U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski told a room full of Alaska nonprofit leaders that the tumult of tariffs, executive orders, court battles, and cuts to federal services under the Trump administration are exceptionally concerning.<br /><br />“We are all afraid,” Murkowski said, taking a long pause. “It’s quite a statement.

And that’s not right.”
