I grew up in Alaska so this whole “the kids can’t go to school in the dark” is funny to me. We survived just fine. 🤣 We also managed to go to sleep at night when the sun never really sets.

For generations, Vermonters and Quebecers have shared families, communities, and deeply close connections. But even with that in mind, we’re still facing the fallout from stunts that Kristi Noem pulled, and we have small businesses that won’t survive this trade war.

I believe that the name removing will occur as soon as Trump is no longer president. If he dies after the end of his presidency he will get to witness the name removals himself.

I do wonder what those who receive Clean Air Act exemptions expect to happen when Trump is no longer president. They'll ask for time - I really hope it is not granted. I so want the next administration to be hard asses with those who received favors from Trump.

A cousin had so much trouble with ticks (as we all do on Cape Cod) he created "Ticktogs", something like knee high socks, to trap and kill ticks.

But if the House votes AGAINST Trump's war, how is the war legal, under the logic that Congress has to approve wars? While Trump argues he has authority under some law, it should be clear that an explicit veto by even ONE branch of congress should be sufficient to deny him that authority.

And we're fortunate Alaska is having a minimal fire season this year, otherwise the USA would be giving western Canada even more.

Though I've always felt that the Republican party of the American Civil War was a party opposed to the status quo - it was later, when it became the ruling party that it went through the process of becoming the vehicle of the rich and well connected to power. And it continued to evolve.

How about all those in New England who suffer from Lyme disease or are afraid to enjoy the woods? Asking people who have already chosen to either ignore or, better, protect themselves from the tick population will not get you an unbiased response.

The outing of the truth about the Iran school bombing may have to wait for a new administration, though a new Congress may be able to bring the truth to light.

Had a used '72 240Z until I got T-boned. Would first warm up the SU carburetors in -50 weather. Replaced with a 280Z which I kept until the rust ate it away. Loved 'em both. Many, many miles. My North America tour car.

So do they plan on burning more coal and add to the winter pollution in interior Alaska?

REQUIRES all that water for data centers? Disagree, it's a money choice. In my limited understanding, they are using the evaporation of water for cooling. If so, that is a CHOICE they make because they pay less for the water they evaporate away than they would pay for other methods of cooling.

Hmmm, I can think of a few people who deserve that treatment when 'Antifa' comes into power if that becomes the norm. Of course, it'd be better not to start this tit for tat.

Don't we have almost as many Republican politicians voting in states other than those with their actualresidence? I know, probably not really, but the number is greater than zero.

Agree, fines for the rich are meaningless. It's like 'drop a ten' for regular people. Time in jail, on the other hand, has real meaning for everybody. Look at Trump as the outstanding example of the uselessness of financial penalties for the rich.

I do wonder what incentives look like from the Iran government's point of view. Do they see an advantage to them to string Trump along, knowing he is so desperate for something that he can call a victory? Is it to the Iranian government's interest to 'maintain' a weak president or see a new one?

Unfortunately, it appears taking refuge in a hospital or school is an invitation to be attacked by Americans led by the Trump/Hegseth team.

I assume (hope?) that several states (not just Florida) could bring charges against Maxwell. A federal pardon should not help Maxwell escape justice.

He's so young looking that they ask for his ID when he orders a drink? Of course, my mind goes to being in a bar and watching a state trooper going directly to a friend of mine to ask for ID. She was 36. He turned around and walked out of the bar.

I believe that a Democratic Congress and administration should react to the takeover of Alabama by 1850s racists by giving them no federal money, except that going to general programs such as Food Stamps. Remove as many federal facilities as possible. After all, isn't that what Donald Trump does?

Karjala @chenaridge.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

Future Dem gov't could tell a state "Have fair elections, or lose." If a state gerrymanders so that no Democrats are elected to Congress it might find itself with no hands in the government pot. Gee, too bad, turn about is fair play when we've seen the Trump administration denying disaster $.

Karjala @chenaridge.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

The move toward significant partisanship in elections might end up with hard asses running the federal government - no more give and take. No more 'because they need it'. What happens if one party really controls the government to the point where it is 'cooperate or else'? Really close now.

I used to support the Biden approach - help those state which need it, even if not supporters. Now, not so much. MAGA 'Bite the hand that feeds you' has demonstrated we need a harsher approach. I feel uncomfortable adopting a more confrontational approach but here we are. Anger/what works?

Karjala @chenaridge.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

It may be that the only effective method to minimize the power of gerrymandering is to dramatically expand the size of Congress. The average population of a representative's district when the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929 passed was 279,770 people. 1220 representatives in 2026. & DC a state

I wonder if Senator Husted considered that if regular people got better pay they'd be more willing to work. I wonder if Senator Husted considered that if people had better and more accessible (including less expensive) health care they'd be more able to work.

Yup, but I'll keep dreaming that almost everything, even military procurement, can be better even while my expectations are quite low.

A bunker cannot protect a person forever unless those with power are not willing to act. Trump may be building a bunker to protect himself in the short term - on the other hand, he may be seeking to emulate Hitler to the end. Another 'monument'.

Hmm, do those who support returning Alexandria and Arlington to Washington D.C. also support granting Washington D.C. statehood, or is this just a naked desire to deprive some Democrats any voting representation in Congress?

To be a little cautious - the elected Republican can acknowledge that the ballots are correctly counted in their districts/states - but those other districts/states - 'WELL!'

And I remember when the court ruled that having everybody say the Lord's Prayer at the start of school was unconstitutional. And I was starting to memorize it, too (ha ha). How times, and the court, have changed. Sigh ...

Trump stating "I'm surprised, because they are really rich." lays out his view of the world in one sentence. In Trump's view being rich means not being held accountable or suffering any bad outcomes.

I would like to assume that military procurement for expendable items like missiles and ammunition would require a peace time rate of production that could be readily (planned) increased in times of war. Like using a single shift when you could expand to 3 or 4 shifts a week and more. Dreaming?

It is no excuse to say "The Republicans won't convict in the Senate." Make those Republicans in both the House and Senate vote their support for criminality and the destruction of the United States. Giving up before the fight means that a Senator or Representative should NOT be in Congress.

Karjala @chenaridge.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

Presidential pardons - one could argue that a pardon issued after the president has been impeached, though before he has been convicted by the Senate, to be invalid once he has been convicted. This would seem to particularly apply if one of the charges was accepting bribes for issuing pardons.
