Fairbanks area PM 2.5 air quality index early Sunday afternoon. Wildfire smoke abounds with AQIs mostly in the "unhealthy" to "very unhealthy" categories. Somehow, the fact that it's been worse in the past isn't much comfort at the moment. Graphic courtesy PurpleAir. #akwx #Smoke #Summer2025

They do this for all 9,386 soldiers who died.

I'm giving you a mission for this Memorial Day holiday weekend. I want you to talk to two people—friends, neighbors, cookout attendees—about why Trump's proposed budget would be a disaster for American kids.

We owe the next generation every chance, and this isn't it.
