Still kind of inconceivable how many people died or will die because of the death of USAID. And the world’s richest man did it almost as a joke

It is really remarkable that in a time of historic impasse in Congress, with both houses have been reduced to complete standstills despite a mounting number of political, economic, and ethical crises, both parties have spent months working to pass a bill limiting the pay of college athletes

Tough competition of course, but the Trump admin deciding that white South Africans are the only group of people on earth currently worthy of refugee status has to be the most overtly racist thing any administration has done in decades

Interesting to me that no polling data has been released or leaked from the gubernatorial campaigns (or if it has, I haven't seen it). I would guess this is for two reasons: 1) JKT's data shows that he is winning, and they don't want to spur the AKGOP into aggressive action and 2) the Republican...

Nashville International Airport is set to be renamed to honor Dolly Parton after a unanimous vote by the local airport authority. Once the effort clears all the hurdles, it will make Nashville one of the few major cities in the U.S. with an airport named after a woman. trib.al/feFqYJV

This is particularly harmful in rural Alaska, where the incidence of diesel trucks and machinery is much higher than in most cities. A bunch of my friends' fishermen dads had diesel trucks growing up. I honestly think that Sullivan is going to lose, and Iran-War-driven fuel price increases are why.

Dan Sullivan changes his tune on Alaska’s $5 gas now that Trump’s president Sullivan made a big scene over $5 gas under Biden back in 2022. With gas crossing the $5 mark again, he's been thanking Trump officials: "You’re doing such a great job for our state, for our country." #akelect

Sullivan made a big scene over $5 gas under Biden, complete with an "I did that!" sticker. Under Trump, $5 gas is just an opportunity to drill, baby, drill.

Perhaps an all-time Friday news dump: GOP former Attorney General Treg "I Don't Have to Fill Out My Financial Disclosures" Taylor is BACK IN THE RACE for governor! At 10:15, Lt. Gov. Dahlstrom (R) says the Department of Law's "independent" review says she has to let Treg off the hook. #akelect

Lieutenant Governor Dahlstrom Will Certify Nominations of Treg Taylor and Jose Tagle

September 4, 2026

Today Lt. Gov. Nancy Dahlstrom announced that the Division of Elections will certify Treg Taylor’s nomination for Governor and Jose Tagle’s nomination for State Representative for District 22.

On August 31, the Lieutenant Governor announced that she would not certify those nominations after the Alaska Public Offices Commission recommended against certification under 2 AAC 50.850(h). The Department of Law has since provided this office with an initial, independent review of candidates’ public official financial disclosure statements. That informal review identified numerous potential discrepancies between filed statements and public records. The department stated that the review is preliminary and is not a determination that any specific candidate violated AS 39.50.

On the basis of that additional information, the Lieutenant Governor will certify the two candidates.

“The Department of Law’s informal review has raised questions about the recommendations made on August 31,” said Lt. Gov. Nancy Dahlstrom. “I will not withhold certification from two candidates on recommendations that, in light of this additional information, I cannot apply with confidence across the field of candidates. Certification decisions have to rest on a process that can be defended as to every candidate.”

The department provided an initial working draft of the same information to the Commission on Thursday evening. The Commission has not acted to reconsider its recommendations despite the need to finalize the ballots. The Division of Elections will now update the certified list of candidates, including the governor and lieutenant governor pairing under AS 15.25.100.

How does Treg Taylor's team square this action with the letter they sent out this morning asking the Republicans, particularly Bernadette and Dave Bronson, to unify and consolidate? Isn't this the opposite of that? What justification are they offering?

I love Dolly, but one of the great dissappointments of my adult life was realizing that most jobs these days don't actually have you work "9 to 5." It's 8 to 5, with a "lunch break" that rarely goes a full hour. Felt like false advertising.

The President has decided that in order to make ground beef cheaper, he will cut tariffs on ground beef. And I'm wondering if he could generalize from this one product to other products, and perhaps concede that tariffs raise prices on American consumers.

Public radio is life and death in Alaska. It's how we know if it's safe to hunt or fish, how we navigate deadly weather, and how communities receive lifesaving emergency alerts. Dan Sullivan clawing back the funding our stations rely on isn't leadership. It's abandoning Alaska.

I'm always puzzled when a player pops off in the pros and dominates at that level, when they failed to win or compete for a championship in college. The Rutgers team with Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper is an extreme example, but can someone explain why Olivia Miles never made it past an Elite Eight?

When we try to increase funding for education, we are told that "money isn't the answer." But funding leads to more teachers, and more teachers reduces class sizes. It really is that simple. Anyway, this is from the article about Hillsdale opening a new private, religious school in Anchorage.
