Shocker: Lisa Murkowski admits she fell for Trump's BS again

In the most predictable series of events, GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska said that she feels duped by President Donald Trump for not sticking to the agreement they made in exchange for her cowardly vote for the “One Big, Beautiful Bill Act."

“I feel cheated. I feel like we made a deal and then hours later, a deal was made to somebody else,” she told the Alaska Daily News.

Murkowski was referencing the Senate's changes to the House version of the bill, which protected tax credits for wind and solar projects for 12 months as opposed to their immediate cancellation.

But just 6 days after the Senate passed the bill—thanks to Murkowski's vote—Trump issued an executive order declaring that, within 45 days, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent could begin terminating wind and solar tax credits and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum could create new regulations on clean energy projects.

It’s all a charade so she could pretend she has principles. Not one of them “falls” for anything, they willingly and happily destroy the safety net and loot the public funds. It’s been the right wing’s dream for decades.

Fascism has always been the end game for these sons of bitches.

She got something else out of this. This is just a CYA routine. I don't want to hear about how heartbroken she is that lying Donny did what? Lied to you? What did you get out of this, Lisa? Might as well tell us. We'll know as soon as we see it.

express disgust/float changing parties/capitulate when offered state carve-outs/scurry out of the Senate chambers in an attempt to avoid reporters/feign regret for her "aye" vote when carve-outs disappear..
