Shocker: Lisa Murkowski admits she fell for Trump's BS again [View all]

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.
