Also some very serious experts have been talking about the high threat of nuclear war. People are so overwhelmed by everything that this is registering but it should. #akleg
Come on think about it? We have strategic military bases here in Alaska. They’re already using AI poorly in the Iran war bombing. Maybe this should be taking this more seriously? #akleg

My #akleg Senator was angry when I suggested AK should tax millionaires saying there weren’t enough (22,300 households) to tax. About 8.18% of AK households are millionaires paying the least taxes. People argue we can’t change because it will hurt the people already being hurt. Alaska is regressive.
A study from King's College London shows that AI opts for nuclear threats or detonation in 95% of geopolitical conflict scenarios. Today I tried to ban AI from accessing nuclear infrastructure in Alaska -- my amendment failed since folks felt it didn't fit the bill, but I will keep trying. #akleg
This Wk's Top 3 | Burning a hole in their pockets, SB274 ignores the fundamental problem & lots of numbers, but the #AKLNG advocates are failing the assignment. #akleg T'row, 6:05a on the Michael Dukes Show at buff.ly/j5LU9X7

That’s right Alaska. Costly pipelines drive up household gas bills. #akleg
Dunleavy proposes 92 percent property tax cut for gas line
NO! Stop the giveaways to billion dollar corporations. Alaska is a failed petrostate with no money. You know who isn’t failing and has money? It’s not the State or Alaskans. #akleg
Republicans are truly the most ignorant bunch of people ever. We’ve been trying this no taxes crap since 1980. It has never worked, so more of that! #akleg
🤣 Representative Potato McCabe has Republican trickle down economics thoughts. How’s our broke a$$ state doing with that? “Maybe just maybe” try the opposite. #akleg
And the "Don't give AI nukes and nuclear power plants" amendment fails on a 37N-1YGRAY.
Wake up, babe, new 1 vs all vote just dropped.

House Minority Leader Rep. Johnson: "Since when did not paying taxes and not paying more taxes make you a freeloader?"
Which feels pretty on-the-nose for the state's current financial situation.

This Week's Column| Contrary to what some might expect, fully priced, Gov. Dunleavy's proposed sales tax takes less from middle & lower-income Alaska families than Rep. Galvin's proposed "education tax." We explain why. #akleg
🧵 The House Floor is underway with House Bill 280, an attempt to redo the online corporate income tax bill that Dunleavy vetoed.
They're starting out with amendments.

That is such a good law. I wish #Akleg would adopt it but naw. Too many #GOP #trumpfiles.
Self-claimed "PFD supporters" who also claim to be "No Taxers" (eg, Bernadette!) aren't either. The deficits are too big. It's one form of taxation or another. Prioritizing #NoTaxes just means they accept cont'd regressive taxes thru PFD cuts. #akleg

As he does, Javier Blas looking ahead. "Unless the US and Israel’s Iran conflict ends very soon, oil consumption needs to adjust to lower supply — perhaps much lower. Enter demand destruction." #akleg
