Seriously, it doesn’t matter at this point if Murkowski is complicit or just incompetent. Alaskans can’t be stupid enough to fall for her shit again.

She didn’t believe any of that. She just wanted an excuse to vote for Trump.

Yep. She wants to be seen as “defending” her constituents, but does not give two shits about them in reality. The whole party is rotten, whatever they pretend to do or be.

Politico & Punchbowl report House Republican leadership is shutting down the Rules Committee - which is essential for moving party-line bills on the floor - for the week rather than vote on Democratic amendments on the Epstein files.
Dems have effectively halted Republican legislation in the House:

I’m so sick of our entire civilization being ripped down by people like this dipshit.

After watching the video linked below, I’m wondering how to make it easier for voters to identify the bad apples during the midterms:
I’ve been saying for a while that voters need a report card for their members of Congress - a simple listing of vote counts (to make it clear who isn’t showing up enough, or at all), as well as a percentage reflecting their support for legislation and confirmations. That would make it clear who has been supporting the current regime, despite comments to the contrary. A bonus would be to list whether or not they voted for or against major budget or policies covered in the news (maybe a maximum of 10 items).
This site provides data on votes by chamber and type:
