This is Standard Republican Policy. Is This What You Want?
Forget the slogans. Judged by what they voted for, what they did, and what they refused to stop, this is what Republicans in Congress stand for, on 20 issues, with the receipts.
MAGA is Ruining Kentucky
80,000 Kentuckians Have Lost Food Aid — 24,655 of Them Children. Andy Barr, Brett Guthrie, James Comer and Hal Rogers Voted for the Law That Did It.
Kentucky's SNAP rolls have dropped from 627,164 people last October to just under 547,000, and Gov. Andy Beshear says about 80,000 lost food aid because of the federal changes in Trump's budget bill — including 24,655 children and 6,572 seniors. Four of Kentucky's five Republican House members voted for it. The fifth, Thomas Massie, voted no.
Republicans Cut Medicaid by Nearly $1 Trillion. They Scheduled the Pain for After You Vote.
The Big Beautiful Bill cuts Medicaid by close to $1 trillion over 10 years, and the Congressional Budget Office says the law will leave 10 million more people uninsured. Republicans made sure the biggest cut doesn't start until 2027 — after the midterms. 198 Republicans on this site voted for it.
Trump's Budget Bill Will Likely Force States to Cut Medicaid Payments to Doctors and Hospitals by More Than $50 Billion a Year. 76 Republicans We Track From the Hardest-Hit States Voted for It.
A new Health Affairs analysis finds the 2025 budget bill's limits on Medicaid payments will likely force three dozen states to cut what they pay doctors and hospitals by more than $50 billion a year, starting in 2028. Fewer providers are likely to take Medicaid patients. These 76 Republicans on our report cards, from the 15 states facing the biggest cuts, voted yes.
14 Republicans Are Running Away From Trump Six Weeks Before the Election. Twelve of Them Voted for His Budget Bill.
They're deleting Trump from their websites, calling for an end to his Iran war, and telling him his immigration crackdown went too far. Every one of them who was in Congress voted for Trump's budget bill, and every House member among them voted for $70 billion more for ICE.
Twice the House Came One Vote From Telling Trump to End the Iran War — the First Resolution Lost 213-214, the Next Deadlocked 212-212, and 181 Republicans We Track Voted No on Both.
On April 16 a war powers resolution failed 213-214. On May 14 the next one deadlocked 212-212, and a tie fails. Either one needed exactly one Republican to switch. Only Thomas Massie, who has no page here, voted yes both times.
Andrew Clyde Filed a Bill to Redraw the House Before 2028 by Not Counting Noncitizens. 38 Republicans We Cover Signed On the Same Day.
H.R. 10377 would drop every noncitizen from the count used to hand out House seats, force a new apportionment before the 2028 election, and put a citizenship question on every future census. The Fourteenth Amendment — which Clyde's filing cites as its authority — says to count 'the whole number of persons in each State.'
185 House Members We Track Voted to Make States Hand Your Medicaid and Food Stamp Records to Trump's Former Defense Lawyer
On September 16 the House passed the PROOF Act, 217-207. It orders states to turn over whatever Medicaid, SNAP and other benefit records Attorney General Todd Blanche asks for in writing, with no judge involved. A federal court had already blocked the Trump administration from cutting food stamp funding to states that refused to hand over recipient data. 185 of the members who voted yes have report cards on this site.
Robert Aderholt Says a Report He and 12 Other Republicans We Track Requested Shows Taxpayers Are 'Subsidizing' Abortion. The Report Says Federal Subsidies Can't Pay for It.
Robert Aderholt, Speaker Mike Johnson and 11 other tracked Republicans requested a GAO review of abortion coverage in Obamacare plans. Aderholt and Chris Smith then used it to demand 'full Hyde protections for all ACA plans.' GAO's own summary says federal law already bars tax credits from paying for abortion, that insurers must price that coverage at no less than $1 a month, and that almost every plan that covers it is in a state whose law requires coverage.
