Murkowski knows what she is doing and that only makes it worse [View all]

She just revealed that she never voted for trump in a new memoir, according to Kyle Griffin on bluesky. He quotes her as saying "I never let Donald Trump get to me. I never voted for him and I ignored his threats." She says Trump's election in 2016 "hastened a historic decline in the institutions of American justice."

And yet....she will vote for this horrendous bill even though she "never let Donald Trump get to me." If that's true, why is she voting for it?

I have no respect for this person.
