The illegal executions of Venezuelans in the Caribbean Sea by our military is not making a dent in the US's drug supply. It's a sideshow distracting from President Trump's pardons of criminals, like former President of Honduras, who brought tons to Alaska. #akleg #alaska #PeteHegseth #trumppardons

Alaska National Guard helping ICE generates an environment of fear. Not just for undocumented immigrants but for folks here legally and even for US citizens who might be mistaken for undocumented immigrants.

AK Guard to help ICE

“It’s going to increase fear, not only in the undocumented folks that might be in Anchorage & the rest of Alaska, but also fear in people who are here legally, and even U.S. citizens who might be mistaken for someone who might be undocumented.”

The problem with US healthcare is costs are too high, not that subsidies are too small. That said, cutting subsidies hurts those who can least afford it, sudden cuts to people’s insurance does not fix the problem. 2026 enrollment til Dec 15 at healthcare.gov

Joint Armed Services Committee received a letter from the Adjutant General for the state of Alaska Maj. Gen. Torrence Saxe. It explains that AK must have a reaction force of 100 instead of 350 by Jan. 1, and they will deploy to DC in March. We have questions but grateful for communication. #akleg

Thank you yo @repgray.bsky.social for publicly raising these questions. I believe the force is being assembled by order of the Trump Regime to violate the 1st Amendment rights of Alaskans!

Opinion: As Alaskans, we need information now about the National Guard’s orders to stand up a quick reaction force
Alaskans have a right to know why we require a force like this.
