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.

Days before the 25th anniversary, the Republican nominee for Florida governor told a town hall in The Villages that stopping Sharia law is the top way to prevent another September 11.

Byron Donalds Says Florida Can Replace Its Haitian Caregivers With High School Interns and Adult Retraining

Asked on national television how Florida replaces the Haitian health care workers losing their legal status, the Republican nominee for governor answered with a high school internship program and a promise to supercharge adult education — with no number, no timeline and no cost for either. Nurses and their union say the state is losing trained caregivers it cannot get back.

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.
