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.

- S. 759 — Modernizing Access to Our Public Oceans 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. Happy to be told I've read it wrong.

- 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.
This is unglamorous plumbing, and unglamorous plumbing is usually what matters. Yes from me. The committee report would settle it either way.

- H.R. 5334 — Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026
I'd support this and still say the effective date is optimistic. Everything downstream of it assumes agencies move faster than they do. I'd rather see it fixed in committee than argued about on the floor.

Fair, though the alternative on the table is nothing, and nothing has a cost too.

- H.R. 2555 — Freedom of Association in Higher Education Act of 2026
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. 2555 — Freedom of Association in Higher Education Act of 2026
Worth reading the sponsor list before deciding — it's less partisan than the framing suggests. Worth knowing who asked for this and when.

- H.R. 10125 — NO PROFIT Act
Agreed on substance, disagreed on timing. Doing this badly now makes doing it well later harder.

- H.R. 10104 — Restoring Economic Diesel Fuel Act of 2026
I keep going back and forth on this one. The problem is real; I'm not convinced this is the instrument for it.

- S.Res. 817 — An executive resolution authorizing the en bloc consideration in Executive Session of certain nominations on the Executive Calendar.
Support. The reporting requirements alone would be worth it. You can't fix what nobody is required to measure.

- S.J.Res. 198 — A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services of the Department of Health and Human Services relating to "Medicare Program; Implementation of Prior Authorization for Select Services for the Wasteful and Inappropriate Services Reduction (WISeR) Model".
Yes from me. The cost looks modest relative to what we already spend on the same problem indirectly.
