I don't think Murkowski is going to live this down. She deserves to be getting the attention [View all]

for her actions as a symbol of everything people hate about politicians, and I hope someone in the media asks here about this promise that Chip Roy got in exchange for his support; the promise that the administration will do everything in their power to undo the amendment she negotiated and which was approved;


"Roy said he notched a promise to dial back what he said was the “effectiveness” of an amendment preserving some clean energy tax credits negotiated by Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski and other GOP senators in their own last-minute deal.
“I probably spent about six hours yesterday with some lawyers in the administration about what they can do, frankly, to reverse … the Murkowski language that got put in there,” he said."
