What an idiot! If the bill isn’t any good then don’t vote for it. What kind of representation does the American people have? The state of Alaska is going to be one of the hardest hit and she’s hoping someone else will make a decision that she should’ve made herself?
I hope she’s ready to lose her position in the Senate because that was a jackass move for her to make!! These Republicans have to stop kissing the 🍑💩’s a**!!
Soul? Maga? LOL! You have to be human to have a soul or spirit. Which billionaire would Jesus give the poor, ill and elderly folks money to? sarc. Plan for the worst hope for the best.
She had a chance to really do the right thing for her constituents and the rest of the country. But she showed once again she is a gutless coward!!!! And now she is passing the buck to those in the House.
She didn't run on the party ticket at her last election -- they wouldn't nominate her. She may be in trouble for the next. Or she may resign, like Thom Tillis did.
The tax implications for Alaska of letting that awful 2017 bill lapse aren't as bad as what this will do to Alaska, cut-out or not. I'm betting the House pulls it out of the final version.
Congress should address the issues of the 2017 tax bill separately. Putting everything into one "Big Beautiful Bill" is nothing more than theatrics to pacify the Orange Nightmare anyway.
Yes, and it was the repugnants that grIped and complained CONSTANTLY when Nancy P. put through bills with more than one item. "Oh, we have to have it broken down." "We have to have everything in a separate bill." SUCH HYPOCRITES.
If Murkowski and Hee Haw Hawley would have said Nay this bill would not have passed! We must take time to "Say thank you to those Republicans who said Nay and we need to do it to show we are for Democracy. They had the balls to do it despite Trump's multiple threats.
If either one had said no, this bill would have been stopped, but make no mistake, stopped doesn't mean dead. Even if this bill gets stopped, Republicans will end up passing something.---Jason
The more the bill gets press, even on Fox, the more people hear about it, the better the odds that more Rs might get the balls to stop it. Roughly 2/3s of the country hates it. Including in R states.
Yes, that's true. But those Republicans talk among their Republicans and who doesn't like a little praise to share around. Hopefully if enough do this, the talk will convince those in the House to really think about the damage.
The only one who actually deserves any thanks, who "walked the walk," was Tillis. Rand Paul is still the annoying little shit he's always been, and Susie was allowed to vote No after Murkowski folded.
Wow! I couldn't believe Lisa Murkowski actually said this! Why didn’t she just vote “NO!” - chicken hearted scared good for nothing Senator! I hope they elect a Democrat the next time. She is a wimp and needs to go!
These people want someone else to take responsibility so they do not have to be accountable - Too bad, Lisa, you picked the WRONG side of history to make your point!
This sickens me to the core! One lousy vote and she didn't have the guts to cast it. She let the others buy her vote with concessions that aren't going to save Alaskans from the catastrophe that is this bill. No backbone! 🤮🤮🤮
I am stunned by Lisa Murkoski's vote and even more disgusted by her weird reasoning. Is she so naive as to think that there is any Republican in the House with the balls to defy Trump and vote to defeat his "beautiful budget bill"? There's no a snowball's chance in hell...
I am absolutely sickened by these people. Anybody with a lick of any common sense and decency can see this is an utterly despicable piece of garbage legislation. But those 2 traits flew out the window on November 5th. Republicans are now rotten people and this is a rotten bill. And so we all get to suffer unless we're billionaires.
She’s disgusting, right along with the rest of them. Thinking she can leave it up to someone else to have a spine and have no consequences herself. And Hawley, too. Saying one thing and doing another.
I am extremely disappointed in her. Listening to her current interviews I thought she was a strong woman but she is just like the rest of them. No Courage to do what is right
I hate the whole f*cking Republican party. You are all chicken shits! How are you going to sleep tonight, knowing that you kissed trump’s ass yet again? How do you face your mirror tomorrow morning knowing that you f*cked this whole country?
You’re lucky I’m not in charge because you all would be facing a firing squad.
I am an Alaskan & am sock of her “moderate” label. She has pulled this voting stunt before - Sup Ct judges etc - and her reasoning this time is insane. SHE could have ended this. and forced a new more humane approach but she is clearly a coward. how dare she state she hopes the bill fails in the House. I am calling her office in disbelief. So revolted by her actions & “defense” today. And Repubs clapped & shouted w joy. They r terrified of Trump. our forefathers r weeping in their graves. CALL Congress every damn day & vote them all out in 2026 (if we still have a country…).
What an idiot! If the bill isn’t any good then don’t vote for it. What kind of representation does the American people have? The state of Alaska is going to be one of the hardest hit and she’s hoping someone else will make a decision that she should’ve made herself?
She tried to include a carve out for Alaska. It didn’t happen.
I hope she’s ready to lose her position in the Senate because that was a jackass move for her to make!! These Republicans have to stop kissing the 🍑💩’s a**!!
No, she got a modified carevout - the GOP rewrote it overnight and got the parliamentarian to say yes.
This is maga, get used to it. Stupid - nonsense, anger, hate, perverts, drunks, skunks and liars. Any Questions?
Lisa just proved she has no heart or soul. The blood of American children are on her hands.
Let somebody else kill it...I don't want to take the responsibility, cos Alaska
Soul? Maga? LOL! You have to be human to have a soul or spirit. Which billionaire would Jesus give the poor, ill and elderly folks money to? sarc. Plan for the worst hope for the best.
Murkowski could have had a moment of historic political bravery, but she crumbled into cowardice. She is no John McCain.
What to you expect for someone who's only there because of who her father was?
Maga excels at cowardice. I give you ICE thugs in masks that carry no ID or real Warrants. Plan for the worst.
She had a chance to really do the right thing for her constituents and the rest of the country. But she showed once again she is a gutless coward!!!! And now she is passing the buck to those in the House.
It's always she and Collins being the flakes.
It's usually Collins, but not this time.
Yet Collins voted against this bill Martha
Yep. Miracles do happen!!
Collins still believes orange dim dong "learned his lesson" from impeachment. Plan for the worst.
No matter what the House does, I believe the Senator will come to regret her vote!
She didn't run on the party ticket at her last election -- they wouldn't nominate her. She may be in trouble for the next. Or she may resign, like Thom Tillis did.

Great name for him. We ought to hold signs saying DOWN WITH THE ORANGE NIGHTMARE!
She should have regretted the vote before she said YAY!
I hope the whole Republicant party gets what's coming to them from this disgusting bill that is nothing more than another ass kiss for Trump.
If Murkowski and Hee Haw Hawley would have said Nay this bill would not have passed! We must take time to "Say thank you to those Republicans who said Nay and we need to do it to show we are for Democracy. They had the balls to do it despite Trump's multiple threats.

They can extend the tax cuts without gutting Medicaid. That is why this version of the bill needs to go.----Jason
The house will stay in line, you know that. Plan for the worst. Get Vocal.
Yes, they can. But the whole Bill needs to go!
Not the point Jason.
The only one who actually deserves any thanks, who "walked the walk," was Tillis. Rand Paul is still the annoying little shit he's always been, and Susie was allowed to vote No after Murkowski folded.
They were never going to vote no. It’s all performative bullshit. Collins voted no because Murkowski gave her cover. .
Wow! I couldn't believe Lisa Murkowski actually said this! Why didn’t she just vote “NO!” - chicken hearted scared good for nothing Senator! I hope they elect a Democrat the next time. She is a wimp and needs to go!

She is maga, what did you expect... logic?

Bacon might, now that he's quit.

A couple earning $65,000 each per year could live off $1 Billion Dollars for about 8,000 years or 320 Generations. Let that sink in.
She’s disgusting, right along with the rest of them. Thinking she can leave it up to someone else to have a spine and have no consequences herself. And Hawley, too. Saying one thing and doing another.
She’s a coward and an idiot
And a fool, if she thinks this will work.
Alaska Lisa is a little f'ing maga prostitute. She know exactly what she is doing.
I am extremely disappointed in her. Listening to her current interviews I thought she was a strong woman but she is just like the rest of them. No Courage to do what is right
Yep, so many are all-talk, no-action. Hope their constituents remember how useless their representatives have become.
Hope is not a plan. Democratic Opposition will need to step up and explain it to the people who are getting robbed by Billionaires.
Senator Murkowski can fuck all the way off!
ALL the fucking way!!
Heard that.
I hate the whole f*cking Republican party. You are all chicken shits! How are you going to sleep tonight, knowing that you kissed trump’s ass yet again? How do you face your mirror tomorrow morning knowing that you f*cked this whole country?

Murkowski is as much a ghoul as the rest of the repub party.
She is a maga whore.
