Strip away the op-eds and talking points, and the senator’s votes tell a far different story about who he serves.
Sen. Dan Sullivan speaks about the Big Beautiful Bill Act during the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce “Make It Monday” luncheon at the Dena’ina Convention Center on Nov. 24, 2025. Sen. Dan Sullivan’s staff writers have burned a lot of midnight oil lately to present him as someone who cares about people.
expends a lot of verbiage presenting him as Alaska’s health care friend. Keeping with his highest values, he first reminds us how much he likes to make money off petroleum and natural resource ventures and spends the rest of the column gilding a cheap plastic frame around his image to sell as quality statecraft. After playing ain super-funding people-ripping organizations like ICE while stripping Americans of health care options — signed into law on Independence Day, no less — hefor bringing Alaskans a tattered bag of health care tricks to be divvied out with a tangle of attached strings.and see his true values, since a man’s values are discerned by what he does rather than what his staff drafts in his name. Dan doesn’t like to spend money on anything that doesn’t offer kickbacks in political or capital gain. For things like education,, the arts, health care, people’s well-being, Dan has a solid record of following the conservative herd of market hagglers slashing and wrangling away at the already minuscule budgets for such expenditures. He adds his hoarse voice to the chorus howling the popular conservative song “How do we pay for it?” while never questioning — not once — how we pay forfor the military, federal law enforcement, national security and the morally reprehensible ICE budgets. Couple this with his lap-dog response to anything Trump wants, regardless of questions of legality and you can see where Dan’s values really lie.of military-equipped, masked and unidentified agents conducting violent raids, kidnappings and murders in the domestic population under the broad justification of secret national security; the massiveof prison and detention complexes, many in remote and harsh conditions or on foreign soil; the push to place standing armies within the civilian population; the broad messaging of lies, mistruths, fears and misinformation; the increased volume of criminal legislation and prosecutions targeting select persons and populations; the systematic legal curtailment of civil rights; the corruption of the courts to the values of wealth and vice over the virtues of justice and humanity; the corruption of the media to the values of profit and entertainment over the virtues of truth and accountability; the dismantling of institutions dedicated to the public good; the devaluation ofof masculinity and “white” superiority … these are all well-understood signs of a movement toward a type of government which was supposed to have been set for banishment — “never again” — via good education and the practice of human care. This movement does not make America great; it makes us loathsome, just as vile and loathsome as everything we said we were fighting against in the Civil War, World War II, the Cold War and all our wars of Afghanistan and Iraq. Sen. Sullivan does not care about people. He is staunchly loyal to the people-loathing, wealth-loving, sociopathic-fundamentalist faction of the conservative party. His actions as senator have done little but compound the already unconscionable amount of unnecessary grief, anxiety and suffering experienced by the people of Alaska, the nation and the world.has lived in Fairbanks for more than 15 years and works as a commercial pilot for a local air carrier. He served in the Army Judge Advocate General’s Corps and the Reserve Army Medical Corps, a year of which was spent deployed to Iraq.As Davos forum opens, top EU official questions Trump’s trustworthiness over GreenlandJustice Department weighs rollback of gun regulations
