Princess Lisa Murkowski Says She’s Afraid, and We Should Be Afraid, Too. We’re Not.
As I’ve documented many times, Alaska is an odd place, politically. We’re reliably Republican in presidential elections.

Wednesday afternoon, while many were riveted by the heartbreaking remarks of Rachel Morin’s mother at the White House Press Briefing, the Department of Justice released information from Kilmar Abrego-Garcia’s 2019 arrest and deportation proceedings that should put a lot of the whisperings about the “Maryland Father’s” gang affiliations…
