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.

208 House Republicans Just Voted to Lock In the Food-Safety Layoffs. Complaints About Contaminated Meat Had Risen 40%.

H.R. 8646 passed 213-210 on June 4.

LaHood chairs Ways and Means' Work and Welfare Subcommittee. His JOBS for Success Act imposes a signed 'personal responsibility agreement,' an income ceiling, a squeeze on administrative costs and a ban on spending TANF directly on child care — while extending the block grant at the same $16.5 billion Congress set in 1996.

Darin LaHood Voted to Let the FBI Read Americans' Messages Without a Warrant

In April 2024 LaHood voted against requiring the FBI to get a warrant before searching Americans' communications — the amendment failed on a 212-212 tie. In March 2026 he pushed a 'clean' renewal with no warrant requirement. A year before that first vote, he had revealed the FBI improperly searched the database for his own name, and called renewal without reform a non-starter.
