Quick lunchtime cartoon.
People have - properly - disparaged Lisa #Murkowski for her vote.
It matters, though, to point out that she exemplifies the GOP:
She knew it would cause terrible harm to those who would lose medical care.
But, so long as she got what SHE wanted, fuck everyone else.

A book that needs to be written:
“How to Soil Your Legacy and Betray Your Country With a Single Vote” by Lisa Murkowski
On May 20, 2025, Donald Trump, Mike Johnson, and Lisa McClain celebrated a narrow victory as Trump's significant budget bill passed with a 218-214 vote. Despite the success, dissent arose from two Republicans and critics claiming the bill favors the affluent while leaving vulnerable populations behind. This development stirs internal party conflict and concerns for future implications.

Sure 17 million Americans will lose health insurance but at least a few whalers will get cheaper harpoons

Feels like the political press has identified #Murkowski as the worst (most hypocritical) offender among the senators who voted for #Trump's bill?
@jamesbritt 
Murkowski (verb) :
2) To call "Take backsies" as a method of obfuscation immediately after doing the act in definition 1.
Murkowski (verb) :
To support something you know will harm large numbers of people, but you will avoid that harm.
#Murkowski
"Having sold out hungry children in Louisiana, sick children in Oklahoma, and elderly nursing-home patients and their families in Vermont, Tennessee, Wisconsin, Colorado, Oregon, and 45 other states, Murkowski now is looking for someone—anyone—to bail her out. Make Lisa Murkowski remember this as the worst day of her career."

That face when you sell your soul to the devil:
“It was such a hardship for me to vote for this awful bill, when I could have yanked the plug and killed it all by myself.”
Fuck you, Lisa #Murkowski , you craven Republican #fascism enabler. May all the children who die as a result of this bill haunt you day and night for the rest of your useless life.
Imagine being fooled by this act after a decade of fake moderation by the GOP.
@petergleick #Murkowski 's price $25Bn.
#Murkowski 's attitude: Screw the U.S. I brought home the bacon for #Alaska.
$25Bn for Alaska. That's some juicy pork.
#Murkowski -- screw everyone else. Let me bring the bacon home to #Alaska
#Collins and #Murkowski drive me crazy. "Agonizing" and "very concerning" they say while they vote for stuff that damages America.
She was busted for trying to cut a deal only for Alaskans, while screwing the rest of the country.
So she's admitting she knows the bill is bad. But if she could have gotten an exception for her constituents, then to Hell with everybody else.
She needs to be voted out.
#Murkowski the #Coward refuses to stand up and be counted.
Even Susie was concerned enough (but if Murkowski had flipped, wanna bet Susie would have flipped, too?)
