Reality dawns for Lisa Murkowski [View all]

[True Dough]

I believe she's one of the better ReThugs, not a MAGAt. But, the fact of the matter is that she's on the wrong side. She supported a dictator wannabe and now the price of that is becoming abundantly clear.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski
@lisamurkowski

Dozens of Alaskans – potentially over 100 in total – are being fired as part of the Trump administration’s reduction-in-force order for the federal government.

Many of these abrupt terminations will do more harm than good, stunting opportunities in Alaska and leaving holes in our communities. We can’t realize our potential for responsible energy and mineral development if we can’t permit projects. We will be less prepared to manage summer wildfires if we can’t support those on the front lines. Our tourism economy will be damaged if we don’t maintain our world-class national parks and forests.

I share the administration’s goal of reducing the size of the federal government, but this approach is bringing confusion, anxiety, and now trauma to our civil servants—some of whom moved their families and packed up their whole lives to come here. Indiscriminate workforce cuts aren’t efficient and won’t fix the federal budget, but they will hurt good people who have answered the call to public service to do important work for our nation.

My staff and I are in close touch with agency and department officials, trying to get answers about the impact of these terminations. Our goal is to forestall unnecessary harm—for people and Alaska’s federal priorities—but the response so far has been evasive and inadequate.

Senator, it’s going to get much much worse.

You supported President Trump who doesn’t trust you and the congress. As a result he has assigned co-president Musk to do your job and now you are powerless.

At this point the only way for Congress to regain control is impeachment.

You failed Alaskans and all Americans by voting for his Russian assets, Fox pundits, election deniers, conspiracy theorists, useful idiots, DOGE and other frauds. What could possibly go wrong?

Didn't You Vote for most All of Trump's Appointees? Are You going to Vote for Trillions in Tax Cuts that take away food, Medicaid and other essentials, from Children and their Grandparents? How many Children with Autism, ADHD and other disorders will do without EIP?
