Meanwhile, Senator Susan Collins asks for an exemption for Portsmouth Naval Shipyard from OPM’s deferred resignation program for federal employees. Aha! That’ll show ‘em senator!
Another case of too little, too late. She's had plenty of opportunities to do the right thing in the past. If she want to do something useful, she can change parties or make a motion for impeachment.
Nope. Let that shit burn down. They are all to blame for it and their spineless confirmations for the most unqualified cabinet in the history of this country. Fuck all of them especially Mitch’s bitch ass! This is the energy for the next 4 years.
God, she's despicable. She and Susan Collins are MORE guilty than the rest of the Republican Senators, because they pretended for years that they gave a shit about women's rights and basic competence, and then voted like every other asshole Republican. Fuck her forever.
To Murkowski: become an independent and caucus with Dems or switch parties.
Otherwise stop blabbing because you always vote with the tribe when the chips are down no matter how awful!
Exactly! We have been screaming our anxiety over Musk and all of the cabinet picks and now that it’s done she’s decided. Now is the time? Murkowski is just another Susan Collins except she’s from AK. A little late.
But they still keep approving T’s totally unqualified cabinet picks. Every Senator that has voted to approve his picks for his cabinet and do nothing to stop his onslaught of EOs is in violation of the oath they took when they were sworn into Congress.
Alaska kind of needs federal jobs and dollars. I know voters don’t vote in their self interest but cowards in Congress should have seen this coming over the last 15 years (since the TEA Party lunacy began).
Thank you Senator, we appreciate your speaking out and so many of us trying to get other Republicans to join you. They are the only people, other than the courts that can stop him.
The Republicans, if we should even be calling them that, don't have the courage to stand up for the Constitution or the people of this country. All they can do is curtsy to the Coward felon.
Does anyone doubt that Trump will make carveouts for GOP states (for a price, of course)? And the likes of Murkowski, Britt & Collins will sing his praises while the “got fired” folks in NY, CA etc…will be looking for a job that no longer exists. That’s the kind of🖕🏽that Trump lives for.
Trump will make carveouts for red states? I doubt it. And what makes you think blue states will put up with this shit for long? Trump is bound to piss off the wrong person. He should double up on the Secret Service protection.
Well, I’ve said this before and I guess it needs to be said again! When Lisa and Susan change their party affiliation to independent, and
Caucus with the dems, then I might believe that they mean what they say! Otherwise it’s just more BS out of both of them! All talk, no action!!
No, she said she couldn't vote for him because he supported the demands of the list of agents who worked on Jan 6 prosecutions, and Collins said she couldn't vote for him because of his high profile politics about retribution.
I give them credit, because it makes them highly unpopular with MAGA.
Criticizing? WTF . Do your job and take back the roll of one of the three coequal branches of government. Trump, Musk and their lackeys have usurped Congresses role of the purse.
Though I can agree, there’s the other side…Trump’s poll numbers are beginning to fall, Musk & Doge are highly unpopular, the job cuts are hitting red and blue states, elected officials have to answer to constituents, constituents are angry, anger will grow, etc. It’s never too late, until you die.
I love when they "demand" something from Orange Manbaby. Could have voted to impeach, could have voted against nominees, could have read Project 2025, could have not believed DT when he said he didn't know anything about it - that was a sure sign he did, and the list goes on.
Someone is getting frantic phone calls from her constituents who are pissed about being laid off. It's too late, Lisa. The damage is done. She's a full blown MAGA enabler who owns this mess!
They all are! The only problem is, so far, none of her colleagues have said anything about phone calls from constituents. They either don't care, or figure if they ignore any complaints, it will stop.
Bring protests to these spineless republicans doorsteps! Make them uncomfortable. They need to fear the backlash from the people more than the backlash from their pathetic wanna be king.
Oh brother, her and Joni and Susan. . . now they're standing up from a lying down position. Good riddance, concern about getting "primaried" will be the least of their worries.
All the groups on here that claim they are Republicans but not trumplicans should be investing time and resources into getting people on republican primary ballots and get the traitors out of office.
If you continue to call yourselves Republicans, fight for your party.
They need to vote en masse for democrats, for the next 10 yrs, to stop this scourge for good. They should also form “Republicans For—-“ groups. Those can be impactful.
Please…she and Susan Collins try to have it both ways…always. They vote for most of Trump’s cabinet picks who they both know were unqualified and dangerous and then every so often slap the administration on the wrist. Give me a break.
Alaskans really should push her. She clearly knows the MAGA fascists aren't going to be good. She said she didn't vote for him because he supported going after those who worked on Jan 6 cases, and for that, she's to be commended. Shame there aren't a few more on their side than just these 2 women.
The greatest myth men have every put forth in the history of mankind is that men are braver than women. We are the carriers of the species and are the stronger sex. PERIOD. We are more moral. We are more social. We are braver. Evolution has endowed us with a greater immune system too.
Donald Trump nor Elon Musk do not have the slightest clue as to how the things they are doing effect actual Americans. Actual people. Because they have no souls.
Ha ha ha. To f-ing late. You need to speak up BEFORE the bad man acts.
Remember he always tells you what he plans to do. He lies about why,when and how, and one must look past those distractions.
She and Collins don’t stand up for anything. If they did, they would have rejected the nominations of RFK jr, Gabbard and most importantly Patel. They “whine and worry” and then follow the party line. Always.
I want Musk arrested for being a terrorist from South Africa! 😡😡😡
I expect EVERY law maker to arrest, hold and put before a judge TerroristNaziMusk-so the masses do not have to fo it for them?
If you feel that the House and Senate schuld not give up their right to approve appointments or you have a view you want to express. You can make your opinion known by calling and telling them your feelings about these at: (202) 224-3121. Remember that the Congress is their to work for you.
Fuck you, Lisa. You voted almost every fringe candidate offered up. You vote fucking Kash Patel and Assad fangirl Gabbard. You have no credibility anymore. Sit down and STFU.
WHY...WHAT WE ALL NEED TO KNOW IS WHY THE REPUBLICAN
CONGRESS IS TAKING THE SIDE OF Peutey AND NOT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THEY SUPPOSEDLY REPRESENT??? Have they all been neutered already??? SO WHAT BRAVE SOUL IS GOING TO LET US KNOW WHY THEY ARE SPITTING IN THE FACE OF DEMOCRACY????
93% of Republicans approve of trump's job as president. Their representatives are afraid of these people because they're spineless cowards. trump goosed their fear and hate and they were only too happy to oblige. The entirety of the GQP runs on fear, from president Musk on down.
Only because she made a deal with the other two Republican senators who pretend to be “concerned.” It was her turn to pretend. She knew they already had the votes. She is scum. No different from the rest.
Murkowski should have voted against all of his dangerous cabinet picks. She should have voted to convict the Fanta Menace for his two impeachments. She helped create the cesspool the country is now in. These are just placating words. Whatever.
If they don’t stand up THEY will have blood on their hands. They are afraid of 🤡- well if they don’t vote for human decency they will not get re-elected. They swore an oath to the the constitution, not the 🍊mob boss.
The papers should say an immigrant that's only been a citizen since 2002 is now and every bit of our federal government don't you remember when it was such a big deal about Obama's birth certificate to these people
"Murkowski also said that President Donald Trump’s efforts to withhold federal funding that had already been approved by Congress “cannot be allowed to stand.”
“If we in Congress allow that, we effectively cede some of our authority,” she said."
I'm currently still doing a bit of research on her, I'll look up Susan Collins also. I've been trying to inform myself who is fighting for our Constitution and who doesn't care anymore.
Bless her heart. She voted for this. Either she is truly stupid or quite the actor. Can't wait to see how her votes impact the Native Americans in Alaska. She doesn't care.
I thinknshe's a couple impeachment, and several cabinet member votes too late - but hey Lisa, thanks for being concerned now that it's too late, vert Mitch McConnell of you
Maybe she should have focused more on working her fellow Republicans to not confirm cabinet picks who are wholly and completely unqualified for the positions to which they were nominated…
Then she and Collins better get hard on this, leave the party that is threatening them (how many former Dems flipped to GOP while in power? APL was one of them), and work with Dems to stop this.
They admitted they were going to commit a coup, out in the open, using the word coup, and Lisa wasn't screaming or concerned then.
They are all yelling like they are waiting for someone to do something. If only we had a system where we chose someone to represent a majority of local residents
where are all the people like George Clooney & other ,all the generals & former employees, calling groups for Harris. Why are we not taking that same enthusiasm to stop this dictator that Trump & musk want to be. a day later after his comments about Ukraine. GOP‘s washed it off as yesterday‘s news

I wrote Joe because this is a military house. Joes always been a friend to us.
Joes friendship and service to SC’s military families is a complete fucking sham.
Otherwise stop blabbing because you always vote with the tribe when the chips are down no matter how awful!
😳😳😳
She's a lying traitor, just like Collins and McConnell.
Just takes a few to be brave.
It needed to be said -
ALASKA You fail sending us your floaters
Hypocrites and political cowards. UGH 🤬
Republicans. Stand up.
#CongressMustAct
How?
You're powerless to stop what's happening
Be honest...we're all waiting for the violence..
That's what resist will boil down to
Caucus with the dems, then I might believe that they mean what they say! Otherwise it’s just more BS out of both of them! All talk, no action!!
I give them credit, because it makes them highly unpopular with MAGA.
Time and again we see headlines like this. You are likely the biggest name in dem leaning media and this needs attention.
Federal employees in Alaska earn close to $1.5 billion in wages each year”
If you continue to call yourselves Republicans, fight for your party.
Just like countless times before.
She can do it again.
But only believe what they actually do.
Remember he always tells you what he plans to do. He lies about why,when and how, and one must look past those distractions.

“If we in Congress allow that, we effectively cede some of our authority,” she said."
I know millions of us agree with her!
She owns this, otherwise.
They are all yelling like they are waiting for someone to do something. If only we had a system where we chose someone to represent a majority of local residents
#DeathEaters
If she was really serious she would drop out of the Republican party and quorum with the democrats.
Waste of space!
