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.
The House voted September 2 on a constitutional amendment freezing the Supreme Court at nine justices. The Constitution never set that number — Congress did, and has changed it five times. Here is every Republican with a report card who voted yes.
Between August 6 and August 10, Vince Fong, Gary Palmer, August Pfluger, James Gallagher and Jay Obernolte each filed a Congressional Review Act resolution killing an EPA decision on California — cars, lawn mowers, harbor boats, and ships idling at the dock.
In 2020 Newsom ordered a ballot mailed to every registered California voter so nobody had to choose between their health and their vote. Gallagher sued, calling it an 'illegal power grab.' He won at trial and lost on appeal — and has run on it ever since.
Gallagher's district contains the town destroyed by the deadliest wildfire in California history. In eleven years in the Legislature he compiled an 11% lifetime environmental score — 0% in 2022, when every one of his recorded votes was against.
Gallagher's amendment to the defense bill would have opened a study into how federal authority can 'preempt or otherwise mitigate' state fuel policies. Seven Republicans joined every Democrat but four to kill it, 212-216.
