"I made a deal with face eating leopards that would allow them to eat faces of poverty-stricken and working families in every state in the US *except* Alaska, and now the face eating leopards are trying to eat my face. How could I have known?!" — Sen. Murkowski, essentially
Sen. Lisa Murkowski said she feels “cheated” after she won a concession in the tax and spending bill to protect wind and solar projects, only to see the Trump administration issue orders that she said seem designed to quash such projects.
Sen. Murkowski, feeling ‘cheated’ by Trump actions against wind and solar, says she’ll go to bat for Alaska projects
Murkowski won a concession in the Big, Beautiful Bill to protect tax credits for 12 months for wind and solar. But she said a recent presidential order and Interior directive undercut those plans.

To be clear: Trump IS aligned with Putin. It’s obvious. This was a press ambush for an audience of one, Putin!

It's safe to say that all Biden was expected to do was save us from Trump. But he didn't stop there.
America recovered faster than any G7 country. He saved NATO and Ukraine. He freed hostages. And at the pinnacle of his accomplishments, he passed the torch.
Hero.

Yesterday, I visited with the staff and incredible volunteers at a local senior center in Kent County. They provide roughly 190 seniors with meals every single day - thanks to Meals on Wheels. Any freeze on federal grants threatens to end this.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.
This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

Apparently, allowing Americans to file their tax returns for free is a bad thing. A big gift to the Big Tax lobby and a big middle finger to Americans.
