@SenateGOP @SenatorCollins Showing up matters, but so does how you vote.

Sen. Collins' lifetime Limited Government Index (LGI) score stands at 42.8%, indicating a record that frequently expanded government rather than limited it.

@ScottPresler This vote seems consistent with Sen. Murkowski's broader record.

Her 2025 Limited Government Index (LGI) score is at 58.17%, suggesting she's often out of step with what many would consider a strong limited-government voting record.

The Senate may look very different after 2026. Several Republican senators are expected to leave Congress, creating new uncertainty around future coalition voting and legislative strategy.

In a chamber where a few votes can decide legislation, even small replacement shifts matter.

I can't believe one Red Area Republican Senator voted more Democrat than Republican. He scored a 27%. Read my latest blog on the Republican scorecard for free on Substack. Link in the comment section.

🏅 MARYLAND FREEDOM CAUCUS TOPS CONSERVATIVE SCORE CARD FOR SECOND YEAR

The new @leganalysis score card is OUT and the Maryland Freedom Caucus brings home "all As" for the 2026 session.

This GOP Platform-Aligned Score Card shows voters who keeps their campaign promises and sadly, who falls very short.

@politico When a lawmaker with a 4.48% Limited Government Index (LGI) score proposes new federal AI regulations, skepticism is warranted.

Not all departing lawmakers are equal.

These members rank among the highest-scoring House Republicans expected to leave their current seats after 2026, representing some of the strongest limited-government voting records on Capitol Hill.

Their seats may be replaced, but their voting records won't automatically be.

@GOPMajorityWhip .@GOPMajorityWhip Tom Emmer is saying what we’re all thinking.

As an ILA Defender of Limited Government, he understands that freedom and privacy go hand in hand.

Republicans expected to leave Congress after 2026 averaged strong 2025 ILA scores, including a Senate average of 80.7% and a House average of 81.45%.

Their departure could significantly impact the strength of limited-government voting coalitions in Congress and influence the direction of future legislation.

@washingtonpost Does Spanberger even know how to be a centrist when her record has been rated as “Democratic Socialist”? You can campaign as a moderate, but voters eventually notice when the record says otherwise.

We are nearly $40 trillion in debt. Working families are stretched thin. And Washington is still sending federal benefits to people who entered this country illegally. 

My End Welfare for Non-Citizens Act supports American citizens instead of rewarding those who came to the U.S. illegally. This is basic fiscal responsibility, and it is long overdue.

KEY VOTE ALERT: S.3670

We support S.3670 because the federal government has a core duty to enforce our borders and uphold the rule of law. Reducing incentives for illegal immigration and strengthening deterrence against illegal entry are necessary steps to reduce taxpayer burdens and help curb runaway government spending.

While some state delegations are deeply divided, others show strong alignment on major policy issues.

These lawmakers often share similar views on election policy, healthcare, and individual liberties.

There is little disagreement among American citizens when it comes to the dangers of cartel trafficking and fentanyl. What's holding Dem Senators back? Why do they continue to look the other way?

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

Senate Democrats would rather obstruct ICE and Border Patrol than stop cartel trafficking and fentanyl pouring into our communities. They’re deliberately blocking funding for the agents risking their lives to enforce the law.
