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 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.

Republican House impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas dismissed by the Senate as Unconstitutional in a party-line vote.
Given that the impeachment was predicated on white supremacist "replacement theory"-type bullshit about the border, this is entirely proper, and that it was a party-line vote is to the shame of every Senate Republican (including Lisa Murkowski, who reportedly voted "present" (coward)).

FBI, US Capitol Police arrest Kenai, Alaska's Arther Graham; Did he plan to kidnap Lisa Murkowski?

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…

CNN
—
Alaska Rep. Mary Peltola, the Democrat who won a special election that sent her to Congress this summer, will once again thwart former Gov. Sarah Palin’s bid for a political comeback. CNN projected Wednesday that Peltola will win the race for Alaska’s at-large House seat after the state’s ranked choice voting tabulation, defeating Palin and Republican Nick Begich III.

Congressional Responses to Dobbs
With all of the attention focused on the Supreme Court in light of the Dobbs decision Congress' responses have been largely ignored. Here is some context for how Congress' response to Dobbs has gone so far.
The Supreme Court released its opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health on June 24, 2022. Within a little over a month of the release, a robust discussion developed within both Houses of Congress on whether there should be a legislative response to this decision. Congress is notorious for lots of discussion combined with little action. Based on Congress’ recent history, perhaps nothing will…
