Good afternoon. It’s Tuesday, Nov. 25.

In today's newsletter:

  • State workplace safety officers are investigating complaints from nurses at Alaska Regional Hospital that many of them have fallen ill from what they believe are hazardous air conditions at the hospital.

  • The Anchorage School District has pushed back in response to pointed questions from the attorney general and a top education official about “non-endorsement” stickers on booklets containing the Constitution and Declaration of Independence distributed to some students.

  • U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan said he is working on a bill seeking a two-year extension of health insurance subsidies that will otherwise expire at the end of the year.

Need a book or two to read this winter? Check out some of these titles, selected as the best fiction and nonfiction of the year by the staff of The Washington Post’s Book World. A handful of debut novels and a feminist history of modern Russia are among the best books of 2025.

Anchorage weather


It's sunny and cold today, with a high around 18 degrees. There's a slight chance of snow on Wednesday, and the forecast calls for partly sunny skies on Thanksgiving Day. Daytime highs will rise into the mid-30s over the next several days.

Here’s what else is making headlines in Alaska today.
