Help me understand. I was looking to see who in Georgia made these votes that you’re pointing out. Lucy Macbath is a politician I’m familiar with so I looked into the listings you provide access to, and she is listed as twice voting nay on the HR 7006 bill on Jan 14. Am I miss-reading this in someway?

I so appreciate your work. Thank you!! Dems in office seem to be in on this fascist takeover.

They were in on the presidential election scam. They threw Kamala under the bus for a deal with trump.

I don't believe this, after everything California has done, that goon Costa throws my home county under the bus like this!?

H.R. 7006 is a FY2026 appropriations bill that funds government operations and sets spending conditions; Section 1 defines it solely as “Making further consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026”

BILLS-119hr7006eh

, and its titles list funding for Treasury, the Executive Office of the President, the Judiciary, and State/foreign assistance—not abortion or contraception policy, weapons procurement, Palestinian statehood, or U.S. healthcare regulation

BILLS-119hr7006eh

. The bill appropriates funds and requires oversight reporting

BILLS-119hr7006eh

; it does not create or change substantive social, military, or healthcare law.

Shame on the pathetic Democrats who voted for this, I’m sure they’re getting their pockets lined with more blood money. Traitors!

I just called Jaime Raskin’s office and thanked him for voting against this bill!

It’s appalling! How I wish there was a website with simple lists of Dems and Republicans and how they voted.

I have been depressed since learning my rep Lois Frankel (D Florida 22nd District) voted yes. I wrote to let her know I am disappointed and forwarded your email to other Democrat voting friends here.

Our responsibility is to seek out those like Mamdani, democratic socialists. The democratic party is dead. Vote for those that are not paid by Aipac. If we can vote that is….

My Dem rep voted Yea. I just sent him an email asking why he betrays his constituents by supporting this fascist regime and voting against basic human rights.

I feel like I was duped by my party into thinking they were the party of the people. Turns out they're just another bunch of money grubbing, spineless a-holes only out for themselves. Pathetic. Another step away from democracy.

from Colorado: Someone famous for using her hands in movie theaters to make husbands feel pleasured now used her hands to say "nay," while Democrats like Jason Crow voted Yay.

Thank you for this. My Rep (D) voted yes, and I'm pretty sure it's his AIPAC $ influencing that. He's going to be primaried. I'm in one of the bluest districts in Los Angeles. Republicans don't even bother to run here. I always vote in primaries for the most progressive, and end up with Jimmy Gomez, the sellout. But the tide is turning.
