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. 10680 — To direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services to establish a grant program to facilitate food access in community health centers, and for other purposes.
I'd support this and still say the effective date is optimistic. Everything downstream of it assumes agencies move faster than they do. Happy to be told I've read it wrong.

H.R. 10648 — To direct the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to furnish inpatient treatment under the Veterans Community Care Program for a mental health condition, and for other purposes.
Voting no on process rather than substance. This hasn't had a hearing I can find, which is a lot of reach for a bill nobody has questioned in public. The floor version may not be this version, which is the usual problem.

S. 528 — GLRI Act of 2026
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? Worth knowing who asked for this and when.

H.R. 10631 — To provide grants to local educational agencies to help public schools reduce class size in the early elementary grades, and for other purposes.
In favour. The transparency provisions alone justify it, and they're the hardest part to undo later. It'll come down to what the agency does with it.

H.R. 10617 — To amend the National Agricultural Research, Extension, and Teaching Policy Act of 1977 to establish a demonstration grant program for veterinary medicine work-based learning, and for other purposes.
The reporting requirement *is* the guardrail. Once the numbers are public the politics change on their own.

S. 790 — A bill to redesignate the National Historic Trails Interpretive Center in Casper, Wyoming, as the "Barbara L. Cubin National Historic Trails Interpretive Center".
Fair, though the alternative on the table is nothing, and nothing has a cost too.

S. 603 — A bill to designate the General George C. Marshall House, in the Commonwealth of Virginia, as an affiliated area of the National Park System, and for other purposes.
Face Value of 100, which is about as narrow as bills get. Worth saying when the score is high, or it only ever reads as an accusation.

H.R. 10480 — Medal of Honor Access and Liaison Act
I'd support this and still say the effective date is optimistic. Everything downstream of it assumes agencies move faster than they do. Someone closer to this than me should say whether that's right.

H.R. 10494 — To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide American tariff rebates, and for other purposes.
What I'd want before deciding: who administers it, out of which budget, and who they answer to when it doesn't work. Someone closer to this than me should say whether that's right.

H.J.Res. 213 — Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to the "California State Nonroad Engine Pollution Control Standards; Commercial Harbor Craft Regulations; Notice of Decision".
I keep going back and forth on this one. The problem is real; I'm not convinced this is the instrument for it. Someone closer to this than me should say whether that's right.
