10. Because she's a coward who repeatedly lied to her constituents about this

Fealty to the orange messiah is apparently priority 1.

Edit to add: And that carveout to exempt Alaska from the Medicaid/SNAP cuts? Senator Wyden is saying that it got stripped - so her incentive isn't even in the bill.

Wanna laugh? Barrasso and Thune added their states to it in an attempt to show the parliamentarian that it wasn't just an Alaska clause.

Assholes.

Big update: after overnight meetings with the parliamentarian my team successfully got these exemptions stripped from the bill. Special giveaways to protect certain states from these devastating Medicaid cuts is the worst form of hypocrisy.
