Crypto billionaires are pouring massive fortunes into our elections to buy off politicians.
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.
In mid-April 2023, Blackstone's CEO and other executives of the giant landlord gave Bryan Steil $27,100. On April 26 he voted for a House Republican bill that housing experts estimated would leave about 2 million people without rental assistance. Two months later came the bank checks.
Fairshake, the super PAC funded mainly by Coinbase, a16z and Ripple, is backing 19 House Republicans — $1 million apiece for French Hill, Bryan Steil and Bill Huizenga, the sponsor and two cosponsors of the industry's top bill. All 19 voted for it.
Bryan Steil told constituents a federal rural health fund 'provides an additional $50 billion annually.' It's $10 billion. His newsletter skipped the law he voted for — the biggest Medicaid rollback in history — and the 63,000 Wisconsin adults state officials say are at immediate risk of losing coverage.
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.
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.
In July 2026 Steil demanded classified briefings from the FBI, DHS and DNI about Trump's claim that 250,000 noncitizens are registered to vote — a figure a leading election expert calls 'completely noncredible.' The counsel he hired to lead the committee's election investigation was a backup fake elector in Arizona.
The EPA sent Wisconsin $94.3 million in May 2026 to rip out lead water lines. The money came from the 2021 infrastructure law, which Steil voted no on. He posted that he was proud to have brought it home.
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.
A $10 million grant to clear dead trees in the Superior National Forest was frozen by DOGE. Now those woods are burning — and the congressman who cheered DOGE on is pointing at Canada.
Steve Scalise, Virginia Foxx and Bryan Steil pitched the SAVE America Act by comparing voting to buying unlimited pasta. The comparison leaves out the part that would block millions of citizens.
Wisconsin ranks 13th of 50 on the measures we track — one of the better states in the country. All six of its Republicans in Congress just voted to spend that down.
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.
Steil's bill pairs a weak congressional stock-trading limit with strict new voter ID rules that would add ID requirements to mail ballots and bar student IDs — passed the House 232–198.
In February 2026, Trump bombed Iran without Congress's approval. These Republicans cheered it on, voted to block efforts to stop it, and left us paying the price at the pump.
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 spike.
