Re: “ ‘Agonizing’: How Alaska’s pivotal Republican senator decided to vote for Donald Trump’s bill” (July 1, Nation):
The servility of Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and different Republican senators goes past the “my state first” excuse for supporting President Donald Trump’s Huge Stunning “Bull.” Trump has declared and demonstrated he’ll ignore the mandates of laws, break the regulation and violate the Structure by refusing to spend cash appropriated by Congress and even claw again by rescission funds already contracted if he personally dislikes their goal.
Guarantees to Murkowski for Medicaid, like all Trump guarantees, are meaningless. In the event you promote your soul to the satan, at the very least you must anticipate one thing in return.
