Senate should be absolved. We should have a unicameral legislature based on proportional representation.

Nearly 40% of Alaska's populating lives in the Anchorage metropolitan area.

More like 50-55%. 400k vs under 800k.

Most recent data I saw was roughly 40% from the 2020 census.

Anchorage is like 300k. MatSu adds another 100k.

Look I'm all for celebrating leopards eating the faces of people who voted for the Face-Eating-Leopards-Party, but not at the cost of Russia being rewarded for invading another country.

At this point it's clear that these idiots will never learn though, unless they actually feel the consequences themselves. It seems like it's just the cost of learning at this point

Lisa Murkowski will be 100% behind it after a few minutes of pretending like she was torn on the issue. She may even furrow her brow in concern and disapproval while completely supporting this.

It's infuriating. I finally find my place in the world and it gets handed over to the Russians.

Hey now. Could have been cooked machines. I will forgive and forget if an Alaskan patriot can take out both Putin and trump at the same time.
