The @forestservice celebrates a birthday when President Theodore Roosevelt signed the Transfer Act of 1905. The agency manages national forests, watersheds and wildlife. Alaska is blessed to have almost 20% of the forested acreage in the US! #akleg #Birthday

'Cut the budget' or 'new revenues' are the only ways to decrease the decade-long trend of spending down savings or cutting the PFD. The fact is that the budget has been cut, flat-funded and declined in real $$$ growth since massive tax cuts to the oil and gas. #akleg

How many train conductors and silversmiths do we actually have in Alaska? I guess I qualify as that fisherman who donated to @MaryPeltola on the first day! 😀 🗳 #akleg

One of my heroes when I first got elected to the State House was Rep. @MaryPeltola. She was a young, bold energetic member from Western AK! She will be a strong leader in the Senate and a check against the current President and a fierce fighter for Alaskans! #akleg

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth. The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%. Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

Pope Leo said in a Christmas Eve sermon that the story of Jesus being born in a stable because there was no room at an inn should remind Christians that refusing to help the poor and strangers today is tantamount to rejecting God himself. For @Reuters

Leo has made care for immigrants and the poor key themes of his early papacy.

Thanks to 11th Airborne Division Commanding General John Cogbill for sending a division-wide communique about the challenging season for mental health and to keep in touch w/eachother. It is great that leadership within the Armed Forces does not stigmatize MH issues. #akleg

Happy Birthday to the US National Guard ! The Guard is the oldest military institution in the United States at 389 years old on December 13th! The recent Typhoon Halong Disaster shows what an important force the guard makes up in peace time. Thank you and HBD! #akleg
