And I'll be at it here throughout session. Follow my newsletter for even more #akleg wonkery at www.akmemo.com

after spending all day working on a video about the sullivan lawsuit.

I met Jim Barker almost 40 yrs ago at a dance festival in St. Mary's. I'll never forget watching him at work with his camera. His ability to capture the heart & soul of another culture inspired my own work. With help from KYUK's Evan Erickson, here's our tribute to Jim. www.knba.org/news/2026-10...

More on Team Soft Staffers: “More important, these Democrats should come to terms with the reality that sometimes, when you work for a busy, prominent person in a high-stress environment, your job really is to feed the lizard.” #aksen #akelect

ME: So I can't put anything else on the scale? ANUBIS: No. Just your heart ME: No money, no good deeds? ANUBIS: No ME: What about steam points? I've got a ton of steam points ANUBIS: The point is to be lighter than the feather ME: I was just hoping to finally do something with the steam points

has anyone considered that mary peltola may have just been possessed by the ghost of don young? just askin' questions

Oh look! Trumpism is thisclose to going down in flames! NYT: "HOLD UP! Let's do a petty hit piece on a historic race just to make EXTRA SURE we preserve the status quo of the unmitigated hellscape we've been trapped in for over a decade."

Frankly kinda wild to hear Treg Taylor, who got on the ballot despite knowingly violating Alaska financial disclosure laws, complaining that no one trusts Alaska’s elections system because of “all the games being played.” Like, cmon. #akgov #akelect

Here are four more entries from the 1927 Alaska flag contest won by Benny Benson. By Jim Cavanaugh, Madeleine Calkins, Wilfred Gent, and Regina Lindholme. #alaskahistory #alaska

The University of Alaska Anchorage still has no booking from President Trump, a university official said today. Trump said last week that he would come to Alaska and campaign for Sen. Dan Sullivan before the general election. Trump used UAA for a 2022 campaign rally. #akleg

man, credit to the the alaska landmine when it's due they have cameras everywhere even got my live reaction to the Division of Elections' latest claims that they definitely aren't doing everything in their power to boost friendly Republicans

My #akleg group chat is getting an earful from me this morning. "Why THE FUCK was Dunleavy at the presser?" "What was a disgraced AG doing there? "A misplaced COMMA?"

Guess it was just a... Tregnancy Scare?

Update: Reynoso has also dropped out. That elevates Jim McDermott, a Libertarian, to the ballot. It’ll be Begich Hill Hafner McDermott #akelect

"Tiny Tim, who DESERVED to die,"

Also, looks like Bill Hill will still have a crowded race against US Rep. Nick Begich. Ahead of the deadline, Democrat John B Williams has dropped out. That leaves Democrat and currently imprisoned felon Eric Hafner in the race, elevating Democrat Yaquelin Reynoso to the general. #akelect

Also worth noting, amid all the action with Taylor getting disqualified, Republican candidate for House District 22 (East Anchorage) Jose Tagle has been disqualified. Tagle similarly refused to properly file his financial disclosure. That'll leave Democratic Rep. Ted Eischeid unopposed. #akelect

Mary Peltola will be the only Democrat in Alaska's race for the U.S. Senate after progressive Democrat David Leslie dropped out, clearing the way for Republican candidate Gerald Heikes to finish out the general election ballot. It'll be: Peltola Sullivan Sullivan Heikes #akelect

The withdrawal deadline has passed — as marked by JBER playing the Star-Spangled Banner — and now we're just waiting on official word on whether Jodi Taylor has successfully stepped in for Treg Taylor. Otherwise, it looks like Crum's in the gov race. Bishop has dropped out. #akelect

You don’t really see people walking around, bent over, peering through a big magnifying glass at clues anymore these days.

This reminds me that I'm not remotely prepared for the non-gamer "public discourse" around GTA6. I feel like Clemenza preparing for the mob war. A whole new generation of bad takes. "These things have to happen every 5 year, 10 years. It's been 13 years since the last one."

Alaska's certified elections results have been posted, and we're now waiting on 5 p.m., the deadline for candidates in the top-four primary to stay in or withdraw: www.documentcloud.org/documents/28... #akleg #akelect

I've heard just about every combo of potential outcomes in what the race for governor will actually look like, and that was all before it turned out Taylor may be an illegal (candidate). Frankly, it all feels a little like 5D chess with a non-zero chance that we somehow end up with Palin as gov.

#akleg Another day, another Dunleavy AG fallen on hard times.

Nation’s Overthinkers Convene To Determine What That’s Supposed To Mean https://theonion.com/nation-s-overthinkers-convene-to-determine-what-that-s-1819578931/

if elections time is anything like journalist-telling-their-partner-when-they're-gonna-finally-be-done time, we could be seeing results around 9-930

Months after Republican Gov. Mike Dunleavy vetoed campaign finance limits, Alaskans got the final word. Ballot Measure 1, putting a $2,000 cap on contributions, is passing with more than 70% of the vote from Tuesday's primary, carrying all but one of the 40 House districts. #akleg #akelect
