I find President Trump's recent hostility toward Ukraine's fight to survive Russia's brutal war of aggression an intolerable betrayal of the values our nation has long represented and fought to preserve. I

Finally, a few prominent Alaskan Republicans are saying it out loud. Sen. Dan Sullivan is afraid to stand up to Donald Trump. Sure, they’re arguing that crossing the president could negatively affect Alaska’s economy. But that doesn’t explain his fealty to Trump when he wasn’t president.

The essential question facing voters in the top race is whether or not Mary Peltola is equipped to serve Alaskans in the U.S. Senate. Of course, there are a number of considerations, many of which have been discussed in prior commentaries. But today, three red flags stand out.

The political flyers overflowing my mailbox, the pop-up videos overwhelming my mood every time I check sports scores on a website, the campaign ads overpowering my senses when I listen to my favorite commercial radio stations, they are making October a thoroughly depressing and miserable month.

Sen. Dan Sullivan, alongside 46 of his Republican colleagues, has voted in near-total compliance with the Trump administration. His notable breaks were opposing a Justice Department compensation fund and funding the White House ballroom.

A trip to the grocery store, gas station or a monthly utility bill shows how quickly everyday expenses add up.

Too many politicians spend their airtime and political capital on trendy national issues that have little to do with helping the people they represent. They’re after social media hits, invitations to the fanciest fundraising events, and TV spots.

But his speech that ran on for more than 80 minutes was mostly about himself. It also wasn’t surprising that he made no serious effort to address the war in Iran or its effect on the energy prices.

It was hard as a kid to accept life when I didn’t get what I wanted, when my parents did not think my behavior was worthy of high praise and honors, when I did not receive the rewards that I thought I was due.

The October ballot was not a referendum on taxes in general. It was more precise than that, and the Assembly should read it carefully.

Dan Sullivan makes a big deal out of having been in the Marine Corps. In the meantime, he gives his unwavering support to the most corrupt administration in U.S. history, led by an individual who has no respect for the Constitution, democratic principles, or rule of law.

Back in the early ‘60s when I was just becoming politically aware, my father told me earnestly that the real difference between U.S. representatives and senators was, “the House members think about the next election, you want senators that think about the next generation.”
