Focusing on Juneau, this article highlights what the lack of smart oil and other taxes is doing to Alaska. I think AK is a failing state in part because the current governor has so harmed youth and college education that capable young people don't want to move here. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/25/u...
I'm mourning the permanent loss of NW Alaska's Arctic region's wild lands as the NPRA will be covered with oil exploration and likely development after today's lease sale. This is a direct result of Trump's overturning of the previous, scientifically sound, management plan.
Good and thanks! Alaska’s U.S. senators back effort to waive $100k visa fee for public school employees alaskabeacon.com/2026/03/17/a...
The federal govt didn't do its homework on the Strait of Hormuz and now it may make a similar mistake by not studying the cost and other problems with the proposed Ambler road. The mining companies could go bankrupt and potential returns then would be gone. www.miningnewsnorth.com/story/2026/0...
Alaska’s legislators need to know how expensive the Ambler road project will be. www.adn.com/business-eco...
Good news for Alaska's environment including its Cook Inlet beluga whales! #Alaska www.nytimes.com/2026/03/04/c...
Alaska’s Governor Dunleavy spent nearly $30 mill. in state dollars on this ferry project that may not be finished and that communities don’t want. That $28.5 mill., if reappropriated as state match $, could fund $285 mill. in roads/bridges statewide.

Tears falling down my cheeks in Anchorage, Alaska.
Do we know for sure that the Alaskan paratroopers on standby would not be going to Greenland instead of Minnesota? Why would you need paratroopers in the US? Asking from Anchorage.
Alaska Natives speak up against ICE and ask their Native corporations to divest from ICE. Excellent.

Unbelievable and clueless. But courts will reject it.

Ice Out for Good vigil in Anchorage, Alaska. 13 degrees and a packed parking lot.
$50 mill for one of the smallest schoools in ASD vs. $25 mill for needed upgrades of the existing school. No excuse for this terrible Anchorage School Board decision holds up. www.adn.com/alaska-news/...
Good summary of how we should look at Trump’s international actions: Trump Is Falling for a Trap We Can All See Coming www.nytimes.com/2026/01/06/o...
Why does the @washingtonpost.com not have any coverage of the newly released Jack Smith interview? Do they not have the reporters to cover it or are they burying it today and will write about it in a few days? Very unimpressive.
Well done!
What is it with big earthquakes in Anchorage in late November around 8 in the morning? At least I wasn’t in the shower this time. #2018 #2025
Why can't crime/safety be non-political? Chicago and most cities with National Guard deployments are safer than Anchorage, stats show. Take note, Alaska delegation. alaskabeacon.com/2025/10/24/c...
Matt Schultz is an excellent D candidate to challenge Cong. Nick Begich who represents Alaska in its one seat. Check out alaskabeacon.com/2025/10/21/a... and www.mattschultzforalaska.com
Anchorage No Kings.
No Kings protest from Anchorage, Alaska
biggest one yet 💙👍
My thoughts are with the people of Western Alaska. If emergency funds are needed, or funding needs to be reimbursed, I will absolutely support it this coming session. I hope and trust that our emergency services personnel will do all that they can.
