1. gawd she is DISGUSTING

the cowardice of GOPers is mind boggling

[republianmushroom]

2. Believe Frankie speaks for a lot of us.

Screw you Sen. Murkowski.

[orleans]

3. i was reading thru that and believe me, frankie isn't the only one speaking for us! lol nt

[Raven123]

6. Frankie does not speak for me.

Murkowski and the other 49 votes for the Big Billionaires Bill are disgusting. Frankie’s profanity laced name calling added nothing to the legitimate comment on the effect of those votes. Call not a Twitter user, but hope all those Senators get an eyeful of strong comments that are to the point.

7. I didn't say "ALL" of us, I said a "lot" of us.

4. No logic to this action. If she voted against it wouldn't have passed and the concessions she wanted would have been a

moot point.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

5. Sell out

[Tribetime]

13. And she's too stupid to even see that she did that

She thinks.
She's fighting for the people of Alaska.What a joke

[phxjurist]

8. She made a trade: her vote in exchange for SNAP benefits for Alaska.

[Wiz Imp]

9. I get a Not Found message

[ShazzieB]

[orleans]

15. see my post 14 below nt

[orleans]

How fucking dare you. You don't get to vote for this sham bill & then pretend like it was some kind of hardship

You don't get to vote yes on a bill that is literally going to kill people in other states & then tell all of us how you can't sleep at night but it's what was best

You voted to kick disabled & sick people off of Medicaid, cut clean energy & close hospitals

You're a ghoul just like the rest of them. So let me be clear: FUCK YOU!

16. Thanks for this.

I was dying to know what it said. It looks like part of her tweet may have gotten cut off, but even if it was, I feel like I know a lot more than I did before reading it!

[orleans]

18. here's her entire sorry excuse for voting for it.

i want a copy of that interview she gave to some reporter and she stared at him as if she hated him so much for 14 seconds!! i saw it on tv yesterday (i was like holy shit! as if it was the reporter that screwed the pooch)

anyway, here's her full confession on the sewer:

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.

19. Oh, geez.

Thanks for providing the full text.it was very informative!

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.

Sen. Murkowski:

Hell no, this bill is not good for the rest of our nation, and no matter how many pretty bows you try to tie on it, it never will be anything but a big ugly mess!

And IF you all really do know that, then none of you should have voted to pass it!

[IcyPeas]

11. On her instagram too (i just posted a minute ago)

[Jack Valentino]

12. Lisa, vote for it then ask for changes?! That was a Susan Collins thing to do....

except Susan voted against it.

Way to betray the people of Alaska! Your minor concessions did little to prevent the damage that Alaska (and the rest of us!)
are going to suffer, thanks to YOU!

Oh, and forget about joining the Democratic party. Guess that was horseshit to begin with.

[Passages]

17. Phony concern, phony heart.

I can't stand Republicans. They have been the death rattle for this country for ages.
