Breaking News: AOC calls out Lisa Murkowski for her vote for the Big Ugly Bill: “This isn’t about you. This is about the 17 million Americans whose health insurance you’re taking away. And after you turned your back on them to vote YES, you said your fellow House GOP should vote NO. Americans are going to suffer. YOU admit that. And YOU supported it”…see more

Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski criticized President Donald Trump’s megabill just moments after delivering the key vote to pass the legislation in the Senate.

The president’s so-called One Big Beautiful Bill Act passed in the Senate 51 to 50 on Tuesday, with Vice President J.D. Vance breaking the tie.

Murkowski was one of the Republican holdouts who voted “yes” on the legislation after GOP Senate leaders scrambled to make a series of changes to the bill to ease her concerns over its impact on health care and food assistance cuts in her state.

The Alaska lawmaker called the vote “agonizing” but told reporters who swarmed around her after she cast it for the legislation that the work was far from over. “We do not have a perfect bill by any stretch of the imagination,” Murkowski told reporters.

“My hope is that the House is going to look at this and recognize that we’re not there yet.”

However, House GOP leaders said they would vote on the legislation this week with the goal of getting it over to the president’s desk for his signature by the 4th of July, which is Friday.
