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.

On Newsmax, Rep. Greg Murphy said people picked up after living in the U.S. for 35 years are 'collateral damage' in Trump's deportation drive. Fewer than a quarter of people ICE arrested in July had a criminal conviction.
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.
A new Health Affairs analysis finds the 2025 budget bill's limits on Medicaid payments will likely force three dozen states to cut what they pay doctors and hospitals by more than $50 billion a year, starting in 2028. Fewer providers are likely to take Medicaid patients. These 76 Republicans on our report cards, from the 15 states facing the biggest cuts, voted yes.
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.
On September 16 the House passed the PROOF Act, 217-207. It orders states to turn over whatever Medicaid, SNAP and other benefit records Attorney General Todd Blanche asks for in writing, with no judge involved. A federal court had already blocked the Trump administration from cutting food stamp funding to states that refused to hand over recipient data. 185 of the members who voted yes have report cards on this site.
On September 15 the House voted 220-204 to end the war with Iran — the third time since June. Republicans voted 203 to 7 against it, and 180 of the members who voted no are on our report cards. The same day, the Congressional Budget Office put the war's direct cost at $38.1 billion and said it will push inflation higher into 2027.
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.
H.R. 8646 passed 213-210 on June 4. It comes in $380 million below last year and, in the Appropriations Committee's own words, reduces salaries and expenses "to account for staffing reductions" — the nearly 4,300 FDA and roughly 900 meat-inspection jobs already gone. 188 members with a page on this site voted yes. Four voted no.
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.
ICE plans to spend up to $20 million on gloves that deliver painful electric shocks — ten times what Susan Collins points to as the de-escalation reform that justified her vote. Here are the 201 Republicans with report cards on this site who voted for the money.
Murphy sits on the House Veterans' Affairs Committee and represents Camp Lejeune. On CNN in March 2025 he defended the VA workforce cuts and promised "short-term pain." By September the VA had shed nearly 30,000 people.
Murphy signed the December 2020 letter demanding Bill Barr issue subpoenas and impound voting machines, joined the amicus brief to nullify four states, then split his own electoral votes. He voted no on both January 6 investigations.
The only member of Congress who still sees patients told insurance CEOs he'd "turn all of you guys into dust." He is right about them. He also voted Aye on Trump's budget bill, which state health officials say costs North Carolina $49.9 billion in federal Medicaid money over a decade.
On June 9, 2026, the House passed S. 2 by 214 to 212. At that margin every single Republican yes vote was the deciding vote. Here are the 187 still in their races who have report cards on this site.
A Wall Street Journal investigation found ICE is paying contractors millions to scan social media around the clock, then using subpoenas to unmask Americans who criticize the agency. Nobody has been charged. That may be the point.
On July 23 the House voted 214-208 to order U.S. forces out of Trump's unauthorized war with Iran. These 185 Republicans we track voted no — the second time the House has told the president to stop, and the second time they tried to stop it from saying so.
North Carolina stands to lose $49.9 billion in Medicaid, its farmers face a third of their income wiped out, and the Raleigh-Durham district was the hardest-hit in the country for DOGE grant cuts — here's who voted for it.
Every day, nearly 130 Americans are killed with guns. These six Republicans keep voting to make it easier — one of them even profits from selling them.
He also spread the false smear that Democrats want abortion 'literally when the child is coming out of the birth canal,' and the health industry he helps write the rules for — McKesson, the American College of Radiology — funds his campaigns.
