Murkowski blasts ‘callous’ DOGE, backs USAID
The Hill ^ | 03/06/2025 | Elizabeth Crisp

Posted on 03/06/2025 10:38:45 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) is again speaking out against the Trump administration — this time blasting efforts led by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to gut the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) by slashing jobs and foreign contracts.

Murkowski, a crucial swing vote in the Republican-controlled Senate, said Thursday in a post on social platform X that she recently met with USAID employees from her state.

“They not only informed me of the confusing and callous handling of personnel matters by [the Office of Personnel Management] and DOGE, but they also painted an incredibly troubling picture of what the world looks like without humanitarian assistance from the United States,” she wrote. “Although I support measures to find inefficiencies within the agency, USAID’s mission to keep people healthy and safe in even the most remote corners of the world should not be eliminated.”

Why doesn’t she just switch parties already? I mean it’s not like she’s hiding behind the mask anymore. She’s a democrat through and through in everything except the little “R” beside her name.

We’ll know who was profiting personally from USAID.

She’s not aware that Clinton fired 377,000 Federal
employees?

*****

Isn’t that pretty much exactly the reason the UN was established? Why are we funding both? Or either? She can fund it with her own contributions and those others who care so deeply, outside the government. Have a bake sale, or a tele-thon.

I’m tired of paying for graft in the name of humanitarianism.

And if she believes these grifters stories, she’s too stupid to be in the government.

When we are telling US Citizen there no money for them after they lose everything to natural disasters there is ZERO legitimacy for the US Government to be spending $40,000,000,000 a year around the world on “humantiarian” aid

I think I’m now seeing why she never sides with the good guys. She wants that money to keep flowing her way.

What will it take to get Charlie Kirk or Scott Presler to live in Alaska until we are rid of this witch? They seem to be the only ones who know how to get people to stop voting for idiots.

Will anyone ever acknowledge that the US cannot exist if more debt is piled on?

“Murkowski blasts ‘callous’ DOGE, backs USAID”

good ... then she can vote along with all the Democrats for the bill that Lindsey Graham wants to bring to the floor that itemizes each and every insane, corrupt, wasteful and/or fraudulent expenditure uncovered by DOGE ...

I’m not Lisa, my name is Trotsky
Lisa left you years ago
My eyes are not blue, but mine won’t leave you
Till the sunlight has touched your face

The only explanation is, Lisa’s become a commie pod person.
