Who has to duck her head
When the moon is low,
Keeps dropping keys all night long

A thread of MAGA protesting with guns and not getting murdered for it...

@lisamurkowski But it was the final product….

[sonia @SMAE1222]

Why didn’t @SenToddYoung and @SenatorBanks fight to protect safety nets for people in Indiana like @lisamurkowski did for people in Alaska? 🤔

[Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski]

This was one of the hardest votes I have taken during my time in the Senate.

My goal throughout the reconciliation process has been to make a bad bill better for Alaska, and in many ways, we have done that. In addition to extending pro-growth tax cuts, a larger child tax credit, and no tax on tips or overtime, we made a historic investment and modernization of the Coast Guard; enhanced our border security and national defense; funded aviation safety, including AWOS/VWOS systems that will save lives; and provided tax-exempt status for the Community Development Quota Program to help western Alaska communities establish a sustainable economy, among other provisions.

We have advanced new opportunities for resource development in the NPR-A, the Coastal Plain, and Cook Inlet that will help us create jobs and increase the share of revenues our state receives. I also co-led the Senate effort to restore a slightly longer phase-out for wind and solar tax credits while deleting a punitive excise tax targeting them.

Those provisions will benefit our economy, but it is the people of Alaska that I worry about the most, especially when it comes to the potential loss of social safety net programs—Medicaid coverage and SNAP benefits—that our most vulnerable populations rely on.

To address the bill’s shortcomings, we have helped our communities through a $50 billion rural health fund. This will mean hundreds of millions of dollars for Alaska hospitals, community health centers, and other providers. We secured commitments from the CMS Administrator to continue to address longstanding priorities which will directly help Bartlett, Fairbanks Memorial, Central Peninsula, and other hospitals in Alaska.

In the SNAP program, we have added tribal exemptions for work requirements, delayed cost-share penalties to help Alaska get benefits to the people who need them, and included work requirement waivers that align with our Medicaid policies. We also secured commitments from the Secretary of Agriculture to provide additional flexibilities to Alaska for SNAP.

But, let’s not kid ourselves. This has been an awful process—a frantic rush to meet an artificial deadline that has tested every limit of this institution. While we have worked to improve the present bill for Alaska, it is not good enough for the rest of our nation—and we all know it.

My sincere hope is that this is not the final product. This bill needs more work across chambers and is not ready for the President’s desk. We need to work together to get this right.

@YaderMorazan Como a cambiado el mundo en 5 meses. Cuando comencé a leer el post pensé que era sobre un caso en los E.E.U.U. Por que ahora estudiantes universitarios son agarrados por ICE exactamente de esa forma. 😢

Nobody asked this guy why he wasn’t wearing a suit in the Oval Office… Hell, nobody even asked him to take off his baseball cap.

[Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney]

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine. History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for.

@YaderMorazan Ortega!!!

[Miguel Mendoza @Mmendoza1970]

Desde hace diez días la policía sandinista secuestró a Yasser Morazán, un conocido activista político que abandonó el exilio en 2021 y regresó a Nicaragua. Desde ese momento vivía con bajo perfil, tanto así que había cerrado sus redes sociales.
De acuerdo a información conseguida desde La Modelo, a Morazán lo tienen recluido en ese conocido centro penitenciario.

The 1/23/25, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement memo puts beneficiaries of the Humanitarian Parole for Nicaraguans at risk of deportation. They came to the USA under a program offered to them by the US. They should not be treated as criminals.

Catorce años después de la primera reelección ilegal de Daniel Ortega, la Corte Interamericana condena a Nicaragua por uso abusivo del poder para reelegir a Daniel Ortega en 2011. Era ilegítimo en 2011 y también se reeligió de forma ilegal en 2016 y 2021. https://t.co/zrH6J7sNtP

Tengan cuidado a quien le piden consejos legales sobre sus casos de migracion. Recuerden que es ilegal dar asesoría legal en Estados Unidos - al menos que la persona tenga un título que lo certifique.

🚨Pedí al Departamento de Seguridad Nacional PROTEGER a cubanos que esperan un ajuste de estatus por la Ley de Ajuste.

TAMBIÉN debemos proteger a venezolanos y nicaragüenses sin antecedentes penales que están en el proceso de asilo.

¡No los castiguen por los errores de Biden!

@SenatorCollins Thank you!

@hjacuna @Mmendoza1970 🤣 me rio para no llorar.

[María Corina Machado @MariaCorinaYA]

Venezolanos,

Hoy, el Bravo Pueblo demostró cómo se VENCE al miedo!

Nunca me he sentido tan orgullosa de ser venezolana.

Gracias, gracias, a todos los ciudadanos que salieron a las calles a reivindicar nuestra victoria del 28 de julio y a COBRARLA!

Mi corazón está con el venezolano que fue herido de bala cuando las fuerzas represivas del régimen me detuvieron.

Yo estoy ahora en un lugar seguro y con más determinación que nunca antes de seguir junto a ustedes HASTA EL FINAL!

Mañana voy a comunicarles lo ocurrido hoy y lo que viene.

Venezuela será LIBRE!

GLORIA AL BRAVO PUEBLO!

[Alejandro Conejero 📿 @ConejeroC]

Este round lo ganamos, con plenitud:

- La gente venció el miedo y salió valientemente a la calle

- La represión fue muy contenida, casi nula

- María Corina y Juan Pablo siguen libres

- El régimen dividido, secuestró y liberó a María Corina

Esperemos las instrucciones.

[sonia @SMAE1222]

@pxmolina Pero yo quiero saber si está bien @MariaCorinaYA ! Así como inmediatamente. 😬 🤣 aquí 🙏🏽 pidiendo un milagro para Venezuela.
