  2. If Sen #MitchMcConnell (R-KY) remains absent from the #Senate, 3 #Republican votes against #ToddBlanche would sink his nomination for US AG. Senator #LisaMurkowski (R-AK) became Friday morning the 2nd Republican to say she would oppose his nomination in a floor vote, joining Sen #SusanCollins (R-ME). Sen #BillCassidy (R-LA) has not announced his position, but his opposition could lead to Blanche’s rejection. #Democrats uniformly oppose his nomination.

  3. In addition to ‘concerned’ #SusanCollins , #Alaska Senator #LisaMurkowski has said she will vote ‘No’ on the confirmation of #ToddBlanche for Attorney General. politico.com/live-updates/2026

    Since #MitchMcConnell will abstain from hell, only two #Republicans will be given ‘permission’ to vote ‘No’ by #Republican ‘leadership’, and neither #JohnCornyn of #Texas nor #ThomTillis of #NorthCarolina were given their balls back yet by #Trump.

    So that puts #BillCassidy on the Louisiana 🌶️ seat!

  11. #GOP Sen. #LisaMurkowski comes out against #Trump's #ElectionBill, with a warning to her party

    The Alaskan reminded her fellow Republicans that they claimed to oppose any new #FederalElectionLaws just a few years ago, insisting that the issue should be left to the states.

    by Sahil Kapur, February 10, 2026

    WASHINGTON — "Sen. Lisa Murkowski became the first Republican senator to speak out against the SAVE Act, a sweeping election bill backed by President Donald Trump that would require proof of #citizenship to vote nationwide.

    "In doing so, the Alaskan reminded her colleagues on Tuesday that they roundly claimed to oppose new federal election laws as recently as Joe Biden’s presidency.

    " 'When Democrats attempted to advance sweeping election reform legislation in 2021, Republicans were unanimous in opposition because it would have #FederalizedElections, something we have long opposed,' Murkowski said in a statement. 'Now, I’m seeing proposals such as the SAVE Act and #MEGA that would effectively do just that. Once again, I do not support these efforts.' "

  15. Only Two Republicans Voted Against #Trump Defunding #SesameStreet

    Senate #Republicans just took a wrecking ball to #PublicBroadcasting.

    Malcolm Ferguson
    July 17, 2025

    "Only two Republican senators broke the line to vote against their party’s plan to defund the #CorporationForPublicBroadcasting.

    "#Alaska’s #LisaMurkowski and #Maine’s #SusanCollins joined Senate Democrats in opposition to Republican cuts to organizations like PBS and NPR, and the smaller stations that they fund. While PBS and NPR would still continue at the national level, the cuts would likely devastate those local stations that rely on them.

    "The Senate approved $9 billion dollars of cuts early Thursday morning, with $1.1 billion in cuts to public broadcasting and $8.8 billion from foreign aid programs like #USAID, which #ElonMusk’s #DOGE slashed earlier this year.

    " 'The vast majority of this funding, more than 70 percent, actually flows to local television and radio stations,' Collins said last month during an earlier stage of the deliberation. 'In #Maine, this funding supports everything from #EmergencyCommunications in rural areas to coverage of high school basketball championships and [a] locally produced high school quiz show. Nationally produced television programs such as #AntiquesRoadshow, #DanielTigersNeighborhood, are also enjoyed by many throughout our country.'

    " 'I understand … the concern about subsidizing the national radio news programming that for years has had a discernibly partisan bent,' she added.
    'There are, however, more targeted approaches to addressing that bias at NPR than rescinding all of the funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.' She backed up that thinking with her vote on Thursday morning, along with Murkowski."
