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.'

185 House Members We Track Voted to Make States Hand Your Medicaid and Food Stamp Records to Trump's Former Defense Lawyer

On September 16 the House passed the PROOF Act, 217-207.

Andy Harris' FDA Budget Blocks Enforcement of a Rule Built to Trace Food Outbreaks Until 2028. This Summer, Tainted Lettuce Infected 12,883 People.

The Food Traceability Rule would make food companies keep digital records so investigators can find the source of an outbreak fast. The farm-and-FDA spending law from Harris' subcommittee says no money can be used to enforce it before July 20, 2028. This summer, a cyclospora outbreak traced to Mexican lettuce put 570 people in the hospital. Harris doesn't appear to have said a word.
