Threatening to withhold funds for veterans and military families unless he gets what he wants is an unconscionable ploy by this President. This is not the leadership our men and women in uniform deserve from their Commander-in-Chief. https://t.co/0Iem8knJ9V

This week is Mike Johnson’s 3rd anniversary as Speaker of the House. Unless you count: – The 43-day full government shutdown in 2025 – The 80-day partial government shutdown in 2026 – The 28 voting days Republicans canceled in the 118th Congress – The 63 voting days canceled in the 119th Congress Then, it’s a little closer to his 2nd anniversary. Happy 3rd anniversary* Speaker Johnson.

Phoenixville Fire Department is one of only six departments in PA to be awarded a SAFER Grant this year. This federal investment of nearly $1 million will strengthen staffing levels and ensure the department has the personnel needed to respond effectively when our neighbors call for help. I am proud to have advocated for this funding, and I am grateful to the firefighters and EMTs who keep our community safe every day. https://t.co/EeX798RoF0

As the only Level I Trauma Center in our region, Reading Hospital treats about 120,000 ER patients a year. Expanding their emergency department will add a rapid treatment area and an on-site pharmacy so patients can get both the care and medications they need in one place. This expansion will be a tremendous benefit to our community and I am looking forward to its completion. https://t.co/w0N2xWdwdw

How these are counted

Each roll call takes the policy area the Library of Congress gave the bill it is about; a vote on an amendment counts under its bill. 468 of the House’s 676 roll calls this Congress have an issue. Left out as procedural (208): votes on House rules and the previous question, motions to recommit or adjourn, quorum calls and the Speaker election. “With the Democratic majority” counts every issue vote on which most Democrats voted the same way, Yea or Nay. “Against both parties” = most Democrats and most Republicans voted one way and this member the other. “With the Republican majority” = a party-line vote (most of each party on opposite sides) on which this member sided with the Republicans. Independents count with the party they caucus with.
