build and welcomed its first cruise ship in September 2024. 2 years later, it's destroyed by a fire and had not a SINGLE WORKING FIRE HYDRANT when the fire broke out. Hope some heads roll over this.

It’s pretty hilarious how the Trump Administration is suddenly announcing all this money and Ohio Dan is the only one touting it. Even Begich 3 is nowhere to be found. According to Dan he “fought hard” for this. By now I think most Alaskans know Lisa Murkowski is behind everything Dan “does.”
