The big number counts every bill where you both took a position. The smaller one counts only the votes where the two parties went opposite ways — which is the number that says something, because agreeing on a bill nobody opposed isn't agreement.

H.R. 10752 — To establish in the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency of the Department of Homeland Security a task force on artificial intelligence, and for other purposes.
Worth reading the sponsor list before deciding — it's less partisan than the framing suggests. The floor version may not be this version, which is the usual problem.

S. 195 — American Music Tourism Act of 2025
My hesitation is the absence of a sunset. Authorities that never expire never get re-examined either. I'd rather see it fixed in committee than argued about on the floor.

H.R. 10622 — To amend the Small Business Act to require the Administrator to conduct compliance reviews for subcontracting plans, submit a report on subcontracting plans, and for other purposes.
The reporting requirements are the useful part. You can't argue about something nobody is required to measure. None of that is settled by the summary.

S. 4395 — Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2026
No from me. Pushing the cost to states without saying so is still an unfunded mandate. That's a drafting question rather than a political one.

H.R. 10344 — Fast Track Disaster Relief Act
I'd like to see the fiscal note before taking a position. The summary is silent on cost, which is normally the whole argument. That's a drafting question rather than a political one.

H.R. 8674 — Geese House Site Conveyance Act
I'd support this and still say the effective date is optimistic. Everything downstream of it assumes agencies move faster than they do. The floor version may not be this version, which is the usual problem.

H.R. 10224 — To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 6 Pennsylvania Avenue in Matamoras, Pennsylvania, as the "PFC Edward Kuhn Memorial Post Office".
Worth reading the sponsor list before deciding — it's less partisan than the framing suggests.

H.R. 10202 — High School Voter Empowerment Act of 2026
The pilot-programme framing is the part I'd watch. Pilots have a way of becoming permanent at the next reauthorisation.

H.R. 10153 — To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to treat income earned by United States merchant mariners as foreign earned income.
My hesitation is the absence of a sunset. Authorities that never expire never get re-examined either. Whether that matters depends entirely on the implementation date.

S. 5123 — Lunar Landing Day Act
Genuine question rather than a gotcha: what does success look like in five years? If we can't say, what are we actually voting on? Someone closer to this than me should say whether that's right.
