Go Girls !
Obama: Thank you so much for defending ObamaCare during my tenure.
It is refreshing to hear any Senator or Representative, Democrat or Republican, who is willing to risk everything to truly represent the best interests of their constituents instead of party agenda. Bravo, ladies!
Lest we forget, Murkowski ran as an independent and defeated a Teabag Republican candidate in the 2010 Senate race after having lost the Republican primary. As a write-in candidate and despite her not-so-easy to spell name, she was re-elected handily to the Senate where she caucused with the GOP. The Republican party needs her much more than she needs them.
There aren’t many current officeholders who I would consider fit to serve as a lower-case-r representative of a future decent and honest opposition party for the Dems (which we will need), but sometimes I think these two could.
Murkowski was the last senator to leave and got to gavel in the nine pro forma sessions which will prevent Donnie from making any recess appointments. That was a nice touch.
Didn’t see the interview. Did Bash ask Murkowski to verify and reiterate she was threatened with payback by Ryan Zinke for her vote?

From Arlo Guthrie’s Alice’s Restaurant:
…“Walk into the shrink wherever you are, just walk in, say, “Shrink, you
Can get anything you want at Alice’s Restaurant”, and walk out
You know, if one person, just one person, does it, they may think he’s
Really sick and they won’t take him
And if two people do it, in harmony, they may think they’re both faggots and
They won’t take either of them
And if three people do it! Can you imagine three people walkin’ in, singin’
A bar of “Alice’s Restaurant” and walkin’ out? They may think it’s an
Organization!
And can you imagine fifty people a day? I said FIFTY people a day
Walkin’ in, singin’ a bar of “Alice’s Restaurant” and walkin’ out? Friends
They may think it’s a Movement,…”
Congratulations to Senators Murkowski and Collins. Their courage stands in sharp relief to Senators Heller and Capito. I hope each will reap what they have sown.
Great photo.
Trump: “Me. Me. Great. Beautiful. Me. Total Non Sequitur.”
Collins (thinking): “I would be so much happier to be stuck in traffic in Lagos right now.”
Murkowski (thinking): “If that thing on his head winks at me one more time, I’m going to stab it with a fucking fork”
It took to strong ladies to stand up to the Republican amoral leadership. They did it with courage, honesty and PERSISTANCE.
Attacks against PP were the ultimate misogyny.
Ever since the trump insanity started, we’ve been waiting for a crack in the façade, a hint of normalcy, a frank admission by Republicans that they are propping up a madman.
It seems all the men were looking at each other saying, “I’m not gonna be the first. I’ll lose his base. The party has to stick together.” Doing ridiculous and dangerous things for all the wrong reasons. Betraying their oaths of office.
So did it take two fed-up, fearless women to break the trance? Now other Republicans are banding together to prevent trump from breaking any more of our country. It’s a start.
Fully agree. Also please remember a valiant Democratic woman, Senator Mazie Hirono of Hawaii interrupted her treatment and surgery for stage four kidney cancer to come vote against the catastrophic sham of a healthcare plan.
Another instance of Trump not knowing his history. Anyone who remembered the Alaska 2010 Senate race would know that an appeal to vote for the party wasn’t going to work on Murkowski - not after the way the party abandoned her in 2010.
Sure, Murkowski’s still a Republican, but she ain’t putting party before her constituents any more.
Oh, the sweet payback of a woman holding power over Trump; you know he just seethes at the idea of any woman having the upper hand…ever. Lisa, walk toward the light. Switch parties.
The Sunday shows just found their replacement “Maverick”.
Sorry Flake… actions beat words.
In other words:
"My vote cannot be bought but it CAN be rented. You just didn’t want to pay the rates."
Murkowski: "I’m voting for Alaska…
POSUS:That’s not how it works!
Murkowski: Oh? How does it work?
POSUS: The biggest electoral college victory ever, the most beautiful chocolate cake, a crowd of millions, lock her up!
Murkowski: And the strawberries?
