Too few votes in common to mean much yet.

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. 10595 — To subject certain private funds to joint and several liability with respect to the liabilities of firms acquired and controlled by those funds, and for other purposes.
The reporting requirement *is* the guardrail. Once the numbers are public the politics change on their own.

S. 550 — A bill to provide for the equitable settlement of certain Indian land disputes regarding land in Illinois, and for other purposes.
The reporting requirements are the useful part. You can't argue about something nobody is required to measure. Happy to be told I've read it wrong.

S. 283 — Illegal Red Snapper and Tuna Enforcement 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. Happy to be told I've read it wrong.

S. 858 — Hershel ‘Woody' Williams National Medal of Honor Monument Location Act
That's the part I can't get past either — broad authority, thin guardrails.

H.R. 10182 — To amend the Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1965 to require eligible recipients of certain grants to develop a comprehensive economic development strategy that directly or indirectly increases the accessibility of affordable, quality care-based services, and for other purposes.
I keep going back and forth on this one. The problem is real; I'm not convinced this is the instrument for it. I'd rather see it fixed in committee than argued about on the floor.

S. 5123 — Lunar Landing Day Act
This looks like it codifies practice that already exists informally. Worth doing — informal practice evaporates when an administration changes. The floor version may not be this version, which is the usual problem.

H.R. 8476 — No Antisemitism in Education Act of 2026
What I'd want before deciding: who administers it, out of which budget, and who they answer to when it doesn't work. I'd want the cost estimate before I'd defend either position.

H.R. 10104 — Restoring Economic Diesel Fuel Act of 2026
This looks like it codifies practice that already exists informally. Worth doing — informal practice evaporates when an administration changes. That's a drafting question rather than a political one.

H.R. 10088 — To direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services, acting through the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, to conduct a study to assess the potential for expanding the safe and effective use of reprocessed single-use devices, and for other purposes.
The drafting is loose in places where loose drafting is expensive. Conference could fix it; conference could also make it worse. None of that is settled by the summary.

H.R. 8428 — Federal Fraud Prevention Workforce Training Act
This is my worry too — the cost estimate always assumes full compliance and full compliance never happens.
