Papa is back! Just a terrific story, and couldn't happen at a better time. Can't wait to hear "TOUCHDOOOOOWN SAN. FRANCISCOOOOOOO!!!!" again <3

Happy New Year to you all! I hope you all in Alaska are hanging in there and you pipes dont freeze and your boat dont sink. 2025 is the new sougherdough high water mark. Don't remember the winter of '25? You're gonna hear about it!

You’ve lost the plot as a presidential administration when Dr. Oz is on stage handwringing about the cost of balls

BREAKING: Federal judge in south Florida has ordered the unsealing of Epstein grand jury materials. The second most-requested Christmas gift, by children of all ages, is release of all of the Epstein files. My elves and I expect the release of the grand jury materials by 12/19, files thereafter.

We have a cabinet level Secretary of State, a diplomatic corps, Special Envoys, and Defense team to do this work. “Son-in-law” is not a government job. Kushner does not represent us.

The headline is not just that Pete Hegseth issued a plainly unlawful order to intentionally slaughter survivors after an initial strike. It is also that senior military officers improperly carried out those orders.

Although the timing and location may seem very coincidental, we are calling this NOT an aftershock of the 2018 Anchorage Earthquake. We are calling it the 2025 magnitude 6.0 Susitna Earthquake. This earthquake took place on the subducting Pacific Plate. We'll follow up as we learn more.

Does anyone remember the Logan act? The only way out of this mess is if a whole hell of a lot of people go to jail.

Oh, shit.

THIS IS SO GOOD

“To be brutally candid, due to the proactive cancellation of this grant, $20 million of hardworking U.S. tax dollars are currently sitting in the U.S. treasury instead of swept into the Kuskokwim River,” EPA press secretary Brigit Hirsch said. Monsters. #akleg

Senator Lyman Hoffman reporting 50% of Kipnuks utility poles are broken in half, and the runway has a crack right in the middle of it.

Three key points: 1) The admin has been planning mass firings to begin in October since February 2) The work necessary to carry out mass firings is illegal during a shutdown, violating the Antideficiency Act, which carries a criminal penalty 3) This harms America, ridding us of talent and expertise

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

Late-stage dementia didn't stop Ronald Reagan.

This is a Hatch act violation

This article in MRAK doubled the amounts spent because the author is either intentionally misrepresenting the facts or doesn't understand the documents they received. 🤷‍♂️

Translation:

So many adults have to fail a child before he ends up 10 years old telling CNN about the mass shooting he lived through this morning

Yeah fuck you JD. The Union negotiated nothing when we beat the Confederacy. The Allies kept killing Nazi's till they surrendered in WW2. There was no negotiation with Japan, either. Ask Yale for your money back because you didn't learn shit there.

Hawaii is having all the fun!

As a person who was big into forums and chat rooms in the 90s, it’s unreal watching ChatGPT ppl develop forum addiction & epistolary limerence & go through vicious-cycle social reinforcement in EXACTLY the same ways, except with a reskinned Eliza app & they’re not being publicly shamed for it enough

Slightly diminish a band: arahantship

Alaska lawmakers override governor’s veto of public school funding, restoring services and teachers, reports James Brooks, @alaska.bsky.social, of @alaskabeacon.com: alaskabeacon.com/2025/08/02/a... #akleg

Senator Tobin has the tiger by the tail. Inefficiencies have been introduced by well-intentioned efforts at oversight. We should hire well trained experts in childhood education and trust them to do their jobs. Reporting requirements should always come with increased funds for administration.

All I see here is top notch ball security, elite contact balance, a willingness to grind out tough yards btwn the tackles, and surprising burst after he finds daylight

Wow so you’re telling me everyone who cheered on the Iraq war is on board with this now too? And so are the people who opposed the Iran nuclear deal and killed it? You’re kidding.

Just to be crystal clear: bombing Iran is completely illegal.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

This is a surprisingly dope poster from the <checks notes> Division of retirement and benefits.

I was always though Mackey was the best to ever do it, but I gotta say Jeff is making a late push. Four time Iditarod winner Jeff King. #nokings #mushing #alaska

Another remarkable view down 5th Avenue. Tens of thousands united in saying no to Trump, no to ICE, no to fascism and #NoKings. (🎥 Unheard Voices)

Huge turn out at 10 AM in Pioneer Park in Fairbanks. Going until Noon! #NoKings

Pete Hegseth better make sure he gets a pardon Because it sure looks like he violated the Posse Comitatus Act "Whoever..uses..the [military] as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both" 18 US Code § 1385

Like @markspringer.bsky.social said, we're sacrificing our children to the oil companies.

The Trump administration's baseless deployment of the National Guard is plainly retaliation against California, a stronghold for immigrant communities, and is akin to a declaration of war on all Californians.

If you have been hesitant to vaccinate your children this is the time to reconsider. 1 in 5 unprotected children are hospitalized.

Important to note that overriding a line item veto of the funding requires 45 votes. This is good news. Well done by the reasonable folks in the legislature who put our children ahead of partisanship.

Fort Yukon's small power company — it serves 379 customers — is proposing a huge rate hike. Power bills could go up by 90% according to a proposal being reviewed by the Regulatory Commission of Alaska. #akleg #Alaska

For folks at home: This is a compliance test that allows *multiple avenues* to compliance. It isn't a pass/fail binary. What is occurring: Alaska tried to exclude monies on one side of the equation and literally forgot to account on the other side. Because margins were already tight, we failed.

Quote with a Pic of the airplane you'll accept as a bribe.

Taking a bribe in a very public way doesn't mean you aren't corrupt, it means your corruption is shameless.

THE PRESIDENT, WHO HAS NUCLEAR CODES AND TALKS TO HEADS OF STATE CONSTANTLY, CAN'T FLY AROUND ON A JET GIVEN TO HIM BY THE MOST CORRUPT OIL WIERDOS ON EARTH THERE IS NO OTHER "ANGLE" TO THIS STORY

Fairbanks should take this as a challenge.

What i get up to on a Thursday. Thanks Tom for the play by play!

This does sound bad. Do we ship goods to Alaska? Oh.
