Murkowski Confesses GOP Fear of Trump Retaliation
Senator Lisa Murkowski criticizes the Trump administration’s unilateral dismantling of government programs, budget freezes, and widespread federal worker layoffs, arguing Congress is failing in its constitutional duty to check executive power. This action is causing widespread anxiety, particularly in states heavily reliant on federal funding like Alaska. Murkowski highlights the administration’s dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development and the concerning politicization of the judiciary. She notes that fear of retaliation prevents many Republican colleagues from publicly criticizing the president.
