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.

The drafting is loose in places where loose drafting is expensive. Conference could fix it; conference could also make it worse. Happy to be told I've read it wrong.

- S. 766 — Billion Dollar Boondoggle Act of 2025
The summary reads clearly enough, but the enforcement mechanism is doing all the work and it's the part with the least detail. The floor version may not be this version, which is the usual problem.

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.

- S. 759 — Modernizing Access to Our Public Oceans Act
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. I'd want the cost estimate before I'd defend either position.

The reporting requirement *is* the guardrail. Once the numbers are public the politics change on their own.
