Yes it has been a complicated process. Senator Murkowski, put her self up for sale. America is not for sale by any means at all. No one has to run , at all life is life. If Senator Murkowski wants to change parties, I would not . Independent’s may not want you nor the democrats. Shame on you Madame Senator. I hope you can live with yourself.

What I don't understand is if she voted yes because she got something for her state that doesn't stop them from being affected by the other crap in the bill. If she would've voted no & it didn't pass, no harm no foul. It stays the same & everyone isnt getting screwed.

Idk if you know but I figured I'd ask since I've been having bad anxiety. What do you think are the chances I'll lose Medicaid and/or social security disability? I'm in north tx and I was born with spina bifida and am now full time wheelchair user and have bad chronic pain and can't work. I have a ton of medical expenses so If I lost either or especially both I would be so f'd. It's OK if you don't know or can't tell me I just wondered if anyone could give me an idea?

Ellie, thank you so much for your hard work in putting all this together and for your constant dedication to salvaging our democracy. You are a force that keeps us moving at a time when it would be easy to give up and lay low. We can’t and we won’t. Much love to you. SMIB.
