New signs for ARP are up. Unfortunately my suggestions were not followed.

Hello Alaska! Our rebooted podcast has a new episode out. We talk #akleg budget amendments and take a little peek over the fiscal cliff. (w/ @matt.akmemo.com)

My latest from The Memo: House approves key social spending boosts in operating budget as Republicans cry foul #akleg

JD Vance and Erika Kirka pull similar numbers to the Fairbanks No Kings protest in March on a 15F day.

Preventing easily avoidable childhood illness and deaths through regulations is good. Raw milk should not be for sale specifically because infants and children are likely to be harmed. If you want to drink raw milk then go farm and milk your own cows.

The "Fuck Your Feelings" crowd is in need of a half dozen therapy dogs today. Also, they have no ability to see which way the wind is blowing and keep playing to their online/talk radio base.

Trump supporter threatens to kill Democrats at a union hall in Fairbanks.

Trump supporter threatens to kill Democrats at a union hall in Fairbanks.

"McTaggart said he planned to storm the labor union hall on Davis Road, had a house full of weapons and intended to hold the building until all the “Democrats” were dead."

🧵 The House is back for the second half of today's budget amendments. I'm guessing like 40-50 left. #akleg 📺: www.ktoo.org/video/gavel/... 📄: www.akleg.gov/Basis/Bill/D...

🧵 The House is back and underway with more amendments to the operating budget. I'm trying to catch up on some writing, so I'll be covering it here and there this morning. #akleg 📺 www.ktoo.org/video/gavel/... 📄: www.akleg.gov/Basis/Bill/D...

Best Star Trek crew, wrong answers only

Republican gubernatorial candidate Click Bishop has selected nonpartisan Greta Schuerch, an Alaska Native corporation board member who works for a mining company, to serve as his running mate. www.adn.com/politics/202...

I'm planning on covering this (Thursday 130 in Senate CRA)! A lot of these provisions got through as a floor amendment, so they haven't had much time in the spotlight in an already-busy year. My previous write-up: thealaskacurrent.com/2026/03/03/o... #akleg

🧵 The House is already back for budget amendments. They're still on the Republicans' amendment to gift the Dalton Highway an additional $2M in maintenance funding... even though the Department of Transportation doesn't need it. #akleg 📺: www.ktoo.org/video/gavel/...

A very busy day ahead in the House, with the operating budget on the calendar, plus a concurrence vote on a bill that changed drastically while in the Senate. HB 194 now includes corporate income taxes on corporations like Hilcorp, in addition to its original purpose. #akleg

Josh Church thought he could save the city of Fairbanks coffers with a lottery. He's onboard with targeting 12 percent to 14 percent returns for the PFD. He's also a financial advisor that pushes crypto. www.dermotcole.com/reportingfro...?

The Kenai Peninsula Borough School District’s board voted today to close Tustumena Elementary, Sterling Elementary, Seward Middle and River City Academy. Those schools have a combined enrollment of 380 students. There will be no school in Kasilof or Sterling — kids will commute to Soldotna. #aknews

Writing is hard, but so are so many fulfilling things in life. Puzzles aren't any fun if the come solved; writing is the same. It's the journey, the process, the struggle that makes writing worth it. Too many want the product, the scenic view, the accolades without the hardship.

This is such a dumb idea.

Rep Gerard Way is straight edge.

Getting oil from the Persian Gulf means you have to go through some Dire Straits right now.

Staff in the UA system are now unionized by a vote of 1,106-610 with 1,716 eligible voters (about 75% of those eligible).

No foolin'! The podcast I've been doing with @pat.alaskarobotics.com is getting a reboot! More episodes, more topics, more frequently and on a new feed! Find "Hello Alaska with Matt and Pat!" wherever you find fine podcasts (and lemme know if it's not there, and we can get it submitted). #akleg

Someone should tell JD just how spiteful Popes can be.

Rep Will Stapp is Not Okay (I Promise)

Who wore it better?

Dunleavy's next pick for Board of Regents. Just needs to add a bankruptcy first though.

Trying to find original source, because it's not on the Alaska Survey Research site yet, but New York political consultant Eric Koch on Twitter shared an ASR poll with Peltola up 5 and winning in round 2.

No Kings, Fairbanks Alaska Lots of folks, hard to show in a photo Beautiful day. Around 15F #nokings

Only about +10F, but bright and sunny, Fairbanks comes out in force Saturday for #NoKings. Seemed like significantly more people up and down Cushman Street than in April 2025, which itself was a good showing. #AlaskaSky

Fairbanks, Alaska! #nokings

Talkeetna. AK., pop. 1,000. No Kings 3.0 72 in attendance,

I'm begging our Interior delegation to pull Rep Stapp aside and teach him how to dress like an adult man. #akleg

I'll be covering the No Kings protests tomorrow - at least 22 communities are planning events across Alaska. Send your photos! [email protected] (Photo from Anchorage in June)

Fairbanks Republicans are tired of losing local elections. Instead of running better candidates, they are trying to change the election date to make elections more partisan. #akleg

#AlaskaSky — here are all of the (listed) No Kings 🚫👑 events in the state tomorrow. Bc fascism & all the forces that made MAGA possible exercise power all over & all the time, that means *every 1*of those moments & places is a possible site of resistance. We HAVE power. So much. Let’s use it.

I'm glad to see someone Dunleavy hired is only arrested for drunk driving. It's a step up for the GOP in Alaska. No minors involved! alaskapublic.org/news/public-...

Ayo! My latest newsletter catches up on the stuff I've been able to watch while editing the nearly 16,879 hockey photos (only like 5.4K more left to look through). I may have gotten carried away. Anyway, a look at help coming for Mt. Edgecumbe and the S-Corp loophole fight. #akleg

Any day I can share that the FAA’s staffing issues reach back to LBJ is a good writing day. This is my first article for @theatlantic.com. www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...
