BLM’s announcement comes after Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, the lawmakers behind legislation to open ANWR, broke with President Donald Trump and GOP leadership and called for an end to the government shutdown.

Murkowski said Tuesday that federal agencies can be reopened that “don’t have anything to do with border security.” Murkowski’s remarks came ahead of Trump’s televised address calling for Congress to fund a U.S.-Mexico border wall.

Hmmmm. Lisa Murkowski (R-epansiecan AK) should 'DEMAND' that PDJT open the government back up. It seems to work for the D-lusional side of the aisle so well.

Alaska...can you PLEASE Primary this woman next election cycle? Or put her on a snow mobile and point her toward Nome?

Murkowski said Tuesday that federal agencies can be reopened that “don’t have anything to do with border security.”

This is nonsense. It's all about the budget and I wouldn't sign any budget that doesn't have the funding. Trump certainly will not get the money any other way.

And if Trump was smart he wouldn't allow a rise in the debt ceiling in March.

Murkowski is a worthless traitor. Mitch the spineless should tossed from the Judiciary Comitee for voting against Kavanaugh. If it was the Rats she would have been removed in a second.

Lisa McCainski strikes again ...

[Olog-hai]

Great way to lose your job, Мурковский.

[HombreSecreto]

Hey Murkowski, keep opening your mouth and your pet ANWR will never be open.

Getting the message yet?

[Mariner]

Lisa, meet the hammer.

Now sit down and STFU.

[Agatsu77]

Alaska, what the hell is wrong with you guys. Really, you people really keep voting for this moron?

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Ha!

Trump (may re-election be upon him) told the BLM to stand down. Now, Murkowski has to explain why she is more concerned about DC workers (and her phoney-baloney job, therein), than she is concerned about the voters of Alaska and their jobs, livelihoods and ability to “pay the mortgage”.

Art of the Deal (think NY Unions and high-rise construction)

Where’s that picture of Feinstein cornering/threatening Murkowski?

[atc23]

Ahhhhh, yes - a female breaks ranks with her president and CIC.

Color me surprised. /s

[rktman]

With an AK with 50 rd mag and finger inside the trigger guard. That photo?

Alaska Ping

My niece and several others polluted Alaska when they moved from Oregon

so many Republican state organizations are corrupt. It’s because nobody pays much attention to them. I wish they were under the spotlight more. The head of the Tarrant County (Dallas)Republicans is a Muslim. How did he get in that position? Nobody pays any attention, we are always riveted by national news.

One recalls the picture you mention, but no, this was between DiFi and Murkowski, a highly personal, and emotionally charged interaction in a Capitol hallway somewhere...

Like there was something dark, secret and personal between them...

One could be inspired to write a LifeTime movie from it...

[Gasshog]

Isn’t tarrant Co. Fort Worth?

People who are culturally American and not tribal split their votes somewhat evenly, so any place with a strong presence of a cohesive minority will tip elections to those who pander to that cohesive minority.

Alaska is around 15% American Indian, and strongly supports Murkowski. She gets them federal goodies.

[fortheDeclaration]

They did, but the GOP Establishment supported her run as a 3rd Party candidate.
