A list of the Republicans who voted to block the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act went around X this week. We checked all 42 names against the official roll calls. Every one of them voted against the bill — and the record is worse than the list says.
Days before the 25th anniversary of September 11, Michigan's Republican Senate candidate posted a tribute to a Monroe fire captain who developed cancer after driving to Ground Zero. In 2010, Rogers voted against the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act twice, warning that guaranteed care for sick responders would 'jeopardize the financial health of the United States of America.'
The 24% wholesale tax was supposed to send $420 million a year to Michigan roads. James told marijuana executives at their own fundraiser he wants it gone, then said so publicly weeks later. He has not said how he would replace the road money.
America PAC has reported $5.1 million in independent spending this cycle. Eighteen Republicans with report cards on this site are the main beneficiaries — and nearly three-quarters of the money went to attack ads, not to making a case for them.
As a Michigan state senator running the corrections budget, Barrett inserted language stripping jail reimbursement from counties that limited cooperation with ICE. Kent County stood to lose $1.1 million a year, Wayne County $1.5 million. Michigan's own corrections department opposed it and the governor vetoed it.
Lisa McClain went on Face the Nation and backed Max Miller's reelection. His ex-wife says he threw boiling water at her and pointed a gun at her. Six Republican senators named on air have told him to quit.
The No Preference Act would bar every federal agency, including the Pentagon, from favoring a contractor because its workers have a union contract. Stephanie Bice wrote it. Steve Womack, John Rutherford and Jack Bergman signed on.
The House returned from recess and spent its week on socialism resolutions, mining permits, whales, the Supreme Court, and a bill punishing colleges for boycotting Israel. Nobody voted on the premiums that just went up 58%. Here is every Republican with a report card who voted yes.
H.Res. 1490 passed 220-192. It changes no law and spends no money. Its one concrete demand is the SAVE America Act, a proof-of-citizenship rule of the kind Kansas tried — where 31,089 people could not register, against 39 confirmed noncitizens the state found in the previous 14 years. 189 members with a page on this site voted yes.
