  1. It still isn’t illegal, but this does not look good at the moment.

    In the summer of 2025, a staffer for Mary Peltola, the Alaska Democrat who was eyeing a run for Senate, received unusual instructions from top campaign aides: Find as many people named Dan Sullivan in Alaska as you can.

    Based on “interviews and emails”. So maybe, maybe not. Needs to be looked at.

They’re setting up roadblocks on the highways and only letting white guys pass if they can name a dozen contestants on RuPaul’s Drag Race!!

  4. WHO CARES, Its not illegal!!!

    Shady- yes.

    Illegal - how?

    The Incumbent Senator has the word “INCUMBENT” next to his name.
