The political pendulum inevitability swings. The House coalition had power for the last six years. Now the Republicans have power. Senate Republicans had power for the last ten years. Now a coalition has power. #akleg

Was glad to see my friend on the Big Island! He’s opening a record store with some friends. I know it will be a hit!

In a small world encounter, I just saw former Director Gail Fenumiai at the pool on the Big Island. She’s living her best life! #akleg

Amy Demboski, who hired to sue , has effectively made herself unemployable in politics, and probably for anyone at all. Demoted by and now fired by Bronson, she better hope she gets the radio gig lol. I’m team Dave on this one. #akleg

Someone should nominate for speaker on the next ballot! The U.S. Constitution doesn’t require the speaker to be a member of the House. The speaker is also third in line to the presidency!

In 1855 it took 2 months and 133 ballots to elect a speaker. #118thCongress #mccarthy
More than 300 votes left to go and already no one has enough votes to get elected speaker. First time this has happened in 100 years. Going to be a long day. Maximum loose!
Damn Stefanik going hard for McCarthy. She’s pissed he probably doesn’t have the votes on the first round lol

So I guess Lake Otis (and lots of other roads) will be down to one lane until the snow melts?

I’m a flight to Chicago in the middle seat. A husband and wife are on both sides of me talking and passing food back and forth. I asked if they wanted to sit together. They said “no we like the window and aisle.” Im taking a bite of the next fucking sandwich they pass over me.

I was playing cards 10 years ago with a bunch of executives years older than me. At one point one made a reference to the 1980s. I mentioned that I was born in 1984. Another one looked at me and said, "Wait. You're 28?" I said yes. He then said, "Jesus Christ. That's a hard 28."

Was on Lake Otis earlier. It’s down to one lane in each direction. Traffic was backed up as far as you could see in both directions. Took 25 minutes to get from Midtown Mall to Lake Otis and Tudor. We’re living in a failed city.

So are all these two way streets around Anchorage that are now one way streets because of the snow going to remain that way until the snow melts? Or will the city clear the snow and haul it off?

Dang the Anchorage Press went under today. I was a big fan of the Press back in the day when Nick Coltman ran it. Meanwhile the now has a blue check mark! We’re not going anywhere. Support local journalism.

An accidental text message sent to the wrong legislator revealed an attempt by freshman representatives to form a House majority. And it's as loose as you can imagine. #akleg alaskalandmine.com/landmines/acci

A 1969 snowstorm caused major political damage to then-New York Mayor John Lindsay. Sound familiar?

The Muni needs to start towing every car covered in snow that’s parked in the street. I’ve seen multiple that have clearly been there for a week. They prevent the plows from properly plowing the roads. needs to get on this.

Snow accumulation at my house since it started on Tuesday. I’ve lived in Anchorage since 2004. Have never seen it snow like this.

Those of use who live in Anchorage are effectively living in a failed city. There’s a major housing crisis, homeless crisis, school crisis, and snow plowing crisis - all of which have been happening for years.

Only in Alaska will you see a massive snow plow at a drive-up coffee shop during a snow storm. Dude has a long night ahead of him.
