Love that these stories provide vote counts but no method to check how your representative voted.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It's not this one. The vote total doesn't match.
Weird. Searching the site, there's only a handful of votes registered today. One of them does match the vote total, but it's entirely unrelated:
Bill Title & Description: Fallen Servicemembers Religious Heritage Restoration Act
Vote Type: Yea-And-Nay
Status: Passed
Votes yea: 235
nay: 191
Eta: Yeah, this site shows a picture of the vote totals, labeled "S 1318"
But checking the House website, "S 1318" was the one referenced above, not the FISA vote.
Ugh. That's it. Here's the text. They erased a bill to fix the graves of American-Jewish servicemembers to pass FISA.
Resolved, That the bill from the Senate (S. 1318) entitled “An Act to direct the American Battle Monuments Commission to establish a program to identify American-Jewish servicemembers buried in United States military cemeteries overseas under markers that incorrectly represent their religion and heritage, and for other purposes.”, do pass with the following
AMENDMENT:
Strike out all after the enacting clause and insert:
SECTION 1. Short titles; table of contents. (a) Short titles.—This Act may be cited as the “Foreign Intelligence Accountability Act” and the “Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act”.

I hadn't actually clicked into it to read the text. I wouldn't think I would have to.
What. The actual. Fuck.
i don’t think you really do tho.
“I’m convinced that this has been fixed,” House Rules Committee Chair Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.), who voted against FISA renewal in 2024, said Tuesday.
Oh it's "fixed" all right. If the entire GOP is suddenly like "oh this is fine now that Trump's in charge" it definitely means "the fix is in."
Section 702 of FISA allows the government to spy on foreigners located abroad
And they try to gaslight the world to just trust their closed source products and or centralized services with security and privacy.
