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.
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.
