She needs to do more and rally with other Republicans who feel like she does. I’m sure they exist. And, they need to speak up and speak out against the MAGA thugs.

turnmedemsoc.bsky.social•1 day ago

I can't. She's watched this for years, has voted for his garbage cabinet picks ,turned a blind eye to all of it. She gets nothing from me until she actually does something.

dogsincali.bsky.social•2 days ago

Based on the responses, BlueSky is not in the mood to thank a collaborator. 😂

I hope I will get there as it is important we encourage them to start speaking up.

ptomski.bsky.social•2 days ago

Thanks for sharing, Amy, but how can we push for new Dem leadership? It’s unconscionable that they haven’t been more out front on this.

johannesignotus.bsky.social•1 day ago

I’ll thank her when she abandons the Repugnantcans. She talks like a thinking person, then votes with the idiots.

brianiselin.bsky.social•1 day ago

But "appears to be"....come on. How to take the head from your arrow.

caroleliz.bsky.social•1 day ago

She’ll do nothing.

kg-nobile.bsky.social•2 days ago

I’ll thank her once she switches party affiliation. Until then fuck her…she is complicit and can’t even bring herself to use tRump’s name.

justwizzy26.bsky.social•2 days ago

Why should we thank her?? Didn’t she vote for all - except 1 - of Trump’s Cabinet nominees??? She is as much to blame for what occurred in the White House as all Republicans.

mrp72.bsky.social•2 days ago

I find it telling that “influencers” like her have thousands of followers yet only follow 18 people themselves. I never follow these people they just grind out remarks whilst listening to no one else. Yawn no thank you

justwizzy26.bsky.social•1 day ago

Good point.

heffbombs.bsky.social•2 days ago

More please.

badgeralum0124.bsky.social•2 days ago

I’ll thank her when she actually does something about it. Words mean nothing right now and that’s my problem with the democrats at the moment also. Let’s see her switch sides.

josie12.bsky.social•2 days ago

Once you acknowledge the problem, you need to do something about it!

purpleaster.bsky.social•2 days ago

Talk is cheap. Let’s see the votes.

thehobbyhopper.bsky.social•2 days ago

Wait, isn't she the pearl clutcher who issues stern words and never does anything?

kevinmac27.bsky.social•1 day ago

Thank you Sen Murkowski.
Now follow through and cross the floor.

pbard.bsky.social•2 days ago

It's gonna take more than words from her. She voted for Tulsi Gabbard and his other appointments. It seems like her and Susan Collins are nothing if not perennially "disappointed."

politemidwesterner.bsky.social•1 day ago

Her words are only meaningful if she backs them up with her vote.

davidp-p.bsky.social•1 day ago

I'd like to know what she intends to do about ti besides be sick to her stomach!

nlcoombe.bsky.social•2 days ago

She always seems to be 1 of the few.

nlcoombe.bsky.social•2 days ago

Thank you!

evilgenius70.bsky.social•2 days ago

FFS!
Always looking for a republican hero.
There are none.
AND…Murk gets no cookie because show can’t put Drumpf’s name on it…so no.

nomadcreature.bsky.social•2 days ago

And then she votes on trump's nominees for cabinet positions.

Her concerns are worthless.

carriejacobson.bsky.social•2 days ago

Thank her for what? Enabling Trump and his henchmen? No. She owns this too

edct77.bsky.social•2 days ago

Never, she's a Nazi enabler who voted YES on 18 of this administration's 19 cabinet nominations. Thank her? the gall to even request that is degrading. F*ck her!

greased7.bsky.social•2 days ago

Good for her! The only one I've seen so far.

murf0871.bsky.social•2 days ago

Not until she stops voting for his agenda

jay-rios.bsky.social•2 days ago

Reserve your thanks until the words are followed up with action. Until then, the words are just white knighting.

traciesocial.bsky.social•2 days ago

Maybe when she can plainly say trump's name and call him out instead of hiding behind 'the administration'. Or when she's so disgusted she changes party's. Her words are meaningless otherwise and we all know she'll continue to vote and support him.

cajunasfuck.bsky.social•2 days ago

Thank her for what she voted for the scum bag.

fuck-fascism.bsky.social•1 day ago

I'm sick of her crocodile tears.

jmcport.bsky.social•2 days ago

No thanks. When she stops telling us how sick she is and starts voting against the administration consistently and getting her colleagues to do the same I’ll give it another think.

cbshere.bsky.social•1 day ago

she can see russia from her porch...

adams1811.bsky.social•2 days ago

She needs to join the democrats - put a stop to this.

billypotatoes7.bsky.social•2 days ago

She may talk the talk, but then votes for whatever her troll master wants.

mrcase77.bsky.social•1 day ago

Well thank her when she actually does something. We’ve seen this movie before with her.

gjl2k.bsky.social•2 days ago

She voted for Trump’s appointees 99% of the time so yeah—no

tlynch6708.bsky.social•2 days ago

Too little too late. Thie whole situation could have been avoided if she and others impeached his orange ass

turboe4truth.bsky.social•2 days ago

Not until she does something. No talking , doing.

mmpeace.bsky.social•1 day ago

Too bad she didn't speak up a long time ago

sdk3.bsky.social•2 days ago

I appreciate her words (they are far too rare among members of what once was the GOP) but now she needs to follow them up with action. What she does is vastly more important than what she says.

sewgirlsew.bsky.social•2 days ago

a little too late. bad enough terrorizes the villagers, now the he world. he's their monster, they created and fed it. It's all on them no matter what. no backsies

heatherlentz.bsky.social•2 days ago

If people want politicians to speak out they should thank them when they do. When one politician speaks out it opens the door for others to do the same. What message does it send when she speaks out and then she gets attacked for it?

anotherbob.bsky.social•1 day ago

I appreciate her gesture, but I'll thank her when she does something substantive that actually makes a difference, like how she votes in the Senate. The last thing we need is another Susan Collins.

jpkennedy22.bsky.social•2 days ago

I want her to make all her colleagues sick to their stomachs. Her only cure is to call them out and force them to make a public choice. America or Russia? Ukrainians living free, or dead, refugees or conquered subjects of a lawless regime?

We know Gutless Graham has sold out. What about the rest?

p-mk.bsky.social•1 day ago

Words mean nothing, actions speak. When she votes against Trump I’ll thank her.

ketaminecaligula.bsky.social•1 day ago

DEEDS NOT WORDS!

buttercup4u.bsky.social•2 days ago

Lets see how many other republicans step up

peoplepowerunited.bsky.social•2 days ago

💙💛 Please join us in sending a letter of support to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukrainian leaders and soldiers, and the resilient people of Ukraine. Link on our page. Thanks for supporting Freedom Over Fascism.

pinkkermit.bsky.social•1 day ago

she's no angel, it shouldn't take this long! Her vote put some of the worst and unqualified people in the position of power!

froggydee1.bsky.social•2 days ago

No. She voted yes on all but one of his appointees. She is complicit.

tulip61.bsky.social•2 days ago

With all due respect, talk is cheap. Follow what she does not what she says. Ditto Susie from Maine.

cptheidi.bsky.social•2 days ago

Amy she didn’t name him. No one will go on record challenging him and his mafia ring

tommyrayray.bsky.social•2 days ago

?! Thank her? She’s going to vote to basically defund almost all of the federal government, including any aid to Ukraine. No Republican can be trusted to do the right thing. They’re all part of this coup!

evitaerc.bsky.social•2 days ago

Like thanking an abusive boss. Hell no.

capecodgrl145.bsky.social•2 days ago

Sorry, why should we thank her? I’ll thank her when she actually stops voting in his nominees and stops enabling the orange cockwomble to continue his destructive of our democracy.

anita72.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yes. She could cross the aisle anytime and join Democrats. Alaska has ranked choice.

capecodgrl145.bsky.social•2 days ago

Destruction*

inigomontoyota.bsky.social•2 days ago

She's Alaska, right? Hasn't Russia threatened to re-annex Alaksa? Think Krasnov would fight to keep it from Putin? She needs to be way more vocal.

Good start though

rrmadison.bsky.social•2 days ago

Become an independent and vote your conscience. Stand up already, and stop being an enabler!

hailey57.bsky.social•2 days ago

Lisa and Susan speak out but what do they do? Actions, ladies, are louder (and more effective) than words.

madadam420.bsky.social•1 day ago

Um, yeah no...
They take turns trying to fix their image......she can go fk a polar bear

thedudeisthedude.bsky.social•2 days ago

She’s already sold her soul. She has stood by and approved so many bad Trump nominees. No thanks from me

consciouscustodian.bsky.social•2 days ago

What? No. Do not thank this feckless windbag.

220221whatever.bsky.social•2 days ago

“Thank you for your meaningless words followed by no action”

drfohead.bsky.social•2 days ago

Too little too late.

bamfsrule13.bsky.social•2 days ago

Thank her for what? Soon she'll be just as "concerned" as Susan Collins

tobykdavis.bsky.social•2 days ago

Murkowski, from Alaska, must be concerned president dirty diapers will trade Alaska for a seat at the Russian Politburo!

rubydorarose.bsky.social•2 days ago

Why? It doesnt mean shit if you dont back it up.

marsbar078.bsky.social•2 days ago

I have thanked her on multiple occasions, only to find out later that I was pranked again. She does not have the nerve to follow this up. She is just Susan Collins lite.

zamafir.bsky.social•2 days ago

^this. Thank you

gardengirlove.bsky.social•2 days ago

She needs to show strong leadership and rally support from fellow Republicans. At 67, she’s in a position where she could retire, write a book, and secure speaking engagements or media opportunities. Time to take a stand.

sigamagaw.bsky.social•2 days ago

I wonder what a 15%-20% drop in the market next week would do for his attitude?

ketaminecaligula.bsky.social•1 day ago

🤨

gracie12-2024.bsky.social•1 day ago

SAY HIS NAME, wishy-washy lady.

kylestack24.bsky.social•2 days ago

That’s good but where are some of these other “reasonable” Republicans? It can’t always be Murkowski being the one to speak out from their side.

geodeca.bsky.social•2 days ago

Thank you.

erihu73.bsky.social•2 days ago

Nope. She took an Oath of Office & has failed to uphold it.

tmjzcd.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yes!!! But let’s hope she reflects this “illness” in the way she votes.
Why she stays in this party is beyond my comprehension.

spiderslew.bsky.social•2 days ago

It's going to take more than words to get my thanks

bluedott13.bsky.social•2 days ago

No. Her concern is not action. She knew. She knew and she still voted for all but one of his noms.

hankhoffmanct.bsky.social•2 days ago

NO NO FUCK NO I won’t thank her!!! She voted for 18 out of 19 Trump nominees. She’s a goddamn enabler. Let her switch caucuses & THEN I might consider “thanking” her.

bostonmikeoo7.bsky.social•2 days ago

I will thank her for her actions, not hollow words.

bevferguson.bsky.social•2 days ago

Throw in support for USAID and I’ll believe her.

katzst.bsky.social•2 days ago

Perfect start! We sure could some persuasiveness to other #Republicans!
Appreciate her speaking out! #LisaMurkowski

gracemoynihan.bsky.social•2 days ago

I will thank her when I see her rallying her party and putting her words into ACTIONS. Until then, just words as per usual. We cannot get out of this destruction without Republicans standing up to him, REGARDLESS of threats from MAGAts, etc. Save America!!! No excuses!! 🇺🇸 @lisamurkowski.bsky.social

666barbedwire.bsky.social•1 day ago

Agreed. She says these type of things and then doesn't vote to uphold them consistently. Just look at who she voted for during the confirmation hearings.

amyimhoff1701.bsky.social•2 days ago

Murkowski only speaks up when it is convenient, when she gauges how good it will make her look by choosing to echo an already-popular sentiment, and even then she does the bare minimum, like with this statement.

👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

suzannejf.bsky.social•2 days ago

No thanks to anyone identifying as a Republican in the age of Trump.

They are all traitors!

johnd73.bsky.social•2 days ago

I will not thank her for what she and her colleagues are supposed to be doing. She's doing the bare minimum here.

tuccsonshark.bsky.social•2 days ago

Not until she starts voting against his asinine ideas!!

bonnjny.bsky.social•2 days ago

Will do.

meriyen.bsky.social•1 day ago

Thank you, Senator Murkowski. Why are you still with the GOP? Your values no longer align with theirs! It hasn’t in a while. Come on over to the other side of the aisle.

dk51.bsky.social•2 days ago

Too late

andrenaline.bsky.social•2 days ago

You are not serious.

fablesmom.bsky.social•1 day ago

I will thank her when she speaks on the floor and votes against Trump.

ampallanguk.bsky.social•2 days ago

She voted for all the loons Trump put forward, there is no way in hell I'm going to thank her for doing the abso-fucking-lute fucking minimum. No one should "gota hand it to her".

cg13.bsky.social•2 days ago

Zelensky is a true patriotic courageous leader. As opposed to Trump who is a corrupt, despicable, low-life, traitorous liar. Trump should go straight to hell!

kmmickvega.bsky.social•2 days ago

Nah, less speaking, more doing. Murkowski always says things, but she often just rubber stamps Trump’s agenda. She voted to confirm most of his awful appointees.

demsrising.bsky.social•2 days ago

Unfortunately, Murkowski and Collins don't count. It literally means nothing.

demsrising.bsky.social•2 days ago

However, Amy Siskind is important and everyone should follow.

ketaminecaligula.bsky.social•1 day ago

😐

redlabdad.bsky.social•2 days ago

Just the one ?? lol

feralelferoz.bsky.social•1 day ago

When she puts her words into action I will definitely thank her

noesister1.bsky.social•1 day ago

I’m glad someone is speaking out, but we told you! How is this surprising?

lauraj1994.bsky.social•2 days ago

It's too much

joedecam.bsky.social•1 day ago

She’s Lucy holding the football … over & over & over

factsnotprops.bsky.social•2 days ago

Eh. “Appears” 👀

michellegrosser.bsky.social•2 days ago

Thank you brave @lisamurkowski.bsky.social

laughingduck123.bsky.social•2 days ago

And yet she voted for all of his appointee. I’m so sick of her.

tinmanbs.bsky.social•1 day ago

And tell her to stop the endless pearl clutching, change affiliation to Independent, and caucus with Dems until the madness passes. It's hard but it would actually mean something.

elliem1.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yes. I sent her a Thank You.

mjsescape.bsky.social•1 day ago

This is great… now what will she DO about it?

traciethewho515.bsky.social•2 days ago

Isn’t that what Trump was demanding as well ?

equalityforhumans.bsky.social•2 days ago

Where has she been?

Why act so surprised. Is she sick that he just repo’d the boxes of stolen documents that belonged to the American people? That he has broken our laws and order with tyrannical, maniacal glee?

He golfs as thousands lose jobs, and suffer defending rights and freedom. A menace.

kim47.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yet, unless I am mistaken, she voted yes for every single one of his nominees except Hegseth. So, yeah, no

islalola.bsky.social•2 days ago

WHY???? She is ALWAYS, ALWAYS too-little-too-late. She is a hypocrite and a coward like all gop
