With Virginia diesel at a record for 15 straight days, Rep. John McGuire blamed Biden-era refinery closures, not the Iran war. Congress's own budget office ties the price spike to the war, federal data shows refining capacity was flat when Biden left office, and McGuire has voted against every House resolution to end the war.
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.
Jeff Hurd declined televised debate invitations and agreed to one 30-minute session before a friendly audience instead. John McGuire says he'll debate when his opponent apologizes for raising a BlackRock sale the disclosure records in his wife's retirement account. They join fourteen Republicans we have already documented ducking the one event they can't script.
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.'
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.
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.
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.
Biden's EPA estimated the power plant carbon rules would prevent up to 1,200 early deaths and 360,000 cases of asthma symptoms in 2035 alone. On September 14, Lee Zeldin announced they're gone. Fifteen Republicans we track cheered the repeal in the EPA's own press release; four signed a letter asking the EPA to hurry up.
A list of the Republicans who voted to block the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act went around X this week. We checked all 42 names against the official roll calls. Every one of them voted against the bill — and the record is worse than the list says.
