For months now I have been appalled at Sen. Murkowski's unwillingness to speak the truth about Trump, that truth being his misogyny, racism, nativism, xenophobia, and general unworthiness of his office, which he has more than amply proved by his own utterances. And now she seems to be solidifying her devil's bargain simply because Dubke "will be a plus for Alaska," in her words.

Senator, whatever Alaska-related goodies might be extracted from this administration is not worth the damage it stands to do to the country as a whole, not to mention the world. Votes for Planned Parenthood and against Betsy Devos are not going to outweigh the catastrophe in which you are now complicit. For goodness sake, say something!

As for Sullivan, my hopes are nil seeing as how he's little more than an empty suit. But Lisa is smarter than this.
