Conoco workers on North Slope aim for union representation. United Steelworkers already represents Hilcorp workers there but this seems to be a first for Conoco. alaskapublic.org/news/economy...

Under a zero tolerance policy, the first Trump administration separated immigrant children from their families at the U.S.-Mexico border.

New data suggests separations now happen all over the country, often after little more than a traffic stop.

#akleg There is an Alaska connection to Adam Crum's sketchy $50m investment. DigitalBridge owns a controlling stake in Vertical Bridge which bought out 275 of GCI's wireless towers.

I'm not sure if this acts as a funnel towards a specific project or person but I hope the legislature can find out.

#akleg A good bit from the Sullivan healthcare article in the ADN. Love a good juxtaposed fact.
When it comes to proposed reforms, Sullivan did not name any policies that would aim to curtail the power of insurance companies. Nor did he name any policies that could be used to incentivize greater competition in the Alaska insurance market. The proposed policies that Sullivan listed include tightening income requirements for accessing tax credits; requiring that all insurance enrollees pay a monthly premium (currently, enrollees below a certain income threshold pay nothing in premiums); and banning undocumented migrants from using the Affordable Care Act plans, which is already outlawed.

As if Alaskans don’t pay enough in shipping— the Trump tariffs are brutal! I paid $92 for a Christmas present, then got hit with $42 in “import fees” after it shipped. I wouldn’t have bought it if I had known my total was actually $134, but I’m not asking a small business for a refund. Ugh. #AkLeg
