If you’re pro-foster care system and you’re anti-abortion, you’re pro-death of children after they’re born.
Manchin, Collins and Murkowski (and every republican) all voted against codifying Roe v Wade, which means that they can’t even debate about keeping our basic privacy rights. The Supreme Court won’t have to worry about any walls against them when let the states choose if they should have legalized abortion and contraception or not. (Most of them will ban them.)
I’m fucking livid.

You will never hear me support a Republican in my life, but I hope with my entire soul that Lisa Murkowski wins the Alaskan senate race. She was one of the only Republicans who actually voted to convict Trump, and she was recently 1 of 12 Republicans who voted to break the filibuster on the interracial and same-sex marriage bill going through congress. Her opponent is an extremist Trump thumper, through and through. If Alaska’s gonna be red no matter what, then the least I can hope for is that it’s a sane shade of it.

The vote was bipartisan, 53-47, with Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Mitt Romney of Utah voting for Jackson. 
It's amazing that Romney didn't feel she was qualified for the DC court a year ago but somehow she has magically become "well qualified" for the Supreme court.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Sens. Lisa Murkowski and Mitt Romney say they will vote to confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s “historic nomination” to the Supreme Court, bolstering bipartisan support for the first Black woman to be nominated for the court.
The senators from Alaska and Utah announced their decisions Monday evening ahead of a procedural Senate vote to advance the nomination. They join Sen. Susan Collins of Maine as Republicans who say they will support Jackson.

The Donald Trump revenge tour is in full swing. The former president has again proven that the 2016 makeover of the Republican Party was no one-off fluke. It was a seismic shift regarding the composition of the party base, which is bluer collar and working class, and the priorities of its voters. The neo-populist moment that burst onto the scene in the 2010 midterms with the Tea Party wave reached full maturation during the 2016 cycle. In 2022, Donald Trump’s endorsement not only carries weight—virtually all his endorsed candidates have won their primary races—he’s picking off those who joined the effort to impeach him on the bogus charges manufactured by congressional Democrats
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) of Alaska is next. Murkowski and Sens. Mitt Romney (R-UT) and Susan Collins (R-ME) form a trio that has become a political bone spur to Republicans. When there is a vote where total Republican Party unity is required, they’re dithering on the sidelines. Murkowski voted to confirm Vanita Gupta, one of Biden's most radical DOJ nominees, to her position at the Department of Justice as associate attorney general. Murkowski faces a challenge from Kelly Tshibaka, who is Trump endorsed.
Murkowski got an endorsement from the state’s AFL-CIO chapter. Need I say more about Ms. Lisa? She also doesn’t care about the shifts within the party. She’s already survived one attempt to purge her and successfully fended it off in a write-in candidacy in 2010. Murkowski lost her primary to Joe Miller during the Tea Party wave. She couldn’t care less what you think of her—and she’s as independent as ever.
The one thing that could save her again for this contest is how Alaska holds its primaries. It’s through a ranked-choice voting system, which appears geared to protect incumbents. The Washington Post had a good explainer of how this voting system works:
And that brings us to Project Veritas who captured a Murkowski aide explaining how they’re hoping to rig the election: 
In the video, Josiah Nash, who works as the campaign’s Interior Coordinator, is recorded admitting that while Sen. Murkowski was publicly neutral, she secretly supported the implementation of a ranked voting system in Alaska because that is her route to victory.
“She stayed quiet and honestly it was probably best she stayed quiet on that,” Nash said, adding that “she supports it, yeah.”
Some of Murkowski’s top staffers had previously worked to pass the ballot initiative that established ranked voting in the state that would benefit the incumbent senator, which also explains her reported silence on the measure. Now, that’s some swampy stuff right there.
I will tip my hat to Murkowski for being one of the few candidates to mount a successful write-in effort following a primary loss, but that’s over. This primary will be another test of the Trump moment, as the establishment has packed enough sandbags around Murkowski to scale Mount Fuji. Alaskans go to the polls on August 16, the same day as Wyoming Republicans, who are sure to end the public career of Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY). At least one RINO is going down that night. Two would be better.

At Least Three Republicans Won’t Be Racist Obstructionists
Tumblr media
A nearly unified wall of Republican opposition to Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson cracked slightly on Monday as two more Republican senators said they would side with Democrats in supporting her, paving the way for her confirmation as the first Black woman on the U.S. Supreme Court. Senators Mitten Romney of Utah and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska joined Susan Collins of Maine, in lending their support to Judge Jackson, defying their party. The G.O.P. opposition was underscored on Monday when all 11 of the turdbag Republicans on the Judiciary Committee voted against the nomination. It was hardly surprising given what obstructionist, racist pieces of shit they are, but at least three of their fellow senators won’t go down in history as complete nightmare bigots.

FBI, US Capitol Police arrest Kenai, Alaska's Arther Graham; Did he plan to kidnap Lisa Murkowski?
Arther Charles Graham, 46, of Kenai, Alaska, United States was apparently upset over an impending eviction when he sent a web form submission to an incumbent U.S. senator on September 28, 2023. Authorities did not reveal the name of the senator. It was terrorism researcher Seamus Hughes who first flagged the filing, which indicated that the senator is female. Lisa Murkowski, 66, is Alaska’s only…
