Alaska Senate Pushes Early-Intervention Expansion: The Alaska Senate unanimously advanced SB 178 to broaden eligibility for early intervention services for kids with developmental delays, moving the bill to the House after lawmakers said Alaska’s current rules are so restrictive that providers hesitate to refer families. War Powers Fight Still Stalls: In Washington, the Senate again blocked efforts to rein in Trump’s Iran war powers, with Lisa Murkowski joining for the first time—yet the measure still failed, and the House vote also ended in a tie. China Summit Delivers Warm Words, Not Clear Breakthroughs: Trump and Xi wrapped up talks in Beijing with talk of progress and oil purchases, but major tech and Iran-related deliverables stayed unresolved, leaving markets jittery. SNAP Enrollment Drops: USDA data shows SNAP recipients fell from 42.8 million (Jan. 2025) to 37.8 million (Feb. 2026), as tightened work rules continue to bite. Alaska LNG Context: The week also kept spotlight on Alaska’s LNG timeline and political pressure around getting the project moving.
