The Big Beautiful Bill cuts Medicaid by close to $1 trillion over 10 years, and the Congressional Budget Office says the law will leave 10 million more people uninsured. Republicans made sure the biggest cut doesn't start until 2027 — after the midterms. 198 Republicans on this site voted for it.
Chris Smith co-led a 128-Republican letter — signed by 103 Republicans on this site — asking HHS's inspector general to investigate Planned Parenthood. It describes an SBA eligibility review of pandemic loans as a probe into whether affiliates 'illegally received $88 million' — months after the last attack on Planned Parenthood's funding closed nearly 30 clinics.
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.
Sanders's new statewide ad features 'Brad,' a Medicaid recipient eating cheese balls and playing video games, to sell a work requirement that comes from Trump's budget bill. Arkansas already tried one: 18,000 people lost their health coverage and experts found no job gains.
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.
Five weeks before Election Day, Greg Abbott hasn't accepted a debate with Gina Hinojosa, Ken Paxton has committed to none after promising 'of course' he'd debate James Talarico, and Tom Cotton is sitting out Arkansas TV's debates in favor of one hosted by Salem Media.
Courts ruled at least four times that Gov. Sarah Sanders couldn't take control of Arkansas prisons away from the Board of Corrections. So she replaced the board members who sued her, and her new majority signed a deal declaring the laws constitutional. A judge threw it out.
