A message from my wife and me in honor of the courageous, patriotic police who defended our country and Vice President Pence on J6, 5 years ago. Never forget. SHAME on every Republican. Trump belongs in prison.

Thank you, Fairbanks! What an incredible kickoff to our 2026 campaign! I'm very proud to announce Scott Kawasaki and Elvi Gray-Jackson as campaign co-chairs. They are both close friends and leaders who know exactly who I am and what I stand for. #TomBegichForAlaska #AlaskaSky 1/2

Is Donald Trump featured in the part of the Epstein Files that the DOJ hasn't released yet? A. Yes B: No C: What do you think, Einstein?

We're in a fiscal crisis and Dunleavy keeps setting money on fire to lose court cases. The legislsture should tap the statehood defense fund to pay for this. #akleg

TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force? MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO T: So force is on the table? M: Nobody is gonna fight the US militarily over future of Greenland

#akleg I wasn't certain so I reached out to Lynne Curry and she verified that this letter came from someone who worked for a state agency in Alaska. I'd like legislators to take this seriously if the administration doesn't.

We must act fast to ensure Trump doesn’t run Venezuela. Join our emergency organizing call with @moveon.org, @workingfamilies.org, @publiccitizen.bsky.social, @winwithoutwar.bsky.social, and more special guests to discuss the immediate actions you can take to stop more endless war.

Atlantic: Rotavirus Could Come Roaring Back—Very Soon By Katherine J. Wu @theatlantic.com bit.ly/3YWlGAS

New — I wrote about how corporate media is immediately siding with power in the wake of Trump attacking Venezuela and capturing Maduro, and how journalists need to treat the administration as a hostile entity that’s openly lying to them.

Stephen Miller is Trump’s most important and influential aide because he channels and shares the president’s worldview. His cold-blooded assessment that might makes right is the one immutable law of history and is now the guiding concept behind US foreign policy…

The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation has authorized the city to dump relatively clean snow into Gastineau Channel as operators run out of space on land.

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

It’s official: RFK Jr has officially reduced recommended childhood vaccines from 17 to 11, removing universal vaccine recommendations for RSV, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, dengue and two types of bacterial meningitis. This reckless contravention of science is going to kill people.

The destruction doesn't make for a photo-op like tearing down the East Wing of the White House or bulldozing the Rose Garden, but it's every bit as bad. Generations of American children learned to spell and count, learned the Preamble to the Constitution, from watching shows produced by the CPB.

How could the United States save ~$184 billion per year on outpatient prescription medications? Use international reference pricing @pnas.org www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

The one tool we had to fight this (mRNA vaccines) were booted this year by fucking Lowly’s human car. The turn around to get a vaxx that would cover this new variant would have been ready for the public by now. The new variant was detected months ago.

The US used to be really dirty – environmental cleanup laws have made a huge difference

Trump says the U.S. government may reimburse oil companies for rebuilding Venezuela's infrastructure Alaska knows how this works. You get 💩 government, no basic services like healthcare, but big oil keeps getting fatter profiting off taxpayers. Oil subsidies are welfare for the rich.

I'm in Fairbanks right now! Join me for our 2026 campaign kick-off. Tonight 6 PM at the Noel Wien Library.

I am grateful to have the support of Senator Bill Wielechowski. Bill understands that to truly support our students, we must invest in our educators. With over a decade of experience in the classroom, I share that commitment and I am ready to partner with leaders like Bill to get it done. 💪 #ancgov

Murkowski is among a handful of Republicans in Congress to raise questions or doubts about the operation. (From @alaskapublic.org)

We don't yet know what seat failed school board candidate and QAnon conspiracy theorist Alexander Rosales is going to run for, but we do know who he is running AGAINST: students, teachers, and families. Insane. I bet the AK GOP cuts him a check.

Positively balmy!! The lowest I got at the house was -42.9F, on Sunday morning 1/4/26. Glad it’s warmed up—it’s almost 30 degrees warmer!

On the theme of international press coverage of US public health, here’s Canada’s take. They’re not wrong. If disinformation spreads like a virus, Canada may want to mask up. Or at least wash its hands frequently. Too bad there’s not a vaccine to protect against malicious policies…

The Trump administration is slashing routine vaccine recommendations during childhood from 17 to 11 jabs – the biggest change to vaccines yet under the purview of longtime anti-vaccine activist Robert F Kennedy Jr. My latest (currently being updated!) www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

The “deport them all” crowd is just going to love this.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been dissolved, ending its 58 years as the primary funder for PBS, NPR and local TV and radio stations

At least three Alaskans have died from complications of influenza so far this season, amid a surge in cases happening earlier than last year, according to state epidemiologists. (From @alaskapublic.org)

The Alaska Safari Club hosted a subsistence hunt and feast for a handful of Typhoon Halong evacuees from Kipnuk — helping reconnect displaced hunters with tradition and community.

The Lituya was out of service until Friday while inspections were conducted. Officials found damage to the ship’s hull, but not enough to keep it tied up. (From CoastAlaska)

Audible gasp. You mean to tell me that after we saw a policy adviser defend Hitler, a Human Rights Commissioner defend "FUHRER" license plates, and an Assistant AG tweet hate speech, there might be a problem with the state's workplace culture? I am shocked. Aren’t you shocked? So shocked.

Antarctica had its warmest year on record. That seems fucking bad. 🔥🔥🔥

Wind, solar, and electric vehicles made huge strides in 2025. For the first time, wind and solar supplied more power than coal worldwide, while EVs accounted for more than a quarter of new car sales.

The confirmation of Steve Pearce will happen this month. We need you to take action today.

Your help is needed to block an unnecessary bill in Congress that would weaken the 1964 Wilderness Act and allow for logging, burning, and roads through giant sequoia groves in designated Wildernesses in California. Speak for the trees >>> wildernesswatch.salsalabs.org/hr2709/index...

Birds lay eggs in a diverse array of colors, patterns, sizes, and shapes. After looking at nearly 50,000 eggs from more than 1400 bird species, researchers in Science found that egg shape is related to flight ability. Learn more on #NationalBirdDay: https://scim.ag/3YUZkQc

NEW: Sen. Mark Kelly RESPONDS to Pete Hegseth for censuring him, cutting his military pension, threatening to demote his rank, and warning of possible criminal prosecution for telling soldiers to obey their oath.

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

When working for the State of Alaska you’re gonna deal with Nazi sympathizers and bullies. The union may be there for you, but they could also be Nazi sympathizers and bullies. Document everything and proceed with extreme caution. Maybe this why Alaska State agencies are such a mess? #akleg

What do Donald Trump and Mike Johnson have to say to families struggling to afford health insurance? Many Americans are deciding between paying rent or seeing a doctor, and House Democrats find that unacceptable.
