I suppose one silver lining of the DOGE experiment, which yielded little else of value, is that we now have some precedent suggesting Trump's successor can raze ICE to the ground and salt the earth by executive fiat.

The argument against regulation is always the same: “It stifles growth and jobs.” But just as tax cuts for corporations have not trickled down, regulatory cuts have not benefited most people. Big companies enjoy bigger profits. Working people bear the costs.

The 280 beds are opening at a pre-existing jail known as the “Work Ethic Camp” (seriously), a minimum security facility designed for prisoners eligible for rehab and work release. Considering the facility is reportedly only 200 beds, it’s not clear whether they intend to build a new wing or what.

Work Ethic Camp. Underneath is a picture of a pre-existing jail

The Work Ethic Camp (WEC) is a 200-bed facility for males classified to 'Minimum B' custody. It provides
an individualized program in a time frame appropriate for the individual's needs and sentence structure. Individuals may parole from WEC, progress to a community custody facility or complete their sentence.
The Mission of the Work Ethic Camp is to provide an integrated program that combines evidence-based practices with treatment and educational opportunities. The overall goal is to reduce the risk of recidivism through behavioral change and assisting incarcerated individuals with successful community reintegration, thereby, keeping people safe.
With intermittent supervision, minimum custody individuals may be eligible to work as road crews in the community.

The glacial lake outburst flood at Mendenhall is still just beginning and waters are already higher than last year's damaging peak. Depending on how quickly the lake drains, it could unfortunately be a record flood for Juneau. I hope residents have had the support they need to prepare and evacuate.

Screencap of USGS stream gauge graph of the past year at Mendenhall showing a spike in Aug 2024 up to around 11 ft gauge height, and a new spike in progress in Aug 2025 already a little higher.
