Kim said: “Peaceful protests are a constitutional right we all cherish, and our communities should not be living in fear. But peaceful protests and freedom of assembly gave way to chaos in Los Angeles.” An opponent, Rep. J. Luis Correa, D-Calif., said: “This resolution is not prime time for a vote. There are a lot of inaccuracies.” The vote, on June 27, was 215 yeas to 195 nays.

COMBAT IN IRAN: The Senate has rejected a motion to discharge from committee a resolution (S.J. Res. 59), sponsored by Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., that would require the removal from Iran of U.S. soldiers in the absence of Congressional authorization. Kaine said: “I think the events of this week have demonstrated that war is too big to be consigned to the decisions of any one person.” A resolution opponent, Sen. Pat Moran, R-Kan., said: “Having received a classified and thorough briefing from our military, intelligence, and diplomatic officials, I conclude that the president acted within his constitutional authorities.” The vote to discharge, on June 27, was 47 yeas to 53 nays.
YEAS: Bennet D-CO, Hickenlooper D-CO
RURAL HOSPITALS: The Senate has rejected a motion sponsored by Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., to commit the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1) to the Senate Finance Committee with instructions to insert provisions supporting Medicaid and Medicare funding for rural hospitals. An opponent, Sen. Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, said some rural hospitals have financial problems that cannot be resolved by federal payment supports, and it would be better “to advance permanent solutions to provide rural providers, from telehealth to innovative reimbursement models.” The vote, on June 30, was 49 yeas to 51 nays.
YEAS: Bennet, Hickenlooper
HEALTH CARE REGULATIONS: The Senate has rejected a motion sponsored by Sen. Christopher Coons, D-Del., to commit the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1) to the Senate Finance Committee with instructions to insert provisions that remove new regulatory processes that could reduce health care benefits paid to individuals. Coons said: “It is cruel and dishonest to bury parents, kids, and seniors in paperwork and then blame them when they lose their healthcare.” An opponent, Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., said the processes would make Medicaid “financially stronger so we can protect and strengthen it for seniors in nursing homes, for people with disabilities, for pregnant women, and for children.” The vote, on June 30, was 48 yeas to 52 nays.
YEAS: Bennet, Hickenlooper
MEDICAID, FOOD STAMPS: The Senate has rejected a motion sponsored by Sen. Ben Ray Lujan, D-N.M., to commit the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1) to the Senate Finance Committee with instructions to insert provisions averting cuts in Medicaid and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. Lujan called the motion an “opportunity to step away from these devastating cuts, to show our fellow Americans that in this country we care for our friends, families, and neighbors who need support.” An opponent, Sen. John Boozman, R-Ark., said “SNAP spending has nearly doubled since 2018, putting this vital program on an unsustainable path, wrought with mismanagement and waste.” The vote, on June 30, was 49 yeas to 51 nays.
YEAS: Bennet, Hickenlooper
MATERNAL CARE AND MEDICAID: The Senate has rejected a motion sponsored by Sen. Lisa Blunt Rochester, D-Del., to commit the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1) to the Senate Finance Committee with instructions to insert provisions for maintaining current Medicaid funding of maternal care and infant care at hospitals. Blunt Rochester cited the country’s relatively high maternal and infant mortality rates and said sustaining Medicaid’s funding of a large share of maternity care was needed to preserve “vital hospital services.” The vote, on June 30, was 48 yeas to 52 nays.
YEAS: Bennet, Hickenlooper
MEDICAID AND ILLEGAL ALIENS: The Senate has rejected a motion to waive budgetary considerations for an amendment sponsored by Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1), that would have reduced federal Medicaid funding for states that provide Medicaid coverage to aliens who face certain criminal charges. Cornyn said: “We don’t want our safeguard for our seniors and most vulnerable individuals to be dissipated on behalf of people who should not be here in the United States in the first place.” An opponent, Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., called the threat of reduced funding “collective punishment of American citizens.” The vote, on June 30, was 56 yeas to 44 nays, with a three-fifths majority required for approval.
NAYS: Bennet, Hickenlooper
IMMIGRANTS AND HEALTH INSURANCE BENEFITS: The Senate has rejected a motion to waive budgetary considerations for an amendment sponsored by Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1), that would have barred individuals who are unauthorized U.S. residents from receiving federal Medicaid or Children’s Health Insurance Program benefits. Blackburn said that removing from Medicaid the 1.4 million illegal aliens currently receiving benefits was necessary “to protect Medicaid for those who truly need it.” An opponent, Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., said the amendment “penalizes innocent people who are eligible for Medicaid coverage and they are waiting to cut through a thicket of red tape and get healthcare.” The vote, on June 30, was 53 yeas to 47 nays, with a three-fifths majority required for approval.
NAYS: Bennet, Hickenlooper
TRADE POLICY: The Senate has rejected a motion sponsored by Sen. Margaret Hassan, D-N.H., to commit the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1) to the Senate Finance Committee with instructions to insert provisions that attempt to resolve trade disputes with Canada and prevent inflation associated with tariffs. Hassan said, “I can think of few ideas as willfully self-destructive as launching a trade war with one of our closest allies and, in effect, imposing a national sales tax on families and small businesses.” A motion opponent, Sen. Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, said, “We can and should have a debate about the precise approaches, including how best to incorporate tariff policy, but this is not the appropriate vehicle to have a serious debate on trade.” The vote, on June 30, was 48 yeas to 52 nays.
YEAS: Bennet, Hickenlooper
HOME SCHOOL EXPENSES AND TAXES: The Senate has rejected a motion to waive budgetary considerations for an amendment sponsored by Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1), that would have increased to $600 the amount of teachers’ expenses for buying school equipment to be deducted from federal taxes, and expanded the deduction to include home school expenses. An opponent, Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., said any expansion “should be in the Education Committee and debated” there rather than inserted into a bill without formal consideration. The vote, on July 1, was 54 yeas to 46 nays, with a three-fifths majority required for approval.
NAYS: Bennet, Hickenlooper
SCHOOL VOUCHERS: The Senate has rejected a motion to waive budgetary considerations for an amendment sponsored by Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1), that would have eliminated from the bill a provision providing vouchers to help fund enrollment in public or private schools. Hirono said, “We should be investing in public education for all Americans, not diverting tax dollars to private schools.” An opponent, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said, “Every child, regardless of race or wealth or ethnicity, deserves access to an excellent education.” The vote, on July 1, was 50 yeas to 50 nays.
YEAS: Bennet, Hickenlooper
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: The Senate has approved an amendment sponsored by Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1), to eliminate from the bill a provision preventing states from regulating artificial intelligence (AI). Blackburn said that in the absence of adequate federal action on AI, states had succeeded in “protecting children in the virtual space. They are the ones that are out here protecting our entertainers’ name, image, likeness–of broadcasters, podcasters, authors.” The vote, on July 1, was 99 yeas to 1 nay.
YEAS: Bennet, Hickenlooper
ENERGY TAX CREDITS: The Senate has rejected an amendment sponsored by Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1), that would have eliminated bill provisions to end various clean energy and energy efficiency tax credits. Shaheen called preserving the tax credits a way “to make energy and housing more affordable and to support American jobs and businesses.” An opponent, Sen. Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, said “continuing to subsidize mature industries is wasteful.” The vote, on July 1, was 49 yeas to 51 nays.
YEAS: Bennet, Hickenlooper
FEDERAL BUDGET MANAGEMENT: The Senate has rejected an amendment sponsored by Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1), that would have eliminated $100 million of funding for the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Van Hollen said: “We should get rid of this wasteful spending. They don’t need $100 million.” An opponent, Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., said OMB “needs to identify budgeting and accounting inefficiencies in the executive branch. They need the resources to do it.” The vote, on July 1, was 50 yeas to 50 nays.
YEAS: Bennet, Hickenlooper
BUDGET BILL: The Senate has passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1), sponsored by Rep. Jodey C. Arrington, R-Texas. The wide-ranging budget bill’s provisions include making permanent numerous tax code changes included in 2017’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act; a higher federal tax deduction for payment of state and local taxes (SALT); ending various energy tax subsidies; tax deductions for tips, overtime pay, and interest expenses on personal car loans; increasing the debt limit by $4 trillion; and requiring state Medicaid programs to evaluate whether able-bodied single adults are eligible for benefits. A supporter, Sen. Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, said: “This bill’s economic growth, combined with deficit reduction that we have in it, finally puts our country on a much better fiscal trajectory.” An opponent, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., called it “the single most expensive bill in U.S. history to give tax breaks to billionaires, while taking away Medicaid, SNAP benefits, and good-paying jobs for millions of people.” The vote, on July 1, was 50 yeas to 50 nays, with Vice President Vance as the 51st yea vote.
