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.
An AI super PAC that raised $125 million exists to stop states and cities from enforcing their own AI rules. One of these Republicans wrote the bill that does the preempting, one was promised $850,000 in a race he had already won, two were buying the stock, and one was carried by $2.35 million in outside money.
H.R. 1232 would delete the part of federal labor law that lets a union and an employer agree everyone covered by a contract helps pay for it — in all 50 states, whatever each state decided. Missouri voters killed right-to-work 67-33. Michigan repealed it. Their congressmen signed anyway.
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.
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.
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.
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.
In September 2025 Obernolte switched his vote on a rule blocking tariff votes after Speaker Johnson promised the block would end January 31, 2026. In February 2026 leadership moved to extend it to July 31. Obernolte voted for that too.
Obernolte voted for H.R. 1 and posted a statement telling constituents the Medicaid changes wouldn't push anyone off. California's own health department projects 1.1 million Medi-Cal enrollees will lose coverage by 2029-30 under the new work requirement. Forty-eight percent of his district is on the program.
Obernolte chairs the House subcommittee writing AI policy and wrote the bill that would bar states — including California — from imposing safety transparency, auditing or incident-reporting duties on AI developers. He also helped launch a nonprofit that charges AI startups up to $3,500 a month for access to policymakers.
On the same day, three House Republicans and a group of senators introduced seven resolutions to strip the clean-air rules that 17 states and D.C. rely on. Two Koch-funded groups were quoted cheering in the press release.
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 182 Republicans we track voted no — the second time Congress has told the president to stop, and the second time they tried to stop Congress from saying it.
The House passed the 'Reliable Power Act,' handing federal energy regulators the power to stall EPA rules on power-plant pollution. Here's every Republican with a report card who voted yes.
The Senate blocked the fix and the House passed a fake one. Here's every Republican we track who voted to let ACA premiums more than double.
