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

So this bill will net cost $3,000,000,000,000 and cuts to things like food stamps and Medicaid Healthcare will hurt the most vulnerable? So who makes that money? #akleg

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness....

So, shitty day! I’m pissed, but mostly I’m just sad for the millions of people who will suffer because of what Republicans did today. Many, if not most, are Trump voters. And most probably have no idea what this law will actually mean for them. (1/)

The Governor Dunleavy called a special session to begin on Saturday, August 2 in Juneau to consider two items: 1. a new Department of Agriculture and 2. education reforms. One reason to call now is that we are short legislators to override his veto of education $$$. Contact your legislators today!

Midnight Sun Baseball game in Fairbanks celebrating 120th year under the sun! Fairbanks Goldpanners versus the Anchorage Glacier Pilots! #akleg

Pretty nice for the @todayshow.com came to Anchorage for a visit. If they want to see ALASKA then they should come to Fairbanks! Who's with me?! #akleg

I don't think the Alaska Division of Elections has a @bsky.app account, so I am posting their information! In an effort to inform Alaskans where their ballots come from, the paper ballots for statewide elections conducted by DOE are created by a local vendor here in the State of Alaska. #akleg

The @govdunleavy.bsky.social speaking to the Fairbanks Chamber. He plans to take questions afterwards! He asked be about the ICE protestors outside. #akleg

Cool being at the opening game of the Anchorage cricket 🏏 league w/Representative Mina and Lucy at the Polynesian Association of Alaska. I embarrassed myself with my swing and miss! 😀 #akleg

Great to be in Alaska to greet the @ncslorg.bsky.social Elections Committee and the National Caucus of Native American State Legislators. Many first timers to our state! #akleg

So sad that many constituents who built Fairbanks are passing. This is Neville Abbott Jacobs who lived right downtown in her famous yellow house on a visit this last fall. #akleg

Session ended without drama or fanfare one day early! Check out a few items in the enewsletter as we pack up and head home! #akleg alaskasenate.org/senator/kawa...

The Governor vetoed the Education Omnibus bill that passed the #akleg by a vote of 48-11. The Legislature must override his failing antics and move on!

This is pretty much the theme of the @stephenking.bsky.social novel the 'Running Man' which was consequently set in a dystopian 2025 future of the United States! We already have a reality TV show President so this is just par for the course. #akleg

An omnibus elections bill is being heard today in House Finance. Please testify today! #akleg

Thank to my colleague @repgray.bsky.social Alaska leads the nation in ensuring that product safety warnings are available for alcohol sales. It is an important step forward to making Alaska healthier! #akleg

Come visit us at one or all of the town hall weekend events in Fairbanks! #akleg

Watching @govdunleavy.bsky.social explain veto of the $1K increase to K12 schools. Absolutely we need more policy that keeps schools accountable including testing for every student. In the meantime, a veto override is warranted. #akleg #override

3 important infographics and 1 bleak message. The budget will be a mess this year. Period. Federal government cuts, a crashing investment market and lower oil prices are the trifecta of budget horrors! 40 days to balance a budget w/a $1,900,000,000 deficit! #akleg

Hey Anchorage! The Anchorage Delegation of State Legislators will be in town over the weekend to host personal town halls and a larger listening session at the @universityofalaska.bsky.social campus. #akleg @thealaskacurrent.com

Let’s be clear: the Department of Education exists because states wouldn’t fund poor schools, wouldn’t protect kids with disabilities, wouldn’t follow civil rights law, especially in the South. Anyone calling to abolish it is calling to turn back the clock—and we can’t let that happen.

Rep Maxine Dibert and I spending our Saturday leaning about early education through the Hunt Institute. #akleg

Hearing families across AK support funding for K12/HomeSchool/charter/correspondence as the state priority. Several hours more to come! #akleg

The Senate Education Committee is taking public testimony on Wed & Friday from 3:30-5 pm. Testifier signup closes by 4:15 pm. Call Juneau 907.586.9085; Anchorage 907.563.9085; Other Locations 844.586. 9085. Emails will also be taken and be part of the public record [email protected]. #akleg
