Trump administration 2024-2028

Yeah, about that, a chance to spank the Veep a bit?
I guess nobody has the nerve to tell Donald that most of the sanctioned money isn’t held by the US.
 
Blaska.


Peltola also now has a 10K vote lead, double that of the non-Republican Sullivan. Doesn't look like having a similar name would have changed the final outcome.

Further to your last: Peltola has 49.84% of vote vs Sullivan's 46.09% with 96% of votes counted. She just needs .16% of votes to get 50% for the win. If Peltola doesn't get 50%, then the state will conduct a ranked-choice tabulation on Nov. 18, redistributing votes from eliminated candidates according to voters' subsequent preferences.

In other Alaska related voting news, former state lawmaker Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins was projected Friday to win Alaska's gubernatorial election, defeating three Republican challengers.
 
Oh what a surprise ...

Eric Trump-backed robot soldier startup can’t pay staff after founder borrowed $4.6 million from company to buy home​


Key Points
  • Robot startup Foundation has failed to pay employees since missing its Oct. 30 payroll, angering some workers after its CEO borrowed $4.6 million from the firm last year to buy a luxury home, according to people familiar with the matter.
  • CEO and co-founder Sankaet Pathak is Foundation’s sole board member, raising governance concerns among prospective investors.
  • Foundation’s widely reported $24 million in Pentagon contracts actually stems from its 2024 acquisition of Boardwalk Robotics, which held some existing government research contracts, the people said.
  • Pathak’s previous company, Synapse, collapsed in 2024, leaving thousands of customers without access to deposits. Pathak reportedly took loans from Synapse as it neared bankruptcy.

They still haven't finished counting first round ballots?
 
Size of the State and how spread out and sparse the population is plays a big part.
From the article it looks like the only viable excuse is the late date (Nov 15) allowed for absentee ballots. People somehow manage to get the votes in the mail or vote in person by election day, and I doubt the USPS and election agency are moving ballots physically by dog team or that they're using tin-can phones.
