Trump just used that word in a Michigan rally urging people to vote for the incumbent R. So what is he saying? Michigan voters are smarter? I don't know. I've visited Alaska and the people I met were strong willed and minded, fiercely independent and love the paradise in which they live. No one is getting 5K if Republicans win, not going to happen. SO don't believe it. It won't happen. I'm old. I seen many presidents and none are perfect, not one. But we have never had one so exploitive, so vulgar and so unconstitutional. When politicians make promises, think about what will be the opposition in any legislative session, be it state or federal. All politicians lie, they just do. Alaska, I'll be thinking about you come 11/3

Over the last week I’ve had 3 people swing by our house and ask these exact questions, with each one progressively getting more unfamiliar with candidates they are talking about.

Judge Gleason order on Democrats’ motion to expedite consideration of DOJ attempt to rig the election for Dan Sullivan (🤮incumbent🤮).

She grants Dems' motion for expedited consideration and notes DOJ waited four months to sue over the ballot.

Knocked on doors today for JKT, Mary, and the lot. Most people dont come to the door. Hardly anyone says who they support. Fewer still will talk with you. But when people did ask for info, it was awesome. I got the opportunity to tell them why I support the candidates I'm volunteering for.

Massive win in my book. Some guy told me about the history of the pipeline and another dude gave me some Mallomars.

Ready for this train wreck to end. Thanks for the fire starters from both sides.

I'm interested in going into nursing and trying to choose between UAA and APU. As of now, UAA offers a bachelor's and an associate's, while APU only offers an associate's. They both have a bridge program from rn to bachelor's as well. The price isn't too concerning since they would be around the same for me cause I'm an Alaskan resident. I'm not sure if I want to do a bachelor's or just go get an associate's to see how much I like nursing before I get a bachelor's. Ultimately, I can't imagine myself going to school for another 4 years, but I don't want to cut myself short. Any advice on how to choose between the degree types and schools?

I’ve lived in Alaska for three years and have been fatbiking in the same amount of time. I’ve completed the Tanana River Challenge 25 & 50 milers, and want to sign up for the WM100 and Susitna 100.

Obviously there’s no gear requirements for the WM100, but there’s “the list” for the Su. Thankfully I’m able to borrow someone’s -20F sleeping bag and I only need to obtain a few small items to appease the requirements. But it got me wondering what brands/setups other Alaska folks carry on their bikes?

I’m particularly interested to see what people bring for the 3,000-calorie food carry required by the Su and the weight/space considerations given to said food.

What brand sleeping bags, pads, headlamps and blinking lights, water reservoirs, etc are you carrying? Do you go with a seat bag or rear rack? Do you bring dry layers to change into mid-race? (I’m a very sweaty human and this will be crucial for me).

Interested in your whole setup :) cheers.

The former chief executive of a $25bn US gas export venture has accused Russian energy giant Novatek of secretly controlling the project, triggering the mass resignation of the company’s leadership over fears it is violating US sanctions.

The company, Polar Train LNG, is developing a gas export terminal on Alaska’s North Slope, part of a Trump administration initiative to expand US energy exports to Asia and strengthen its position in global energy markets. The venture was launched with the involvement of Gentry Beach, an investor with ties to Donald Trump’s family.

It has also featured in high-level negotiations between Washington and Moscow over potential business deals that could help secure an end to Russia’s war in Ukraine, according to people familiar with the discussions.

Polar LNG was launched in March with plans to repurpose a partially constructed Novatek gas terminal for installation in Alaska. The company sought permission from US sanctions authorities at the Treasury department to negotiate with the Russian group but had not yet received approval.

Joel Riddle, Polar LNG’s American chief executive, told the FT that he discovered Novatek was already financing the venture and directing its operations before the necessary approvals were obtained.

He resigned in September, followed by almost the entire executive leadership team, including chief financial officer Dan Chandra, executive vice-president Jim Smith and executions manager Jody Trantham. The allegations raise questions about the extent to which Russian commercial interests are already seeking a foothold in the US energy industry before any agreement has been reached.

What time do you release your kids, and get porch activities ready? I’ve seen kids as early as 4pm some years ago (mostly weekends) or as late as 7 (because wrangling toddlers is like herding cats).
