Murkowski built her reputation as a bipartisan during Administrations that didn’t test her. When actual courage was needed she capitulated, fearing for her safety. And now her flood ravaged constituents will have no practical FEMA support to rebuild their lives. Lisa will be fine however.

“Until we have the courage to recognise cruelty for what it is - whether its victim is human or animal - we cannot expect things to be much better in this world. We cannot have peace among men whose hearts delight in killing any living creature.”

It's like Nixon's "mistakes were made." Doesn't take responsibility; as if somehow mistakes just happened

One thing you learn in recovery circles is that an apology for your behavior should not include any justification words like "while I never intended to harm anyone." Otherwise it's a walls-up personal defense, not an apology.

Klippenstein: The memo says it considers as indicators things like anti-Christian sentiment, anti-government views, and anti-traditional family positions.

These are descriptors that would cover millions and millions of people in this country.

Wait one damn minute‼️

I know Lisa Murkowski isn’t up on her high horse talking about the lack of trust between Republicans and Democrats after she cast the deciding “Yes” on the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill and slipped in backroom deals for Alaska.

She’s part of the problem & needs to own it!

I will go out of my way to make sure I never hire someone who worked for ICE in this administration. I hope others do the same.

They deserve prison and I hope that happens to them. But I can do my part regardless.
