The @NYTimes is at it again, purposefully canceling the voices of the Alaska Native people in their latest biased reporting on the Willow Project. Shameful.

@nytimes Not once in the @nytimes' latest story is there a reference to this fact—and it is a fact:

The majority consensus of Alaska Native people—including every major Alaska Native organization—supports the Willow Project.

Like all Alaskans, I appreciate and am proud of the professional work of our Alaska-based military. Today’s shoot-down of another unidentified object over Alaska takes skill, precision, discipline and proficiency. (1/8)
These exceptional Americans have been working overtime on this challenge, including not just tracking and intercepting this latest incursion, but the Chinese spy balloon from last week, and several other unidentified flying objects over Alaska in the past few weeks. (2/8)
I appreciated the senior Defense Department officials who briefed me this morning on the sighting of this latest object. (3/8)
