4 d. ago Republican Lisa Murkowski on Trump’s America and the ‘intensity on the security of our democracy’

The Alaska senator, who helped deal Trump’s first big legislative setback, believes there can be only so much fear that Americans can handleLate one night about six months into Donald Trump’s first term, John McCain stepped onto the Senate floor and with a dramatic thumbs-down gesture dealt the president his first major legislative setback by defeating an attempt by his fellow Republicans to repeal the Affordable Care Act.It was the last major political effort of the Arizona senator, who would die the following year from brain cancer, but his no vote would not have been effective had he had not been joined by fellow Republicans Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska – who gives that incident, and many other brushes with Trump, a prominent place in Far from Home, the memoir she released on Tuesday.

Would understanding the roots of my health anxiety lead me to a cure?Throughout my adolescence and into my mid-20s, I spent a lot of time trying to understand my body. I was unwell, that much was certain. The question of exactly what was wrong with me was one to which I applied myself studiously. I had theories, of course. Looking back, these tended to change quite frequently, and yet the fear was always the same: in short, that I was dying, that I had some dreadful and no doubt painful disease that, for all my worrying, I had carelessly allowed to reach the point at which it had become incurable.This started at university, when I developed a headache that didn’t go away.
