Mary Peltola stood in Valdez with prices every Alaskan understands: $5.25 for gas, $6.75 for diesel. Dan Sullivan voted 12 times to continue the Iran war, and each vote drove fuel costs higher across Alaska. He chose the war. Alaskan families, fishermen, and truckers got the bill #momsky#sheshed

If a politician takes money from weapons manufacturers, don't be surprised when they back weapons contracts. If a politician takes money from Big Pharma, don't be surprised when they try to stop guaranteed healthcare. That's why I don't take ANY corporate money. None.

The Supreme Court just gave Trump the green light to restrict voting by mail. You can be registered to vote in your state and still be left off Trump’s new federal list. If you’re not on it, USPS can refuse to deliver your ballot. Vote in person. Vote early if you can, or on Election Day.
