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 New Jersey
Trump's Budget Bill Will Cost New Jersey Up to $3.7 Billion a Year in Medicaid Money. Chris Smith, Tom Kean Jr. and Jeff Van Drew Voted for It Twice.
New Jersey's health officials told lawmakers the budget bill's Medicaid changes could cost the state up to $3.7 billion a year and push up to 330,000 people off their health plans, with work requirements for 540,000 adults starting in January. All three New Jersey House Republicans voted for it.
Tom Kean Jr. Cosponsored a Bill That Delays Medicare Price Cuts on Cancer Drugs. He Owns Stock in the Companies That Make Them.
Tom Kean Jr. cosponsored the ORPHAN Cures Act, which rode into Trump's budget bill and pushed back Medicare's power to negotiate prices on blockbuster cancer drugs. The Congressional Budget Office says it handed a multibillion-dollar windfall to drugmakers including Merck and Johnson & Johnson — two companies whose stock sits in Kean's own portfolio.
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.
Chris Smith Led 128 Republicans in Asking for a Federal Probe of Planned Parenthood. They Asked Whether It 'Illegally Received $88 Million.' Nobody Has Found That.
Chris Smith co-led a 128-Republican letter — signed by 103 Republicans on this site — asking HHS's inspector general to investigate Planned Parenthood. It describes an SBA eligibility review of pandemic loans as a probe into whether affiliates 'illegally received $88 million' — months after the last attack on Planned Parenthood's funding closed nearly 30 clinics.

Refugees and Trafficking Victims in New Jersey Could Start Losing Medicaid Oct. 1. Chris Smith, Tom Kean Jr. and Jeff Van Drew Voted Twice for the Law That Does It.
Up to 25,000 legal immigrants in New Jersey — refugees, trafficking victims, domestic violence survivors, family of veterans — could lose Medicaid on Oct. 1 under Trump's budget bill. All three New Jersey Republicans in the House voted for it twice, and Van Drew had signed a letter promising he wouldn't.
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.
