John Moolenaar voted twice to cancel money Congress had already approved for public broadcasting, and dismissed it as 'clearly biased news coverage.' WCMU — licensed to Central Michigan University in his district, serving 42 Michigan counties — lost 19% of its budget.
Doctors in the room shouted that it was false. Bilirakis backed up the claim by pointing at a real board — one that was never appointed, never met, was legally barred from rationing care, and was abolished a year later. 'The board exists, OK?' he told CNN.
Chief Justice Roberts wrote that children born in the U.S. to undocumented parents 'are citizens at birth.' Crank went on Newsmax to say he was disappointed, and that he'd meet with House leadership about what Congress could do.
His Eliminate DEI in Colleges Act makes a school ineligible for every federal program — including federal student loans — unless it certifies it runs no DEI program and no DEI office. He's introduced it twice. He also voted against naming a Tallahassee courthouse for Florida's first Black Supreme Court justice.
Crank's Armed Forces Carry Rights Protection Act would write a presumption in favor of carrying personal guns on military installations into permanent law — the opposite of what the Pentagon's own suicide-prevention committee recommended.
On September 25, 2024, Bilirakis was one of 82 House members — all Republicans — to vote no on the bill that took FEMA's Disaster Relief Fund out of emergency rationing. Helene made landfall in Florida the following night. Five days later he published a guide telling constituents how to apply for FEMA money.
Joyce turned down an in-person town hall in early 2025, skipped the one his constituents held anyway, and holds telephone events where the president of Indivisible Blair County says his staff 'cherrypicks' the questions. His hometown paper has now twice asked his office for comment and published without an answer.
A Washington Post columnist named Joyce as one of seven Republicans who voted for the rule that let the aid pass, then voted no on the bill itself — while the money supported defense work in their districts. PA-13 is home to Letterkenny Army Depot, the Army's center for Patriot missile recertification.
On April 6, 2025, CBS reported it could find no criminal record for 179 of the 238 men shipped to CECOT. On April 7, Crank introduced H. Res. 295 endorsing the removals. Two months later a federal judge ruled they were unlawful.
