Right, how can it be historical?

#akleg Alaskan politicians, please check out the absolutely eviscerating reception this has received and quietly mothball any similar efforts.

Dunleavy also directed that “all current guidance documents be published on the Alaska Online Public Notice System to ensure transparency and accountability.” The other rescinded order was implemented by Republican Gov. Sean Parnell in 2013. That order, like Dunleavy’s, instructed state agencies to avoid adopting unnecessary regulations.

#akleg Governor Dunleavy has issued an unnecessary order to reduce unnecessary orders. Fantastic governance.

Not fleeing: New report shows more wealthy residents in Mass., 2 years into 'millionaire's tax' Despite previous concerns, Massachusetts' "millionaire's tax" hasn't seemed to deter high-earners from continuing to live here, according to a new study from the Institute for Policy Studies.

1. The extra marginal tax rate will affect millionaires' daily lives almost not at all, which is why in reality none of them would leave the state.

2. When you have this much money, your accountant/financial folks are already making you as tax efficient as possible.

"We actually opened up that water pretty strongly."

Abbott sues to remove Houston lawmaker for leading redistricting quorum break The lawsuit alleges Gene Wu forfeited his office when he led the Democratic House caucus in fleeing the state over redistricting.

This attempt to replace democratically elected lawmakers is a dangerous effort to overturn elections and undermine our democracy.

It’s the will of the voters, not the will of Governor Abbott or President Trump.

Seattle Kraken’s mascot has close encounter with grizzly during video shoot in Katmai National Park A Seattle Kraken hockey player and the team’s mascot were approached by a young grizzly bear while fly fishing during a promotional video shoot in Alaska.

A Seattle Kraken hockey player and the team’s blue-haired troll mascot had a close call with a grizzly bear during a promotional video shoot in Alaska.

This is it. Freeze it in amber. Hang it in a museum. The ultimate expression of the NYT and the elite class behind it.

The utter moral failure of ceding power to Trump? Acceptable ... if it is done in a clever, savvy way!

Well. We've solved the Messinian salinity crisis but we've wiped out the continental "Lago Mare" facies and colonizer pinnipeds are pouring in.

True.

I particularly like the bit at the end.

#akleg "We're going to do more with less" is such a terrible call to action and it somehow thrived as a basis for conservative policy in Alaska.

I guess it sounds tough and scrappy at first but it really breaks down upon contact with reality.

So you’re telling me the Wizard of Oz presented itself as a towering force of overwhelming technology, only to be unmasked as just some guy, off-screen?

Whaaat. All these Alaska connections!

I just had the best pho of my life

#akleg Loving the celebratory mood around the state.

A handwritten note on a notecard that reads: Governor Dunleavy, Thank you so much for calling the special session in August. We were so afraid that waiting to deal with education until January 2026 would be too late to save school programs and jobs. Your foresight saved our schools and we appreciate everything you’ve done for Alaska’s children. Sincerely, Barbara Norton

My 70-something-year-old mom trolling the Governor 😂

Opinion: Courage and open primaries allowed the override of Gov. Dunleavy’s education funding veto Alaska legislators united across party lines and deserve enormous credit for having the courage to seek common ground with one another.

A white sticker with black text that reads, "If RFK Jr makes it so I have to rawdog this dumpster fire reality, I'm going for his left shoe & I'm shitting in it."

RFK Jr is in town apparently for a press conference with Murkowski & Sullivan tomorrow.

Unrelated but these tiny stickers (made by yours truly) are available for purchase at @thecommonscafe.bsky.social in Wasilla.

Go swing by for a little yummy drink & a couple of unhinged stickers.
