@GeoRebekah Yikes, AIPAC couldn’t get a better looking handler for Haley Stevens than this thing?

He makes John Fetterman look like a movie star.

ICE is not about immigration. Think about the difference between an arrest and a kidnapping. ICE is about normalizing a paramilitary force on our streets.

ROCK HILL, S.C. — A protester was just removed from President Trump’s rally.

He shouted “Virginia Giufffe,” a Jeffrey Epstein survivor.

Trump claimed it was a paid protester.

Held a press conference today and brought along our actual heating oil bill. The total to fill the tank: over $1,400. Heating oil is seven dollars a gallon right now, because of a war in Iran that Congress never authorized and nobody asked for.

When asked directly if he supports how it’s been handled, Paul LePage answered: “I don’t know, I mean I’m here, not there.” Meanwhile he’s taken $48,000 from the oil and gas industry while families here are choosing between staying warm and buying groceries.

I’ll vote to end this war in Congress, and I’ll fight to bring these costs down.

Meet Annautaq, an orphaned Pacific walrus calf whose unexpected discovery during USGS research in Alaska saved his life.

Last month, USGS biologist Tony Fischbach and Violet Anniskett, an Illisavik College intern, were surveying a beach after a storm moved a walrus herd from the area. While sampling carcasses for a study on harmful algal toxin levels in Pacific walruses, Violet discovered a live, orphaned calf hiding between two adult carcasses.

With approval from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the local Iñupiaq community, the pair cared for the calf for nearly four days. They dispersed the gulls scavenging him, walked a half mile to the nearest shelter (an abandoned building open to the elements), and protected him from polar bears until the storm passed and a local rescue team could boat him across the lagoon. From there, Alaska Sea Life Center (ASLC) vet techs crated him onto a small plane to rehabilitation. Violet joined the journey to ease his transition.

Violet grew up near walrus herds and first joined USGS surveys on a high school class field trip. This September, she joined the USGS team to gain professional experience working with the wildlife central to Iñupiaq culture. Her community agreed to have the orphan saved with the condition that they name him to preserve their connection to him. Violet chose Annautaq, an Iñupiaq word meaning axe, in honor of her father’s Iñupiaq name.

USGS scientists monitor Pacific walrus populations in support of Marine Mammal Protection Act reporting and management requirements. This work depends on partnerships with Alaska Native communities, whose generational knowledge shapes how we understand and protect these animals.

After rehabilitation at the ASFC, Annautaq has moved to his long-term home, where he will serve as a species ambassador, helping people learn about walruses and their connection to Alaska's people and changing marine environments.

All work was conducted under USFWS permit MA3376D.

Where I'm from, you don't buy wood from people who break their word, screw people over, and cheat.

I wouldn't buy a cord of wood from Susan Collins. And I sure as hell wouldn't vote for her for U.S. Senate.

Alaska's Senate race: a second "Dan Sullivan" filed to run against the real one, and Democrat Mary Peltola's campaign may have recruited him.

Trump…demanded she be prosecuted.

Next morning the GOP governor ordered an investigation.

The Regime is hard at work.

Our job?

VOTE.

262 days.

It’s been 262 days since you were airlifted to BC Children’s Hospital.
262 days since we were told, “We did everything we could, but we don’t think she’s going to make it through the night.”

Since then, I’ve watched you fight for every single one of those days.

251 days ago, you opened your eye, moved it, and shifted your leg only to be rushed back for emergency surgery that morning when hydrocephalus set in.

238 days ago, you were extubated and breathed on your own for the first time.

230 days ago, you felt the sun on your face again.

224 days ago, the cranioplasty we had planned turned into yet another emergency when an infection was discovered.

214 days ago, your EVD was finally removed.

213 days ago, you sat on the edge of the bed with a little help, and I wrapped my arms around you for the first time since the morning I left for work before any of this began.

191 days ago, the NG tube came out, and I saw your beautiful face completely clear of tubes and tape.

179 days ago, your prosthetic skull was placed. Your fifth surgery, and the one that finally stuck. After that, things slowly began to feel possible again.

145 days ago, you smiled for the first time (intentionally) while we played thumb war.

140 days ago, I wheeled you off hospital grounds for the very first time.

61 days ago, I heard your voice again.

40 days ago, we celebrated your 13th birthday at the Foo Fighters.

And today, today you’re being released.

There was never a day I stopped believing we would get here. The road ahead is still long, but this is a milestone no one thought we would reach. Maya, you are the bravest person I know. You are an inspiration to so many people. Giving up was never an option for me, and it clearly never was for you either. You refused to accept the words we heard 262 days ago when you came out of the OR. Look at you, my girl. You blew every expectation out of the water.

Thank you to the incredible nurses, doctors, and therapists who walked every step of this with us. Thank you to everyone who supported Maya and our family we could not have done this without each and every one of you.

Now it’s time to leave these hospital walls behind and keep moving forward, Maya Bear.
I love you forever and always.

—Dad ❤️
