Sullivan takes cover on Trump ballroom and slush fund This is the correct headline and explanation about Sullivan’s vote the other day. @dermotcole.bsky.social always delivers the truth.

The further explication of the folly of Glenfarne’s and Dunleavy’s demands penned by Sen. Wielechowski: (Yes, again, it is on Facebook but very much worth reading and sharing!) www.facebook.com/share/p/1CYg...

Pay attention to who is willing to break the law for Donald Trump as we head into the midterm elections—because his end goal is to create a system where others will break the law for him. It's about building up a custom where it's normal to break the law for a person. The big case is the military.

Trumpists win by making people distrust elections because they don't like democracy, don't like voting (at least as suffrage currently stands) and resent and dislike America (as presently constituted pre-100 million-deportations).

Yeah we need to just ignore that deal and prosecute them anyway and let them be mad about it. They created this age where no promises mean anything. Any promise made to the Trumps should be broken.

Wait, wut?

They’re right to worry. Hegseth is clearly resegregating the military by race and sex.

I specifically requested no more metaphors

wow an ICE CREAM TRUCK just came down my unpaved unmarked road they let me give them crumpled dollar bills in exchange for ice cream at the end of my driveway amazing

A cold spring in the North American Arctic but warm in the European Arctic so it partially balanced out. Details in the latest from the Alaska and Arctic Climate newsletter. #Arctic #Climate #Spring2026 alaska-arctic-climate.beehiiv.com/p/spring-202... alaskaclimate.substack.com/p/spring-202...

We need ~30 years of data from the AMOC to be able to finally determine if it's actually collapsing. We're at 20 years of data. Removing this now means we can't definitively determine a potential AMOC collapse that could result in substantial climate disruptions. www.livescience.com/planet-earth...

We’re fighting alongside partners to stop the Pacific Northwest's first industrial-scale wood pellet mill, which would emit toxic air pollutants and threaten local communities. We need to stop harmful biomass in its tracks to protect forests, public health, and our climate.

Oh, this is just beautiful.

What does "arctic" mean"? Four takes on the Arctic: 2002 "Caribou Migration I" by photographer Subhankar Banerjee, 1957 "Arctic Twilight" oil on masonite by Fred Machetanz, circa 1964 It's a Small World: Arctic concept art, & 1981 "Arctic Sea" print by Erté (Romain de Tirtoff).

It’s time for Congress to permanently protect this irreplaceable million-year-old ecosystem to enable durable economic opportunities from outdoor recreation. (2/2)

The sound of my woods in June is the song of the Hermit Thrush. They come here briefly to mate and their song is only sung for a few weeks, then they are gone. The zen of it makes me forget the harsh winter we endured to get here again.

My brave colleagues were removed from the conference I’m attending. For passing out copies of an editorial in an ADA journal. 🧪 www.medpagetoday.com/special-repo...

Police pushed out a couple of the attendees at a diabetes scientific meeting. The crime: Passing out printouts of a recent publication calling out the administration for destroying our research infrastructure. The right to free speech was infringed upon. Censorship is real. We have to stand up.

Just in time for elections, Alaska Senator Dan Sullivan is pretending he cares about domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse all while supporting the Rapist in Chief and the rest of the perverted Republican cabal.

Don’t believe Glenfarne’s BS. “And it is safe to assume that $54.5 billion is probably too low. Why? Because a detailed cost breakdown has not been completed.” #AKLNG #akleg

This is one of the first places I’ve seen it spelled out explicitly that Hormuz is closed because Trump spent the leverage that was keeping it open.

The Trump administration has taken steps to make sure that the United States is a safe space for money launderers, drug cartels, and international financial rogues.

52 senators voted in favor of allocating an additional $70 billion to fuel ICE and Border Patrol's campaign of chaos and violence in our communities without any reforms. The House of Representatives must reject this bill and any attempts to give ICE more money to violate our rights.

And Senator Dan Sullivan voted for it. Shocker.

Congrats, John Roberts! You ended the three-branch method of governance!

Alaskans: I'm working on a story on the unprecedented 12 schools closed last month across Alaska, due to budget cuts. If you are a student, parent, or teacher affected I'd love to speak with you about the experience, and your plans for next year. DMs open or email [email protected]

Only about 5% of U.S. plastic waste gets recycled. Much of the rest is shipped overseas, where it's often burned in the open — polluting the air, contaminating water and harming communities that didn't create the waste in the first place. theconversation.com/a-lot-of-rec... #climatesky

Happy 250th everyone. The Founders’ faith is now disqualifying.

The U.S. has needed a strong comprehensive privacy law for many years, and while state laws passed to fill that gap are imperfect, even the weak ones are stronger than the proposed federal SECURE Data Act, EFF’s @mariotrujillo.bsky.social told @statescoop.bsky.social. statescoop.com/house-subco...
