Law‑abiding citizens and organizations are held to strict standards, yet the current administration behaves as though those same rules don’t apply to them. We’re expected to follow the law while they openly signal that they stand above it.

1. Mitch McConnell suffered a fall on June 14 and has not been in the Senate for two months. But he's continued to get paid his salary of 174K/year. Since he entered the Senate in 1985, McConnell has voted against creating or expanding medical leave — paid and unpaid — at least 23 times.

My HB 36 has gone into law!This bill ends an incredibly dark period in Alaska history where foster children ended up in psychiatric facilities for sometimes months at a time when they didn’t need to be there. Now, they get a hearing within 7 calendar days. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The conference committee will also meet Saturday (wonderful, love it), Sen. Bert Stedman told me. He expects Saturday to be "eventful." "We'll have a pretty good idea by Saturday night where things lay," he said. He's hoping to finish next week, "but no guarantees in politics," he said. #akleg

As Senate Reps demand $72 billion more for ICE & CBP, @ramirez.house.gov exposes DHS Sec. Markwayne Mullin as yet another unqualified Trump lackey who is leading the crusade against immigrants & who is boosting inhumane conditions in detention facilities across the country. youtu.be/cLPKXv4Cm-w?...

i think the phrase "their cities" is interesting in that it expresses the republican belief that they are at war with their neighbors

Honestly, if you showed this to someone in 2010 and said "This is the President of the United States", they'd tell you to stop pulling their leg.

I just finished writing my reflections on tonight's big win in Virginia. I've been fighting this fight for ten years, including three cases in SCOTUS. Tonight we won a big one at the ballot box. Subscribe to Democracy Docket. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

A study from King's College London shows that AI opts for nuclear threats or detonation in 95% of geopolitical conflict scenarios. Today I tried to ban AI from accessing nuclear infrastructure in Alaska -- my amendment failed since folks felt it didn't fit the bill, but I will keep trying. #akleg
