@RandyEBarnett You are an embarrassment to Georgetown University, which takes some doing since Georgetown was founded with the proceeds from the sale of slaves from plantations owned by the Catholic Church.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski
Sen. Lisa Murkowski@lisamurkowski·
This was one of the hardest votes I have taken during my time in the Senate.   My goal throughout the reconciliation process has been to make a bad bill better for Alaska, and in many ways, we have done that. In addition to extending pro-growth tax cuts, a larger child tax credit, and no tax on tips or overtime, we made a historic investment and modernization of the Coast Guard; enhanced our border security and national defense; funded aviation safety, including AWOS/VWOS systems that will save lives; and provided tax-exempt status for the Community Development Quota Program to help western Alaska communities establish a sustainable economy, among other provisions.   We have advanced new opportunities for resource development in the NPR-A, the Coastal Plain, and Cook Inlet that will help us create jobs and increase the share of revenues our state receives. I also co-led the Senate effort to restore a slightly longer phase-out for wind and solar tax credits while deleting a punitive excise tax targeting them.   Those provisions will benefit our economy, but it is the people of Alaska that I worry about the most, especially when it comes to the potential loss of social safety net programs—Medicaid coverage and SNAP benefits—that our most vulnerable populations rely on.   To address the bill’s shortcomings, we have helped our communities through a $50 billion rural health fund. This will mean hundreds of millions of dollars for Alaska hospitals, community health centers, and other providers. We secured commitments from the CMS Administrator to continue to address longstanding priorities which will directly help Bartlett, Fairbanks Memorial, Central Peninsula, and other hospitals in Alaska.   In the SNAP program, we have added tribal exemptions for work requirements, delayed cost-share penalties to help Alaska get benefits to the people who need them, and included work requirement waivers that align with our Medicaid policies. We also secured commitments from the Secretary of Agriculture to provide additional flexibilities to Alaska for SNAP.   But, let’s not kid ourselves. This has been an awful process—a frantic rush to meet an artificial deadline that has tested every limit of this institution. While we have worked to improve the present bill for Alaska, it is not good enough for the rest of our nation—and we all know it.   My sincere hope is that this is not the final product. This bill needs more work across chambers and is not ready for the President’s desk. We need to work together to get this right.

@SenMikeLee Unless you apologize for your hateful posts about the assassinations in Minnesota, this is just so much hypocritical, “covering your ass” bs.

Taxpayers should not foot the bill for bogus payments. Before the government spends your hard-earned money, my new bill requires it to verify that the payment is not fraudulent, duplicative, or improper. This commonsense step will save billions.👇 townhall.com/tipsheet/sarah…

DOGE is literally one of the most popular government initiatives in history. 73% of Americans say they support cutting government waste. Trump brought in the smartest man on earth to do it… …the Left destroyed Elon for it …the GOP won’t vote on it I can’t believe this.

Lindsey Graham@LindseyGrahamSC·
I appreciate all that President @realDonaldTrump has done to try to end this terrible war. But to end any war, you must have willing partners. As of yet, Putin is not willing. As to Putin: we must remember this is the man who facilitated the Assad Regime in dropping barrel bombs from helicopters on innocent civilians and intentionally targeted hospitals in Syria. The same barbaric behavior is playing out in Ukraine. To the Russian people: Putin is leading you into the abyss. ❌Tens of thousands of Russian soldiers killed and wounded. ❌An economy smaller than the size of Italy with more pressure coming. ❌Russia is more isolated than ever. This doesn’t make Russia great. It makes it a pariah state. You, the Russian people and military, can do better.

@RealAlexJones You have your head up your gas. The average price of gas is UP since Trump’s inauguration. It was 3.09 on 1/21/25. Today it is 3.18 per gallon.

The cost of a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline has dropped more than a dollar on average nationwide since President Trump took office 125 days ago. That’s real progress that you will NOT see reported by the globalist controlled corporate press.
