Lisa Murkowski says she feels "cheated" after Trump removed tax credits she asked to include in the budget bill.

The claim consists of two main components: first, that Lisa Murkowski expressed feeling 'cheated,' and second, that this feeling arose because President Trump removed tax credits she had advocated for in the budget legislation. Multiple recent news reports from July 2025 confirm that Murkowski won a concession in a tax and spending bill to protect tax credits for wind and solar energy projects.

However, shortly after, President Trump issued orders and directives from the Interior Department that effectively undercut or reversed these protections. Murkowski publicly voiced her frustration, describing herself as feeling 'cheated' by these actions, which she perceives as undermining the projects she supports, particularly those benefiting Alaska.adn.comadn.comSen.

The timeline is consistent: the budget bill passed first with her concessions, followed by executive actions that negated some of those benefits.

There is no evidence contradicting her statement or the sequence of events. The sources are recent (July 2025), from credible news outlets with no apparent ideological bias affecting the factual reporting of her statements.

Therefore, the claim accurately reflects Murkowski's expressed sentiments and the political context surrounding the tax credits.
