Interesting discussion w/lawmakers from the states about their consumer costs. Every state is combating affordability issues though AK is more acute. #akleg

Pope Leo XIV called for robust regulation of artificial intelligence and for its developers to work for the common good rather than profit, issuing a sweeping manifesto on safeguarding humankind as the technology impacts everything from work to war. apnews.com/article/pope-ai-tā¦

This is amazing history. Stew Rothman did some of my first photos for when I ran for office at 24 and then was a voice on one of my first radio commercials! Legendary! #akleg

1970 KTVF footage of Great Tanana River Raft Race (aka Raft Classic), of drunk people with homemade rafts slowly racing from Fairbanks to Nenana. It was canceled after two teens drowned in 1971, then restarted in 1982 and ran through 1992. #alaskahistory #alaska

It should be stated that the Senate only got the AKLNG tax cuts in the last two months of a two year session. The last pipeline with @exxonmobil and @conocophillips took more than two years. #akleg
The Alaska Legislature kicked off a special session Thursday to continue working on a key priority of Gov. Mike Dunleavy that didnāt pass in the 121-day regular session: tax cuts for the Alaska LNG project.

Yes. Very disappointing. It was a bill with hundreds of hearings and 20 years worth of study just to be vetoed. The Senate has only had the AKLNG bill for 2 months and the Governor wants us to pass it. #akleg
The Alaska State Legislature gathered this afternoon in a joint session for an override vote on Governor Dunleavy's veto of HB78, the public pension bill. All House Majority members voted to override the veto, but the override failed, 33-27. 40 votes were needed.

Alaska is the Land of the Midnight Sun! #akleg
May 11
The Sun rose over Utqiagvik, the northernmost city in the United States, on Sunday and will not set again until August 2.
In Utqiagvik, the Sun has now reached a point in the year where it stays above the horizon all day and all night.
Normally, the Sun sets because Earth rotates and your part of the planet turns away from it. But near the Arctic, during summer, Earth is tilted toward the Sun. That tilt keeps places like Utqiagvik facing sunlight continuously.
So although the Sun appears to dip very low in the sky around 1: 48- a.m., it never actually disappears below the horizon. By 2: 57- a.m., it starts climbing higher again.
This means residents will have 24-hour daylight until August 2 , no true nighttime sunsets for more than two months. This natural phenomenon is known as the midnight sun.

Maternal mortality rates in the US are horrifying compared to our other wealthy states. Alaska is also very bad because of the rates among Native Alaskan mothers. š #akleg

Senate Resources has heard about tax breaks for the AKLNG at more than 20 meetings. The House Resources Committee chaired by @RepMaxineDibert 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

Nonprofits that rely on state grants are regularly paid months late, hampering their ability to provide services. A bill that passed the Alaska House seeks to change that by requiring the state to pay out grants within 30 days ā or else incur penalties. adn.com/politics/alaska-legiā¦
