War Powers Showdown: The U.S. Senate advanced a resolution to force President Trump to end the Iran war or seek Congress’s approval, clearing a key procedural hurdle 50-47 after Louisiana Sen.

Alaska Courts & Accountability: A Juneau jury sentenced Michael Duby to 10 years (with 5½ suspended) for illegal commercial fishing and fraudulent fish-ticket reporting, including selling untested shellfish. Local Public Safety: Anchorage lawmakers are weighing bringing back a public safety advisory commission after it sunset in 2024. School Meals Push: Federal lawmakers introduced a Universal School Meals Program Act of 2026, while Alaska also moved on school nutrition rules. Economy Watch: SNAP June payment dates vary by state, with Alaska scheduled for June 1.
