This is Standard Republican Policy. Is This What You Want?
Forget the slogans. Judged by what they voted for, what they did, and what they refused to stop, this is what Republicans in Congress stand for, on 20 issues, with the receipts.

Andy Harris Blamed Diesel Prices on 'Environmental Regulations,' Called His Audience Rude When They Laughed, Then Ordered a Reporter's Camera Taken and Called for an Officer
At a debate, asked about Trump's deal to let Russian diesel in, Andy Harris blamed Democrats' environmental rules for fuel prices that are up 72% as the Iran war drags on. When the audience laughed, he called them rude. Afterward, he told a Capital News Service reporter she was breaking Maryland law by recording him in a room full of cameras, told someone to take her camera, and called for an officer.
Republicans Cut Medicaid by Nearly $1 Trillion. They Scheduled the Pain for After You Vote.
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 Led 128 Republicans in Asking for a Federal Probe of Planned Parenthood. They Asked Whether It 'Illegally Received $88 Million.' Nobody Has Found That.
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.
Twice the House Came One Vote From Telling Trump to End the Iran War — the First Resolution Lost 213-214, the Next Deadlocked 212-212, and 181 Republicans We Track Voted No on Both.
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.
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. 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.

Robert Aderholt Says a Report He and 12 Other Republicans We Track Requested Shows Taxpayers Are 'Subsidizing' Abortion. The Report Says Federal Subsidies Can't Pay for It.
Robert Aderholt, Speaker Mike Johnson and 11 other tracked Republicans requested a GAO review of abortion coverage in Obamacare plans. Aderholt and Chris Smith then used it to demand 'full Hyde protections for all ACA plans.' GAO's own summary says federal law already bars tax credits from paying for abortion, that insurers must price that coverage at no less than $1 a month, and that almost every plan that covers it is in a state whose law requires coverage.
