The pilot who dealt with that emergency on the AK Air flight in which a piece of fuselage fell out in midair and in which everyone miraculously survived and that Boeing has planes worldwide grounded over was … a woman. Everyone should listen to the audio of how calm she was.

Just spent 1h sitting 3 ft across a table from @lisamurkowski with 18 Alaskan lawyers & advocates opposed to #Kavanaugh . We brought your message & letters from 100s of lawyers & law clerks. She was receptive, kind: a true stateswoman. We appealed to her conscience & we have hope.

WHY DOES IT TAKE SO LONG TO COUNT VOTES IN ALASKA (a 🧵): The 1st thing to know in answering this question is that only a fraction of votes are cast on Election Day. Many are cast as absentee ballots in the 2 weeks leading up to E-Day. Many of those absentee votes are (1/4)

No one is saying David Eastman can’t be an Oath Keeper, N-zi, seditionist and/or 3%er. He just can’t be a legislator at the same time. You can’t be a legislator and associate with groups that advocate overthrowing the country. The Alaska Constitution is real clear on that.
