Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) says she feels "cheated" after securing a hard-fought concession in President Trump's newly signed tax and spending bill—only to watch the administration undercut it days later with an executive order.
Before committing her vote to the "big, beautiful bill," Murkowski negotiated a 12-month extension for clean energy tax credits to support vital projects in Alaska. But three days after the bill's July 4 signing, Trump issued an executive order restricting those same credits, followed by an Interior Department directive tightening oversight.
