@AdamSchefter Respect @AdamSchefter a lot. But no one has asked #JustinJefferson. He’s competitive, an athlete, seems like a good guy, and just might want to return when he can to help his teammates. Even if they’re not in the playoffs. Give him the character credit of that possibility.

Here’s the other unspoken issue that could potentially lengthen Justin Jefferson’s absence: if the Vikings don’t win games and stay competitive, what is Jefferson’s incentive to rush back when he did not land the contract he wanted? His absence could last longer than expected.

@KassSmiley You totally don’t. I can live with what I’ve stood for - 16 year record on = & children’s rights . Defended women’s choice where it’s decided, at the state level, for 17 years, and represented women on choice in the Supreme Court. I get to say it when my life gets cherry-picked.

@Les_Gara_InAk Wait, Why do I have to be your fan? This isn’t about you dude, it’s about protecting trans kids from threats, including Chris Tuck.

🏳️‍⚧️ We don’t all have the power to pick a school board or write a law. But today we can let trans youth, 40% of whom consider suicide, know we support them as our equal, precious neighbors. Because it’s “with liberty and justice for all.” 🇺🇸 adn.com/sports/high-sc…

@KassSmiley I can’t make everyone a fan. But if you’d like to be fair, I’ve helped Suzanne raise more money than most people, so she and Chris aren’t killed in the money race by Bronson. Not worth repeating to you I’ve helped a lot, and have kept my preference private.

@Les_Gara_InAk If you support them, then you wouldn’t be voting for Tuck. We all know he doesn’t support trans kids FFS

20 years of amazing help for Alaska’s foster youth! Join us Thursday for FFCA’s 20th Anniversary fundraiser (or help today at FFCAalaska.org). Thank you!

@swensonmember Not interested in arguing. But what do you say about a trans girl who honed her 3 point shooting and 2 handed dribbling skills. And makes a team based 💯 on talent? Who’s struggling with depression bc of all the political footballing that hits her every day?

@Les_Gara_InAk Do you believe in fair competition versus cheating. But then you also support vote by mail which is has the advantage for cheating. Biological males should not compete against Biological females. They have testosterone inside them. We do not allowing cheating #LGBTQ

Another nice day of #StillNotWinter 🎣 🐻 ⛰️

Tv & radio sports has become a feast on people with #gambling problems. I love the sports part of @NFL & @NBA. Just not announcers pushing folks #Hard to gamble their $avings on who scores the 1st points or how many yards someone gets. Hope they’ll count the families they damage.

Great new federal rules to help neglected foster youth. Making it easier for relatives to take in foster youth and avoid annoying red tape. At a time when in Alaska we have a major shortage of foster parents. Up to states to implement these rules. #Hopeful hhs.gov/about/news/202…

@lruskin Just the memory that it hits a quiet voting near- majority who enjoy the outdoors. Last shutdown refuges shut down/threatened to shut down fishing - Like on the kenai as I recall. In the last few weeks we have a chance to fish before winter…..

Hi Alaskans, got questions about what government shutdown would do? Got shutdown related news tips? Send them my way. DMs open and email address in my profile

Well - every Board Member received one. But thank you to the #NationalChildWelfareWorkforceInstitute - for all the research and work to improve the lives of children, families & those who work every day to support the right to equal opportunity for all #Ncwwi #childrensrights

@RapSheet Oh geez.Amazing player i have always been excited to watch. Hopefully the fantasy football community will realize this is about him, not them. Peace and recover well.

#Browns RB Nick Chubb, who was carted to the locker room with an apparently serious knee injury, has already been ruled out.

@EyesOfDisarray_ @andybehrens Same:)

@andybehrens if Amari Cooper is out, would you start Elijah Moore over Garrett Wilson?

"For those wishing to send condolences, please send them to our district office in Anchorage at 121 W Fireweed Ln Suite 260, 99503. To everyone who has reached out, from Alaska to D.C. and everywhere in between, thank you. You have made a dark time just a little lighter.”

We should all stand with Alexander Mattison. There is NO room for this behavior.

Unbelievable. And, sadly believable.

Great mural being created at the #BearTooth last night🎨! #ArtsMatter

@KassSmiley @ForrestDunbarAK @votesuzanneak @SenWielechowski 2/2 For Suzanne or Chris to replace this mayor, they need donors and volunteers now, which is what I’m asking people to do. I’m glad you are helping the one you support. A battle between Suzanne & Chis supporters hurts the public debate on show why we need a new mayor.

@KassSmiley @ForrestDunbarAK @votesuzanneak @SenWielechowski Boy. I’ve helped & fundraised for Suzanne & Chris. Keeping my preference private. Just to be accurate. My point, agree or not, is that when there are 3 or more candidates, the incumbent raises money, and volunteers and donors needed by the challengers sit on the sidelines 1/2
