Happy #Caturday from the Capitol in Juneau! (Yes, we work every day of the 121-day legislative session!) #akleg #caturdayvibes

The @uaanchorage/Idaho state pharmacy students are in Juneau talking about education and health policy! #akleg

The December and early January cold snap across Alaska and NW Canada may well turn out to be one of the coldest multi-week events of the 21st century. Lots of details in the latest from the Alaska and Arctic Climate newsletter. #akwx #ytwx #Arctic #Climate alaskaclimate.substack.com/p/alaska-and...

The U.S. Forest Service celebrates a birthday on February 1st when President Theodore Roosevelt signed the Transfer Act of 1905. The agency manages national forests, watersheds and wildlife. Alaska is blessed to have almost 20% of the forested acreage in the US-and it is expanding! #akleg #Birthday

'Cut the budget' or 'new revenues' are the only ways to decrease the decade-long trend of spending down savings or cutting the PFD. The fact is that the budget has been cut, flat-funded and declined in real $$$ growth since massive tax cuts to the oil and gas. alaskasenate.org/.../kawasaki... #akleg

Almost...it is still the first week of the Legislative Session in Juneau! #akleg

I just have to say...not sure how many silversmiths and train conductors we actually have in AK but I donated to the @marypeltola.com campaign and I guess would qualify as a fisherman! #akleg

One of my heroes when I first got elected to the State House was Mary Peltola. She was a young, bold fighter from Western Alaska! She will be a strong leader in the Senate and a check against the current President. #akleg @marypeltola.com

Any initial thoughts on 'new' food pyramid besides 'where is the pizza?!' #foodpyramid #akleg

What could possibly go wrong with an advertising campaign through a 'wartime recruitment' strategy directed to certain emboldened Americans? #akleg #defiance

Thank you to the 11th Airborne Division Commanding General John Cogbill for sending out a communique to the entire division about the challenging season for mental health and to keep in touch w/eachother. It is great that mental health is NOT being stigmatized. #akleg

Happy Birthday to the National Guard and our own Alaska National Guard! The Guard is the oldest military institution in the United States at 389 years old today! The recent Typhoon Halong Disaster shows what an important force the guard makes up in peace time. Thank you and HBD! #akleg

Thanks for joining us at the Town Hall Meeting. It was a blast! @scottkawasaki.bsky.social @alaskascott.bsky.social youtu.be/pMmEH6nxlCk?... via @YouTube #akleg

🎬 You’re invited! Northern Center/Salmon State are hosting ‘Ocean with David Attenborough’ which discusses the oceans of our planet and the fishing practice of trawling and threats to the ecosystem. Alaskaland Civic Center on Wednesday, December 10th at 6:30 pm. #akleg

The Town Hall/@RepMaxineDibert will be on @facebook LIVE and simulcast to @YouTube! It's gonna be better than Wednesday evening Prime Time! @RepCarrick #akleg

Fred Meyer in Fairbanks has a small 'free' produce section specifically for kids and people in need. Why should offering those in need be a government decision? #akleg

Thank you too thread Alaska for 40 years of working to improve quality and accessibility to child care. AK has come a long way and we have a long way to go in the next 40 years! ##akleg

It is not a 'third term' so quit calling it so. It is a coronation and Americans cannot let this happen! #nokings #akleg

Getting trolled by the AK Republican Party Chair! Finger pointing while a fire is burning down the house is unhelpful. Instead let us work together and pick up a water bucket and put the fire out! #winning #akleg 🔥

Got to DC a day early to meet with Congressional Delegation and visit the sites. Sadly the @smithsonianmag.bsky.social and many of the facilities are closed. 😞 #akleg

Oh no @spifffy.bsky.social! RIP Grubby! #akleg

HBD to the US Navy! Today marks the day the Continental Congress authorized the formation of the Continental Navy. This year, marks the 250th anniversary of the Navy's founding. Nome Naval Station will one day come to be soon! #akleg

Congratulations to incoming City of Fairbanks Mayor Mindy O'Neall and all of the candidates who sacrificed, ran for office and won! Three entrenched R's were defeated by three @thealaskadems.bsky.social in Fairbanks. 20 other cities and boroughs around AK also voted on Tuesday! #akleg

I learned about 'Bayanihan and Utang na Loob' at the opening ceremonies for the Filipino Heritage month. Such a great feeling of community! #akleg

Big crowded field of Alaska Gubernatorial candidates. Seven Republican candidates here now at the Fairbanks Alliance update. Maybe I should file at the 12th Republican candidate for governor?! 😄 #akleg

Star Trek TNG is the best! amiright?! @lgtobin.bsky.social #akleg

Polaris Building 2023 and Polaris Building 2025! Thanks go to USS Lisa Murkowski and the Alaska Legislature for the $13-million+ to take down the dilapidated structure of the 1950's structure. What's next? #akleg

This is pretty amazing. Congrats to NM! Can you imagine the draw to AK if this was a selling point? #akleg

I am going to have to pick up the UNCLOS treaty banner for former Navy sailor and Alaska Rep. Max Gruenberg in the next year! #akleg

The Tanana Chiefs Conference and Fairbanks Native Association working with law enforcement to bring attention to Alaska Missing and Murdered. #akleg

More than 1,100 of you wrote to tell us about the books that broadened your horizons, that you kept through every move, that inspired you to become English majors, librarians, writers and teachers.

Thank you to the Labor Movement that has built America in to a superpower! Today we honor you! #akleg #LaborDay

It's not really news to anyone, but it should shock folks! #akleg New state report says Alaska teens and adults are getting fatter alaskabeacon.com/2025/08/30/n...

@lgtobin.bsky.social Thank you for reminding me to post this information too! Remember that you can be part of the solution by reaching out to www.KUAC.org today! #akleg

Seriously? After sweeping in to office and essentially crippling worker protections-not just in federal government but everywhere? #akleg

Great turnout for the Alaska Defense Forum in Fairbanks this morning. AK is a strategic and smart location for improvements for the US @DeptofDefense. @11thAirborneDiv #akleg

This day 120 years ago, the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution was ratified and guaranteed women's right to vote. #akleg

My Senate office has been notified by patrons and families about this detention and I am working with our federal delegation on next steps. This is not the kind of free country we need to be. #akleg bit.ly/46R3VIC

The Hotlick's Summer will continue until September 14th! #akleg

60 years ago today, the Voting Rights Act – which prohibits racial discrimination in voting – was signed into law. But right now, Republicans across the country remain relentless in their efforts to make it harder to vote. We cannot let them win.

That vote was overshadowed by an education funding veto override that took place minutes later, but the override on SB 183 could be more significant for state revenues in the long run. (From @alaskabeacon.com)

Not a rational POTUS. #akleg @taylorswifteras.bsky.social #25thAmendment

Just told Republican Trump cuts to CPB mean @gavelalaska.bsky.social will be limited sadly. Ill post updates on Twitter @bsky.app Facebook Instagram as frequently as possible. Cellphones are not allowed in chambers. #akleg

OMW to a Juneau Special Session to support a meager increase to the per pupil formula. Should be $1800 to keep pace with inflation. Compromised to $700 but the Guv cut $200 of that increase. #akleg

The pay-to-play 'news' will now be the norm rather than real journalism. Sad. @kuactvfm.bsky.social @ktoopublicmedia.bsky.social @alaskapublic.org #akleg Ds have been fighting for public media for decades and now this! Ugh.

Yet another bill passes by huge margins and Governor Dunleavy vetoes it-this one for ER care for police dogs. It's time for the legislators to go to Juneau, override the veto and assert itself as a coequal branch of government over an unhinged executive branch. #akleg

Definitely going to see the new Superman! #akleg

I hoped never to see concentration camps like the ones I grew up in appear again in this country. Reading this breaks my heart.

Join me and Representative Maxine Dibert for a PICNIC IN THE PARK on 7/8 at Pioneer Park and 7/10 at Nussbaumer Park each at 4-6pm. Let's enjoy a hot dog and chat about the summer and the legislative session! #akleg
