Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) appeared on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Tuesday and called on lawmakers not to give President Donald Trump their authority. Co-host Jonathan Lemire said, “Certainly there’s a lot of debate among Democrats right now as to who is that face, who is the leader for the party right now? Who’s going to play the role that Nancy Pelosi did during those first couple of years of Trump’s initial term in office? So now let’s take a look at more from Ryan Noble’s interview with Senator Murkowski, who warned her Republican colleagues not to cede their authority to President Trump.”

Murky has it backwards. Authority is delegated (not ceded) from the Oval Office to the executive branches. The OO retains responsibility for responses, this can enable or disable delegated suthority at will

Murkowski has become senile. She thinks she still matters and that her elected office will protect her from charges of official interference and insurrection, which is what she's guilty of.

Perfect argument....to abandon ranked choice voting. She LOST her primary, then jumped in as an "Independent", was allowed on the ballot, and ranked choice handed her the office.

This corrupt female dog was just fine giving their authority to Biden and his corrupt administration. We need to get a larger majority in the Senate so her, Collins and McConnell's votes and opinions don't matter. Course that would mean we could stop democrat cheating which we didn't do in 2024 senate races.

“…if we just say, well, we like his policies so therefore we’re going cede some of our authorities, don’t think this is the last time you’ll see that.” When did supporting policies that your constituents support become “ceding authority“? Sounds like Murkowski is calling for abuse of authority - something with which many of her constituents might argue she is familiar, when it comes to representing their wishes.

Pentagon spent millions injecting DEI

The Department of Defense spends millions of dollars every year on expanding diversity, equity, and inclusion practices in science and healthcare, a Washington Examiner review of public records found. From improving racial equity in prostate cancer treatment to increasing diversity in marine mammal research, the Washington Examiner identified $18.4 million in Pentagon grants aimed at inserting DEI into technical fields. While the earliest instance of this spending in federal databases dates back to the Obama administration, most of the grants were disbursed by the Biden administration, and a significant number of these diversity commitments remain under the Trump administration.

The Trump administration received a $25 billion pitch from prominent defense contractors to set up military-style “processing camps” to help carry out mass migrant deportations, a new report says. The aggressive blueprint, spearheaded by the likes of former Blackwater CEO Erik Prince and COO Bill Mathews, aims to use a range of tactics to swiftly boot 12 million illegal migrants from the US before the 2026 midterms. As part of the proposal, the contractors fired off a list of Army bases that would be suitable to build “camps” that could be up-and-running “in less than one week.” In addition to the camps, the pitch also lays out the need for

Government agencies censured anti-deportation activists after they revealed sensitive information about multiple federal immigration enforcement agents in California. Multiple flyers displayed across the Los Angeles area recently leaked the names, faces, and job descriptions of at least four people employed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Department of Homeland Security. “Careful with These Faces,” one flyer reads. “These armed agents work in Southern California. ICE and HSI racially terrorize and criminalize entire communities with their policies. They kidnap people from their homes and from the streets, separating families and fracturing communities. Many people have died while locked up in jails, prisons, and detention centers,” the flyer continues.

A long-simmering effort to defund National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service is heating up on Capitol Hill just as the Federal Communications Commission and Elon Musk‘s Department of Government Efficiency are looking into how tax dollars are spent at the left-leaning media outlets. The Media Research Center, a conservative news watchdog, today launched a PR effort to draw attention to the “anti-American and anti-conservative programming” on the outlets. The campaign features a digital mobile billboard driven on roads around the Capitol and House and Senate office buildings calling for defunding. The van will be on the roads through Thursday.

The fiery hosts at ABC’s “The View” have faced pressure to dial back their anti-President Trump rhetoric — even as “morale is low” among staffers following layoffs and unpopular cost-cutting moves, The Post has learned. A source close to the show’s co-hosts — Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Alyssa Farah Griffin and Ana Navarro — said the mood on the set is increasingly tense at the daytime talk show. That’s partly because Brian Teta, executive producer of “The View,” spoke to staffers about “going easy” on Trump-related commentary in the days leading up to the 47th president taking the oath of office,

Within days of Donald Trump’s November landslide, Bishop Mark Seitz, head of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ migration committee, warned that Their Eminences were preparing to “’raise our voice loudly’” if Trump’s immigration policy “’violates basic human rights.’” This episcopal loudness signals the end of the USCCB’s scrupulously-maintained four-year vow of silence through the entire presidency of the “devoutly” Catholic Joe Biden. Their silence spoke volumes to Catholics witnessing Biden doing his utmost to wage open war on the most fundamental teachings of the Church.
