Americans Say Groceries Are Their Biggest Money Worry. House Republicans Spent the Evening of September 1 Voting to Condemn Socialism.

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.

Miami-Dade Ended Universal Free Meals at All But 121 of Its 500-Plus Schools. Free Meal Funding Is Tied to SNAP Enrollment, and All Three Republicans Who Represent the County Voted for the SNAP Cuts.

Richard Hudson Told House Republicans to Stop Holding In-Person Town Halls. Since Then They Have Held 231. Democrats Have Held 1,042.

Two years ago Republicans held more town halls than Democrats. In the first half of this year they held 39 in person — 17% of the town halls they held at all. One told MS NOW that a town hall is 'a good way to get shot.' Another said Democrats 'ruined' them. The one Republican who still shows up says it works fine.

One in Every 14 Union Members in America Just Lost Their Contract by Executive Order. 195 House Republicans Voted to Keep It That Way.

Two executive orders, plus an earlier move against TSA screeners, stripped collective bargaining from 84.4% of the unionized federal workforce. A bipartisan bill to restore it passed the House 231-195 — every Democrat for it, 195 Republicans against — and the Senate has sat on it for eight months.

Republicans Spent Millions Calling Brandon Herrera Too Extreme for Congress. Now Mike Johnson Is Raising Money for Him.

The Speaker campaigned for Herrera at a San Antonio barbecue joint days after another video surfaced. Johnson backed his opponent in 2024 and again this year, Trump's lawyer sent him a cease-and-desist letter in January, and a Republican group ran ads saying he 'does not belong in Congress.' Nothing about the record changed. A seat came open.
