It’s official: after a night of frantic negotiations and closed-door dealing, the Senate has passed a sweeping, controversial budget bill that slashes $930 billion from Medicaid and billions more from programs like SNAP.
She doesn’t give a damn who else suffers! They gave her concessions only for her state. So give Lisa a bribe and she falls in line.
I think senators shouldn’t be able to make individual deals in exchange for a vote in favor of this BS bill. The deal Murkowski made benefits Alaska at the expense of the rest of the nation. It’s despicable and disgraceful!
Americans should support candidates who understand that “We the People” means EVERYONE! That's why I often wear a t-shirt with that reminder. This one 👇
Push back against the people failing democracy. They are representatives, they are not the entirety of democracy. “We the people“ are. That means everyone should be invested.
Weren’t concessions halted by Parliamentarian? She is forever slime in my book! Had she voted against it, AK and the rest of us would have been ok. Vote 50-50 w/ Vance tie breaker. Had scumbag Murkowski voted no, it would have been 51-49. Vance wouldn’t have mattered! Screw you Murkowski! I felt bad for you with , “we’re all scared”. BULLSHIT!
Hey folks—don’t bash Murkowski on the thread- make a quick call to her office in DC—202-224-6665 -and leave a recorded comment on her phone respectfully but strongly sharing your thoughts about the effect of her vote.
But isn't that how most of them work? Take care of ourselves by making deals for my state--thus getting re-elected. Nothing about the common good exists in this country any more.
Ok, so we should praise her for saying my State is so special screw the rest of the country? She showed us all who she is, ethics are not in her DNA but at least she bent the knee for HER state and that’s OK?
We dont have to praise her. Im saying she fought for her constituents and 49 of her colleagues didnt. The other 49 senators said they really dont care if the youngest and poorest Americans die.
Ok, but I am just musing here: Possibly back room deals for them too, we just weren’t privy because they didn’t publicly vacillate between maybe no/maybe yes. I will give her this, she has bigger balls than Tillis who only voted no because he is not seeking reelection. Sorry, I’m with you, just speculating, not a politician 🫣🥴
You can't lump Illinois in with your statement because both of our senators are democrats. I also thought murkowski's backroom deal was nixed by the parliamentary?
Other than Murkowski, there were 49 GOP senators who did not fight for their constituents. I didnt follow what you mean about Illinois and my state. Im in oregon.
I thought so too but no she did get some kind of deal for alaska apparently
It looks like a game she and Colins play .... they are both concerned they say.... then they are holdouts..... then over and over they only vote no when it has no impact, or one votes yes/ no leaving Senate in a tie, which the vp breaks..... it's all a game, acting like caring women, playing and gaslighting the American people. So so effed up on every level. How do any of them but especially Murkowski today live with themselves? Do they stop and think of people suffering, old people sick and not getting care, kids, people losing medicaid, school lunches and all this in service of obscenely wealthy billionaires getting further adavantage? People will become blind, lame, die from these cuts. And then combined with the increases for ICE and deportation, all inhumane I am signed up through individible for phonebanking tomorrow with red state constituents. Trying to keep on taking action toward the positive.
Appreciate your optimism but for the moment I am spent. It all feels like a game of “Jenga” and our country doesn’t have more than a block or two before it falls to full blown authoritarianism. Once the military is called out on the American people we will be full blown fascism. Literally feel sick to my stomach this morning.
on Meidas today Maxwell Frost, my favorite rep, explains that actually the trauma centers/s needed by Alaskans are in WA state, so that's one place she also is screwing the Alaskans in need.
I'm in her state and I am beyond disappointed. So many of us have loved ones elsewhere. If it wasn't good for Alaskans without assurances then it wasn't good for Americans! Should have been a clear and resounding NO! She will never again have my vote.
In a live interview I saw with her, she was aghast that she was being criticized. She said Alaska has a special type of people (sorry, paraphrasing). Just different than the rest of the country 🤔🥴 From her responses what I got was since the BBillionaire’sB was going to go through anyway, she was going to get what she could for her state by voting YES! I get what she was trying to do to serve Alaska but ethically it was so wrong. I wonder if there are more of her constituents who feel the same as you. She may have shot herself in the foot.
I cannot express the pain of seeing everything unfolding and not being able to do anything. As an Indiana resident, my representatives don’t care about us and it certainly feels like calling our representatives isn’t doing anything. I’ve never felt so low in my life.
202-224-3121 is the Capitol Switchboard number. It will connect automatically to your representative and senators.
Write a short script, as a constituent, about what you don’t like. Read or speak it with passion. Do it as often as you can. This may help the cause and make you feel better. Onward and upward!
Me too that’s how I feel nobody else will do it for us we have too. Let them know deep down inside she knows she fucked up and she can’t go back. Traitor all over her face
She is she is really the weakest pathetic traitor ever I wouldn’t want to be her grandkids she is no one to look up too. I hope it was worth it to her.
Today is Canada Day. We are celebrating more than ever that we live in Canada, a diplomatic, sovereign country. We are very blessed to have Mark Carney as our Prime Minister. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Well Eric Trump is saying he might run for President in 2028. Said it would be easy to win. That tells me they do have a way to beat and cheat the vote. When Eric opens his mouth, he spills the facts. Remember he bragged about the Trump Org didn't need any money because Russia gave them all the money they needed. Saying that in the middle of the Russia Gate investigation.
Trump cannot leave the White House until he dies. If he does, he faces prison time. We have to bare him until then. He may allow us to vote again in the mid terms but it will be rigged towards the Republicans.
I would like to pray for you, United States, and for all the people who are going to lose their healthcare. For all the people who are in nursing homes for people who work in hospitals, I want to pray for you? I do I really do. I don’t know if I can.. maybe I can pray for the bodies that wash on the shores that were shoved out of a plane. Maybe I could pray for all the people who are gonna die. Yes I feel sorry for you. I will pray for those who did not vote for this orange clown.
Are they really even doing anything. Someone said couple days ago that when they called their representatives, the line keeps hanging up on them. That's probably because they don't want to help or deal with this, and if do then there's probably just a small amount of Dems who care. Otherwise we wouldn't be where we are right now Sadly. And we all knew he cheated so why didn't they do something back then and ask for the votes to be checked into, I feel they're all corrupt.
Hey folks—don’t bash Murkowski on the thread- make a quick call to her office in DC—202-224-6665 -and leave a recorded comment on her phone respectfully but strongly sharing your thoughts about the effect of her vote. I did—it went through.
Murkowski fucked the American people, all but HER state!
Basically, Murkowski has announced to the American people that she does not give a shit about them unless they live in her state.
Murkowski ~ let everyone suffer with the Medicaid, Medicare, etc. cuts as long as my state is ok.
OR ...SHE SOLD OUT HER SOUL FOR BIG MONEY‼️
At least she thought about it. How many GOP senators just cowardly and selfishly went along with it like Trump zombies?
I thought the Parliamentary said nope, can't do that.
She doesn’t give a damn who else suffers! They gave her concessions only for her state. So give Lisa a bribe and she falls in line.

You're so right. But then again none of it should be allowed. What she did is dispicable! Absolutely disgusting.
RESIST 💪💯💪LOUDLY AND TRY TO BE PEACEFUL!
RESIST 💪💯💪
GET IN GOOD TROUBLE♥️♥️♥️

I thought they found her making a back room deal and they used the Byrd rule on her?
I wonder if, in the future, this regime will honour the concessions made❓🤔
BOYCOTT travel to Alaska, just for starters ....
Come tour Vermont instead. Trump already screwed our Canadian tourism in Vermont. I'll put you up, Cindy!
I love Vermont and all of New England, Lesley! Thank you!
Lesley, I would love to! Fall particularly, right? Are summers hot? I live close to ag belt in CA / SF native - hate the heat!
Compared to CA, VT is not as hot. But humid!
Who goes to red states for fun? 🤣
They all have
Hey folks—don’t bash Murkowski on the thread- make a quick call to her office in DC—202-224-6665 -and leave a recorded comment on her phone respectfully but strongly sharing your thoughts about the effect of her vote.
Thank you, I just left a message.
Have been calling - 3 times so far.
I did this and also emailed her via her website. I agree use your voice respectfully and strongly!!!!
Is there anything in your system that requires her to care about nonAlaskans?
Most of your government doesn't even care about folks who voted for them
But isn't that how most of them work? Take care of ourselves by making deals for my state--thus getting re-elected. Nothing about the common good exists in this country any more.
At least she fought for her state. The other 49 just rolled.
Ok, so we should praise her for saying my State is so special screw the rest of the country? She showed us all who she is, ethics are not in her DNA but at least she bent the knee for HER state and that’s OK?
We dont have to praise her. Im saying she fought for her constituents and 49 of her colleagues didnt. The other 49 senators said they really dont care if the youngest and poorest Americans die.

The Palestinian took the part about Alaska out so she f ed her state too.
None of them do.
SHAME ON #MURKOWSKI WHO SOLD THE SOUL TO THE #NAZIS
Of course she caved!!!! B$T!h!
She’s so damn predictable.
Emphasis on the "dick"
It looks like a game she and Colins play .... they are both concerned they say.... then they are holdouts..... then over and over they only vote no when it has no impact, or one votes yes/ no leaving Senate in a tie, which the vp breaks..... it's all a game, acting like caring women, playing and gaslighting the American people.

She does this every single time!!!
She should rot in hell! Along with the rest who voted for this horrendous bill!
I used to think she was still a "reasonable" republican, but she's just like all the rest. They're all soulless cowards and hypocrites.
But, of course, she will smile at re-election time and say "look at what I did for us, Alaska!"
What happened to “we the people”?
It's become "Pee on 'em & Weeple."
Thanks for the giggle 😂 today, believe me, that is hard to do these days!
Insert deep sigh here as we Laugh to Keep from Crying
🤮
I don't think she got all that. If Alaskan's read and pay attention, they understand.
Alaska Republican US Sen. Lisa Murkowski addresses her ‘Yes’ vote on the big federal budget bill | Alaska Beacon https://share.google/8o4g3GF0bEVivubYV
She has been drinking Sarah Palin's Alaskan Kool-Aid?
Spread it around loud and clear
Protest with poster of her too!
She has let us all down so often, but now? She will never live this down. She is such a spineless cowardly monster.
As did Just Dickhead Vance, in casting the final vote.
on Meidas today Maxwell Frost, my favorite rep, explains that actually the trauma centers/s needed by Alaskans are in WA state, so that's one place she also is screwing the Alaskans in need.

Murkowski is obviously no John McCain. If it was that bad, just vote no❗️
I'm pretty sure the Parliamentarian didn't allow that exception. Nonetheless, she really sucks as a human being.
Murkowski was reacting to financial pressure by her monetary sponsors. What a meaningful example of the destructive results of Citizens United.
yup
We are in danger
I cannot express the pain of seeing everything unfolding and not being able to do anything. As an Indiana resident, my representatives don’t care about us and it certainly feels like calling our representatives isn’t doing anything. I’ve never felt so low in my life.
Same. I’m from Tennessee. 😢
Capitol
hit the streets Peacefully. the more the better.
Absolutely, I’ve been showing up as much as possible
As a fellow Hooiser, I couldn't agree more.
As an Indianapolis resident and fellow Blue-sier, I agree. It’s heartbreaking. 💔
202-224-3121 is the Capitol Switchboard number. It will connect automatically to your representative and senators.

Wailing in angry, sympathetic frustration in Kansas.
Me either. Imagine living in Florida like I do. So sad.
Send physical mail. They're required to open those. Feel free to add white glitter.
PEOPLE THE TIME IS RUNNING OUT! AMERICANS RISE UP AND GO ALL TO THE STREETS EVERY SINGLE DAY! OR TO THE WH OF THE FASCIST CRUEL EVIL NAZI 😈
This is HITLER.
Yes we are
We have BEEN in danger since the beginning.
You are not wrong at all.
We have been in danger for over 40 years. This is the fruition of the long game and a directionless and leaderless democratic party.
Fuck you Lisa Murkowski. May all these republicans burn in hell
Exactly weak bitch 😈😈
Political whore, and not even an honest one.
She is done know one will forget about this liar what she has done none of them
I emailed her office calling her a disgrace, so we will see how long before Homeland Security shows up at my door. LOL
I called her office and screamed at her nasty staff. They can come for me - I'm too damn old to care anymore.
Me too that’s how I feel nobody else will do it for us we have too. Let them know deep down inside she knows she fucked up and she can’t go back. Traitor all over her face
She is she is really the weakest pathetic traitor ever I wouldn’t want to be her grandkids she is no one to look up too. I hope it was worth it to her.
We’ve been progressing into a modern-day Handmaid’s Tale and Hunger Games horrifyingly quickly…Murkowski you screwed over everyone in the US!!
I hope whatever they promised Murowski she doesn’t get so she’ll know how it feels to get screwed over.
Today is Canada Day. We are celebrating more than ever that we live in Canada, a diplomatic, sovereign country. We are very blessed to have Mark Carney as our Prime Minister. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
You are very blessed indeed.
Start watching your borders very closely.
Yes but it’s kind of mean to brag about that to people who are suffering. Do you also eat sandwiches in front of people who are starving?
I’m Canadian. I’m a nice person. Very nice person. Nope I buy them a sandwich from Tim Hortons. Anyone they want?
Murkowski, Queen of Screw Your Neighbor. Shame on her, but shame on each and every one of these unamerican prostitutes.
It was always going to pass. They all are corrupt. I am hoping by the next president that it will all be canceled and reversed. Here's to hoping
This is a NAZI DICTATORSHIP UNLESS AMERICAN PEOPLE GO TO THE STREETS MASSIVELY AND FIGHT UNTIL THE NAZIS ARE REMOVED.
NO OTHER WAY.
THIS IS GERMANY 1939 - HITLER AGAIN😈
Don't forget Stalin. Or Mussolini.
Well Eric Trump is saying he might run for President in 2028. Said it would be easy to win. That tells me they do have a way to beat and cheat the vote.

Saying that in the middle of the Russia Gate investigation.
Daddy won’t let Eric run. He’s the only Trump he cares about. Share the Trump glory & throne? NEVER!
IF we become a Dictatorship country, Trump Sr. and groom Jr and slide him in. (based on my ChatGPT research)
Let’s hope there IS a next president- & even any elections. Remember Shitler promised his cult it’s the last time they’ll ever have to vote! 😱☠️
Trump cannot leave the White House until he dies. If he does, he faces prison time. We have to bare him until then. He may allow us to vote again in the mid terms but it will be rigged towards the Republicans.
There will be.every accurate psychic I follow has said blue wave midterms. We will keep fighting dotn ever give up
Next president…? Ummm.
He won't make it 4 years.
I don’t think this Republican administration will make it 4 years
WE won’t make it four years. Look at all the damage that has been done in just six months, which seems like six years.
We won't and something will happen in Sept that will be good news
If the GOP makes it for 4 years, our Democracy won’t….
Well it won't if we just secede and give up in advance
Which will put Vance in
Vance doesn't have the base. Once the cult leader goes so does Maga
It wouldn’t matter. He’s the VP. Trump goes down, Vance becomes president who finishes the term
I don't believe Vance would have the congressional support and fear that we see now.
He won't finish the term. Several accurate psychics I follow don't see him as the potus. Something will happen in Sept
Which is even MORE horrific a thought.
I know. I’ve never been settled that one is “better” than the other. In fact, it’s not even “better of two evils” because it’s much worse than that
Yes and if those two are gone we would be stuck with Mike Johnson!
Promise!
Don’t give them power they don’t have.
If there is another election!
Not sure why you'd think we'd even get a chance to have another election?
Yeah next president? I’m not sure there will be a fair election in the future.
She always caves. Look at her history.
We are f*cked!🤬🤬🤬
We've been fcked, we're just more fcked now!
The scariest thing about this bill is how much money it gives ICE. ICE will be the nation's largest jailer
And Trump's secret police, the equivalent of the SA, the SS, and the Gestapo rolled into one.
Yes, this is truly scary…using and stealing our taxpayer $$.🤬
Yup that's what I'm worried about too
I would like to pray for you, United States, and for all the people who are going to lose their healthcare. For all the people who are in nursing homes for people who work in hospitals, I want to pray for you? I do I really do. I don’t know if I can.. maybe I can pray for the bodies that wash on the shores that were shoved out of a plane. Maybe I could pray for all the people who are gonna die. Yes I feel sorry for you. I will pray for those who did not vote for this orange clown.
She did not cave. She planned to vote for it all along. I hope she has a good bunker in Alaska cuz she’s probably going to need one.
Fucking TRAITORS ALL OF THEM!!
Fucking traitors I knew this weak traitor was going too.She is pathetic all of them are a sad day in America
Some say it doesn’t go far enough? The hell?
I will be calling my Congressman in RI
Are they really even doing anything. Someone said couple days ago that when they called their representatives, the line keeps hanging up on them. That's probably because they don't want to help or deal with this, and if do then there's probably just a small amount of Dems who care. Otherwise we wouldn't be where we are right now Sadly. And we all knew he cheated so why didn't they do something back then and ask for the votes to be checked into, I feel they're all corrupt.
I know. It’s massively disheartening.
Hey folks—don’t bash Murkowski on the thread- make a quick call to her office in DC—202-224-6665 -and leave a recorded comment on her phone respectfully but strongly sharing your thoughts about the effect of her vote. I did—it went through.
It is but I emailed mine and made sure when they opened it I was notified
I will not keep quite unless something changes 😔
Probably the senator from Tennessee except the good ones. Mine is not good
Once again Murkowski caves and fucks America. I hope she burns in hell attached to the orange man for the rest of eternity! Spineless sell out!
One of her biggest donors is big oil.
