“we will pay any price….to assure the success and survival of liberty.” Is this still true? Do we prize liberty or do we prize power and purse? No more clear test than the choice between Ukraine and Russia. Abandon Ukraine and we abandon liberty. Eventually even our own.
“I really want Anchorage to believe in itself. I really want it to be excited about its future. I want it to invest in itself.”

I came out in 1992 at 17. Back then, I never dreamed I’d ever be a husband, a father, a veteran, or a legislator. So grateful to live in a country where a life like mine is possible. Let’s make sure the next generation has the same opportunities. 🇺🇸#NationalComingOutDay2026

Historian of fascism here. This is an escalation of an attempt to normalize extreme violence, ritualize violence, militarize the country, and make violence entertaining so when they ask you to commit violence in their name, you will be ready.
Trump & Hegseth aren't just proposing to livestream an execution for people who want to watch.
They're proposing to broadcast a man being shot to death, even if deserved by our system, and even if you agree with this version of the death penalty, knowing that the footage will be clipped, shared, and pushed into social media feeds.
Including those of our children. The gruesome image will be everywhere.
Parents will have virtually no control over whether their kids see it. Once those images are released, there is no taking them back.
Hope all the parents in the Trump Admin are cool with that.
If Pete Hegseth comes to Alaska make sure he knows he is not welcome. He has proven himself repeatedly to be the worst Secretary of Defense in US history. Any elected official who stands with him should be held accountable.

“Pete Hegseth has brought great shame upon himself and the U.S. military. All elected officials who support his continued tenure deserve condemnation.”

“Alaskans are dying at rates well over 2x the national average from alcohol. We have terribly high numbers of related harms, like domestic violence, sexual assault, suicide, child abuse. These things are not caused by alcohol but are certainly related to alcohol.” -Tiffany Hall
Alcohol costs AK $2.4 billion every year & kills more people than opioids, meth, & other illicit substances combined." Tiffany Hall is CEO of @RecoverAK & the current chair of the @USAlcoholPolicy. Listen:

“Are we gonna enforce [AI] competition? Are we going to keep people liable for what they do? Or are we gonna move into the Wild West of nobody is responsible, but also they're allowed to squash the competition?”
Listen to Dr. Kevin Berry on the East Anchorage Book Club Podcast.
“If AI has market power, if nobody can compete with it, it will get monopolies in everything.”

I spoke on a panel today at the US Alcohol Policy Alliance Conference in DC. My panel was designed to help attendees understand how to get meaningful alcohol-related legislation passed. This is my answer, basically for how to champion any issue. #akleg #USAPA #alcoholpolicy

Jay Brause & Gene Dugan are Anchorage LGBTQ rights icons. Jay was responsible for changing the name of the Gay and Lesbian Center to Identity & leading that organization. In 1985 Gene founded Out North, an award-winning arts organization still in AK. buzzsprout.com/1875228/episo…

In Alaska, PAs are now PHYSICIAN ASSOCIATES. We are no longer “physician assistants.” The title “Physician Associate” more honestly reflects the role PAs play in Alaska’s healthcare system. #akleg #physicianassociate #physicianassistant
