The time it takes to resolve Alaska’s most serious felony cases is three years, or more than twice as long as in 2015.
A state lawmaker wants an end to the delays. “I hate how slow this system is. It kills me,” he said.

"In March 2025, the U.S. Department of Education made a quiet yet profoundly consequential decision to abruptly terminate major research contracts and lay off dozens of staff and contractors, [undermining] the nation’s ability to access credible, comprehensive data on college affordability, student success, and postsecondary outcomes."

A really interesting poll was run by Martin Lewis, a journalist and campaigner in the UK.
It asked who the UK should lean towards in the current political climate, and whether the voter was a 'Remainder' or 'Leaver' in the EU referendum.
His published results, below, show response based on platform.
Only on X did any type of voter side with the US.
I wonder what the results would be here 👀
Note: There was no way to prevent inauthentic responses in this poll.
