Alaskans heard that the AKLNG is now a "federal government project" and this morning we hear that the US is in talks and financing a project owned by Russia. So are we talking about a Russian federal government project?! #akleg

Through efforts like voter education, providing passport services and an early-voting push, the Alaska Federation of Natives is seeking to turn the tide on years of flagging turnout in rural communities. www.adn.com/politics/202...

adn.comAlaska Native leaders work to boost voting turnout as rural communities face longstanding barriersTens of thousands of voters across Alaska have already cast their ballots. But in rural villages, challenges remain.

So President Trump - who is to blame for rising gas prices, an endless war in Iran and making billions in office while most are just scraping by - will sue AK if Mary Peltola beats Sen Sullivan by a slim margin? #akleg

So President Trump sues AK to block anyone else from winning the election except for US Senator Sullivan? Well @marypeltola.com know what to do! #akleg

I think that they may have been turkeys but definitely some kind of poultry-class kazoo crew. How embarrassing to be chased off by costumed birds and frogs?! #akleg

These people dressed as chickens with kazoos were the perfect way to chase off nazis without giving them the scary confrontation they were trying to create and film. No notes, thank you chicken kazoo crew 🖤 #NoKings #FuckNazis #Alaska

It really does take a village to help our developing minds grow into good citizens. Thank you for everyone who participates. Tomorrow at 9am, school district employees are going to begin their first day of schoo! A 'positive picket' will begin around 7:30am in front of the Hering Auditorium. #akleg

BREAKING: A federal court blocked the DOJ from illegally seizing the private data of millions of Connecticut voters. 16 out of 16 courts have stopped the Trump administration from stealing our personal data.

Reading the Governor Jay Hammond book about Alaska as a free state w/ownership of bountiful resources. Senate will vote on report of 3 Rs, 2 Is and one D House/Senate committee members. IMO the bill got worse for Alaskans. I will hear more about the bill today before a final up/down vote. #akleg

BREAKING: The Alaska Supreme Court has affirmed a lower court's ruling Dan J. Sullivan is eligible to run for U.S. Senate and shall be placed on the August 18 primary ballot.

It shouldn't be thought of as a loss if bills do not ultimately pass. It's not a batting average. It's more like a ERA. And there a lot of terrible ideas oit there! #akleg

Of the 685 bills introduced in the two-year legislative cycle that began last year, 114 passed. That’s about one out of every six bills. Here's what several measures that failed to pass this year would have done.

A Special Session Proclamation has been issued by Governor Dunleavy. The topic is solely the House version of the AKLNG bill at this time. The Senate hasn't seen this version of the bill and it is still in the House Finance Committee. #akleg

The Senate Resources Committee has heard about tax breaks for the AKLNG at more than 20 meetings. The House Resources Committee chaired by Representative Maxine Dibert has had a similar number of meetings. Fairbanks may benefit greatly-but only if a 45-mile line is also part of the project! #akleg

Next stop is the Senate and House Judiciary Committees. Senate is today 5/1 at 1:30pm and House is Monday 5/4 at 1pm. You can watch at www.akl.tv or you can send comments to SenateJudiciary@akleg.gov and HouseJudiciary@akleg.gov to put in the public record! #akleg

I think that the SOA did not do enough to protect the confidential information of Alaska voters. #akleg

DOJ demanded voter files from all 50 states. DOJ sued 31 states for refusing their demand. My law firm intervened to protect voters in those cases. DOJ is now 0-5. My firm is 5-0. Lesson: When we fight we win.
