Stupid policymaking in Washington is literally taking candy away from children. It’s time to end the senseless tariffs and the Iran war. https://t.co/DHU39acgeP

It’s wrong to make kids and seniors go to bed hungry, but that’s exactly what the Big Ugly Bill is doing by kicking over 167,000 people off SNAP in Michigan. Working families can’t afford these devastating cuts. https://t.co/9A0T95g5C0

💬 4🔁 3❤ 12Oct 26, 2026

People are already losing their health care because of skyrocketing premiums, and next year, $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts will go into effect. We have to fix this health care crisis. https://t.co/pVVhzn0miC

Working parents shouldn’t have to choose between taking their kid to the doctor or putting food on the table. https://t.co/XbTfwU9nX2

.@SenatorSlotkin is a patriot, who has sworn an oath to serve multiple times. She called out blatant corruption and she was right to do so. It's unacceptable to use the justice system to threaten your political opponents. These continued attacks against her are dangerous, and they are offensive to the ideals we all hold as Americans. It needs to stop.

Mid-Michigan families have had to pay $834 extra for gas because of the war in Iran. That number is even higher for anyone who drives a truck and relies on diesel. It’s past time to stop the war and bring gas prices back down. https://t.co/dEv0azzFmL

Health care costs are skyrocketing again because of bad policies from out-of-touch politicians. We’re fighting alongside @ProtectOurCare so working families don’t have to choose between seeing a doctor and putting food on the table. https://t.co/331lY3fxfw

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.
