NOAA’s annual Arctic Report Card shows the Arctic continuing to warm far faster than the rest of the planet. From declining sea ice to thawing permafrost, these changes matter for Alaska's communities and beyond.

The EPA just canceled $280M in grants for rural Alaska — funding for asbestos cleanup, renewable energy, and basic water + housing upgrades. These weren’t extras — they were essential. Leaders must restore this support. Alaska’s future depends on it. More: www.adn.com/business-eco...

The agency has created new streams of money to benefit rural Alaska, but affected villages are skeptical it will help.

500+ Alaskans gathered at the Citizen Town Hall in Anchorage, eager to question our federal representatives about the effects of the reconciliation bill they supported. Despite all being invited, none attended or even sent a rep. The crowd frequently erupted into chants of "Vote Them Out" & "Shame!"

The biggest story few are talking about: CBO projects that the government's interest rate never exceeds 3.6% over 30 years. If rates remain at 4.5%, that adds $40 trillion more to interest costs over 30 years - as much as adding a second Defense Department.

Collins: Do you think someone should be fired over this?
Buttigieg: Absolutely… if there’s not accountability for a screw up like this, especially from a president who used to fire people on television for sport, what are we even doing here..

Swalwell: Hegseth is still the Secretary of Defense? This moron texts out our war plans, putting our soldiers at risk, and he’s not gone?
Every one on that chat—they just fire off texts not knowing who is on the chat? They all should be fired if they don’t resign.

Suozzi on DOGE: "They're cutting and doing some things that I think are very irresponsible. And I don't think it's smart for us to further empower that effort ... they're gonna keep on cutting more people. That's what their plan is. And they're gonna end up paying a price for it."

I’m a lifelong moderate Democrat, pro-development, and pro-choice, etc, Tonight, as a good moderate middle, watched Fox News & in 30 secs, I lost my mind. How do they have a license to be called a news station? They spent the whole time bashing Democrats—it’s not fair, not right, and not news!

Out of sight, out of mind! 🤔 It’s fascinating how some folks reject 'illegals' for supposedly causing problems and draining resources, yet they seem unaware of the hefty price tag taxpayers face for housing them offshore. nxslink.thehill.com/view/6230d94...
President Trump said he is signing an executive order on Wednesday to prepare a massive facility at Guantanamo Bay to be used to house deported migrants.
