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.

An Account That Appears to Be Andy Biggs's Gave Five Stars to a Book Warning That Muslim Immigrants Will Erase the West. 'I Can't Really Disagree With Anything He Says.'
A Goodreads account that appears to be Andy Biggs's gave five stars to Mark Steyn's 'America Alone' and Ann Coulter's '¡Adios, America!' — two books built on the idea that immigrants are replacing Western societies. His campaign won't say if the account is his.
Twice the House Came One Vote From Telling Trump to End the Iran War — the First Resolution Lost 213-214, the Next Deadlocked 212-212, and 181 Republicans We Track Voted No on Both.
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.
Andy Biggs Wants Cameras in Arizona Classrooms to Catch 'Woke' Teachers. A Republican Governor Warned the Same Idea Could Let Predators Watch Children.

The Republicans We Cover Keep Putting White Nationalists on the Payroll, the Stage and the Ballot. Asked About It, They Denounce Racism in General and Never Say the Name.
A chief of staff in a group chat with Nick Fuentes and Richard Spencer. A political director whose profile picture showed Hitler's SS. A student outreach recruit who asked whether Jews should be sent to North Korea. A swastika flag in a congressman's office. Eight Republicans on this site, one answer.
Andrew Clyde Filed a Bill to Redraw the House Before 2028 by Not Counting Noncitizens. 38 Republicans We Cover Signed On the Same Day.
H.R. 10377 would drop every noncitizen from the count used to hand out House seats, force a new apportionment before the 2028 election, and put a citizenship question on every future census. The Fourteenth Amendment — which Clyde's filing cites as its authority — says to count 'the whole number of persons in each State.'
16 Republicans on Our Report Cards Asked the EPA to Treat Abortion Pills as a Drinking-Water Contaminant. Scientists Say There's No Evidence. Trump's EPA Is Testing for Them Anyway.
In June, 19 Republicans in Congress signed a letter urging the EPA to add mifepristone to its list of possible water contaminants. On September 9 the EPA announced a drinking-water study that includes the two abortion drugs. Environmental health experts say there's no scientific evidence abortion medication harms the environment or people — and five days later, the EPA announced it is scrapping carbon limits on power plants.
Andy Biggs Wrote a Bill to Abolish Arizona's Medicaid Program. His Plan Wouldn't Even Fully Cover the Disabled: 'You Can't Even Cover Them.'
In 2011, state Sen. Andy Biggs sponsored SB 1519 to end AHCCCS, the program covering nearly 1.4 million Arizonans. His replacement wouldn't have fully covered the roughly 100,000 people with severe mental illness and disabilities who relied on it — on purpose, he said, because covering them meant no savings. Now he wants to be governor.

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.
These 188 Republicans Voted to Lock the Supreme Court at Nine Seats While Republican Appointees Hold Six of Them

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. 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.
Andy Biggs Says He Never Commented on the January 6 Pardons. Two Months Before Them, His Account Demanded Trump Pardon 'All J6 Political Prisoners.'

Andy Biggs Deleted the 'Defending Life' Page From His Campaign Website. Everything on It Is Still His Record.
Biggs' congressional site had a section boasting about defunding Planned Parenthood. His governor's site says nothing about abortion at all. Asked whether he'd back repealing Prop 139, his campaign changed the subject.
Seven Republicans Are Running on 'Local Control' of Data Centers. All Seven Voted to Take It Away for Ten Years.

The Republicans Who Voted Against the CHIPS Act — Then Took Credit for the Jobs

Andy Biggs Wants to Erase a Third of Arizona's Budget and Says No One Will Pay for It

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.
The Republican Who Wrote the Bill Says Andy Biggs Killed It: 'Women and Children Suffered Three Years Longer Than They Should Have Because He Protected the Bad Guys'
In 2013, a bill to strip police powers from a marshal's office accused of serving a polygamist sect passed Arizona's House and died in Biggs's Senate. A federal court later found that same police force had spent decades protecting the sect.
More Than 40 Republicans Just Asked the Attorney General Not to Defend a 92-Year-Old Gun Law in Court

Congress Gave ICE $70 Billion and No Rules on Conduct. Now ICE Is Buying Electric Shock Gloves.

Andy Biggs Calls Arizona's Anti-Trans Ballot Measure an '80-20 Issue.' Arizona Approved Seven Trans Athletes in Twelve Years.
Prop. 318 would let athletes sue schools over bathrooms and locker rooms, and would reach private leagues like Little League. Arizona already bans trans girls from school sports. Biggs is running on it anyway — and if it passes, undoing it takes a three-fourths supermajority.

Five Houses in Little Rock. Two of Them Occupied by Christians. That's the Sharia Takeover.
A governor, an attorney general, a state bill and a 50-member congressional caucus have all mobilized against a Sharia takeover. In Arkansas it traces back to a hate group's blog post and a small subdivision that's been there for two decades.
ICE Is Reading Your Posts. Congress Paid for It.
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.
38 Republicans Signed a One-Sentence Bill to Abolish the Department of Education
H.R. 899 is one sentence long. But abolishing the Department of Education is only the loud part of the plan — the quiet part is a new, uncapped federal tax credit that drains public school money into private and religious schools.

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.
