I don’t think she even knows what she wants. If she didn’t want it to pass, she had her chance to kill it.
Republican is going to Republican I guess…
Because the Senate passed it via reconciliation to avoid the filibuster, if the House rejects it, it goes back to the Senate to be re-formulated into something more acceptable to the House.
We’ll know more when the House votes on it. It may be House members will demand certain things be added or removed.
But then whatever changes have to be re-voted on in the Senate, so she’d have a SECOND chance to vote “No” while still voting “Yes”.
For those who missed it:

“Republican Alaskan Senator Lisa Murkowski said Tuesday that despite voting in favor of the sweeping tax and spending package, she wants the House to return the “One Big Beautiful Bill” to the Senate for further work.”

“The vote was 51-50, with Vice President JD Vance breaking a tie. Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Thom Tillis of North Carolina joined Democrats and voted no.”
Heeeyyy… that’s not fair! We also ruin aquatic environments and national wildlife refuges too! ;)

Bitch, you HAD your chance to vote “No” and you voted “Yes”.

All it would have taken was Murkowski’s vote to kill it and she FAILED.
3·3 days agoWow! I had no idea that was even possible for a 3 year old! Glad she’s OK!
That sounds kind of scary, did they actually get to the bottom of what happened or was it just “Hey, she can eat toast now, you’re free to go!”
"Loosen your shoes
Don’t listen to news
That keeps you up at night.And don’t try to find

Your place in line

Passed the Senate, on to the House.
House is split 220 Republicans, 212 Democrats, 3 vacancies.
217 votes to pass. Republicans can lose 3 votes and it still passes. 216 is a tie vote with no process to break ties in the House, the bill fails.

Last time I flew was October of '23. No face scanning then, when did this start?
Many apartments have a firewall between units, it’s a safety measure. If fire can’t get through, I doubt mice could.
Close…
“I won’t be able to use much the computer today. I have to go to a place.”
Should be:
“I won’t be able to use the computer much today, I have to go to a place.”
Alternately:
“I won’t be able to use the computer very much today, I have to go to a place.”
Much (or very much) is modifying the action of using the computer, so it comes after.
“It’s incredible how flies the time! It will be Christmas soon!”
Same issue here…
“It’s incredible how time flies! It will be Christmas soon!”
The idiom is “time flies”, flies, the modifier, comes after. “The” isn’t needed and can be left out.
English has a LOT of weird rules, but there are good books that explain EVERYTHING:
Strunk and White’s “Elements of Style” is kind of the gold standard and it’s old enough now that it’s public domain:

While not free, I’d also suggest the Borzoi Handbook for Writers:
Wait, we were promised $5,000?
Hairless.
And I kept running the numbers showing Biden was losing, and how Harris started strong but watched her lead evaporate.
Was downvoted every time and told “The only poll that matters is election day!”
I repeatedly pointed out, the reason you track polling over time is to see where the support was heading and her support was disintegrating.
