Fairbanks Airport down to 0F (-18C) late Sunday afternoon. This is the first time it's been down to 0F this autumn and is 12 days later than the average "first 0ºF" over the past 50 years. Only one occurrence of the "first 0ºF" before Oct 22nd this century. That used to be common. #akwx #Climate

Listening to these pathetic rationalizations from King, Hassan, Shaheen, whoever else they have queued up. Disappointed that they're not having windup speech by Sen. Neville Chamberlain.

This is not a deal — it's an empty promise. Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families. Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

The Trump administration is telling states to "immediately undo" actions intended to provide people with full SNAP benefits during the federal government shutdown. The impact on payouts OK’d by Gov. Mike Dunleavy last week was not immediately known. www.juneauindependent.com/post/states-...

omg

there's no mystery behind his "strange obsession," he's a straight-up eugenicist. his whole family talks constantly about their strong genes and good breeding. we have to start naming and recognizing the dangerous return of eugenics to the public sphere.

Thank you, Gov. Evers!

We can’t forfeit at halftime anymore. We have to play beaten and bruised. We can lean on each other, even if it’s a tiny team. The point is: we can field a team. We can show up and play. We can win when we compete. Run. The. Ball. jesspiper.substack.com/p/8-man-foot...

Out my kitchen window while I’m working here this morning!

A man rushed to the Broadview ICE facility searching for his wife. They followed every legal step, but ICE took her into another room and she vanished. He tracked her phone there when the signal died. Police told him to “look up her name online.” He sat in the parking lot, weeping, with no answers.

Not only is covert white supremacy socially acceptable; critiquing it or even just naming it is increasingly seen as socially unacceptable, or even as a radical instigation to violence deserving criticism or punishment.

🧵 Read this whole thread. Heritage Foundation demanded that a plaque honoring black soldiers be removed. Our congresspeople must order that this erasure of history be stopped!

Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...

After issuing guidance saying they were working on administering full benefits, USDA has now released guidance saying releasing full benefits was unauthorized, and states that did so must claw back funds. More chaos and incompetence from this administration, harming the hungry.

Will Dunleavy comply? www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Trump: “A dividend of at least $2000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone” See, if you elect someone who never bought his own groceries, never scheduled an appointment, paid rent, bought medicine or cared for anyone.. then you get this.

A dozen Republicans seem to think they have a good chance of being Alaska’s next governor, while only one Democrat is officially harboring such hopes so far. The last time a Democrat was elected was 1998. www.juneauindependent.com/post/tom-beg...

Every sector of the 🇺🇸 economy & polity is exactly like this. Ronald Reagan & his lazy, selfish, juvenile talking point & his acolytes’ worn copies of Atlas Shrugged have done untold damage to our politics & society.

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.” The result was “institutionalized hunger.” @kristencrowell.bsky.social www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
