Alaska’s only civilian testing hub is shutting down abruptly this summer, leaving staff jobless and crippling access to critical exams for thousands. The university claims it’s to boost enrollment, but dismantling the sole center in Southcentral Alaska—handling everything from college tests to professional licenses—makes little sense. With no local alternatives, Alaskans face impossible hurdles: traveling hundreds of miles for exams, or relying on unreliable online proctoring or military bases

The House narrowly passed a resolution to rein in the President’s war powers in Iran, only for the Senate to block it — as the U.S. grapples with rising casualties, soaring gas prices, and a fractured ceasefire.

The Kenai River sockeye run is off to a slower start this year, with numbers down to less than 16% of last year’s record-breaking four million fish—but officials believe it’s just a delayed run, with a big surge expected soon. Meanwhile, the Kasilof River is also slower, but not as dramatically. Fishermen are on edge, watching for those daily updates as the run pulses in with the tides, not the steady flow of recent years.

Alaska’s Supreme Court just handed a major win to a disqualifying Senate candidate, Dan J. Sullivan, who was kicked off the ballot for allegedly being a “bad faith” candidate — but the court ruled the state overstepped by inventing its own rules. The state claimed he was trying to confuse voters by mimicking the incumbent Senator Dan Sullivan, citing GOP complaints and campaign materials.
