@lisamurkowski.bsky.social Senator, thank you and Susan Collins for not voting to confirm Kash Patel as FBI head. I applaud you for stressing that Zelenskyy is NOT a dictator. Republicans have the ruby slippers. All this madness could be stopped right now if more had your courage. #NoKingsInAmerica

Absurd that all GOP senators but 2 voted to make a grifter/QAnonish conspiracy-theory-monger who was paid $25,000 by a Kremlin-funded propaganda operative to head the FBI. He also has helped Putin by repeatedly claiming Russia did not attack the 2016 election.

Murphy: "There's no separation between the Kremlin & the White House right now. The White House is a full-time Kremlin propaganda operation..there's a real probability American troops are going to have fight abroad to protect the global world order & our allies & perhaps American sovereignty itself"
