86% of Americans want members of Congress to stop trading stocks. Republicans glued the ban to a strict voter ID law, so it died in the Senate 53–47 on September 30. Fifteen Republican senators on this site voted to advance the package, and many of them have stock trading problems of their own.
On September 29, the Senate voted 47–51 against forcing a vote on asking the State Department for a report on nine U.S. citizens killed by Israeli soldiers and settlers since 2022. Fourteen Republicans with report cards on this site voted no.
On September 29, thirteen Republican senators on this site voted to keep a Trump administration rule that makes Obamacare coverage harder to get. HHS itself estimates the rule could cost 1.2 million to 2 million people their health insurance.
When a reporter said critics accuse Republicans of punishing 'the least of these,' Tommy Tuberville asked what that meant, said 'we're all getting punished,' and called the removal of 760,000 people from ACA coverage a 'good job' — while experts question how many were cut by mistake.
The House passed a resolution ordering U.S. forces out of the Iran war in July. The Senate finally voted on it September 24 and it failed 49-50. Fourteen senators on our report cards voted no — including Jon Husted, who said two days earlier the war 'needs to come to an end as quickly as possible.'

Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville took to the Senate floor to call for bringing back mental institutions, claim trans people are fueling a wave of violent crime, and warn that airline pilots are secretly "furries."
Asked whether Alabamians are willing to pay $6 diesel to keep Trump's Iran war going, Tommy Tuberville told CNN 'Yeah, sure they are.' The Senate has voted 13 times on ending that war; he voted no on 11 and missed the other two.
In a Senate floor speech his office titled 'the Transgender Mental Disease,' the Alabama governor candidate blamed Charlie Kirk's killing and the Butler shooting on trans people, said doctors should spend life in prison, and warned your pilot might be a furry. The FBI and the charging documents say otherwise.
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.
