First of all, this information was a matter of public record to begin with. Secondly, if it does not already exist, there should be a bot or website that posts which congress people voted for what and when on the regular.
Lastly, I’m appalled at how this article is framing this whole conversation. It feels like they are making this article too much about what the Harris campaign is doing, and less about the people who are voting against funding FEMA.
Then again, maybe I’m reading too much into it. I’d love to hear other thoughts.
You're not reading too much into it. Republican campaign thrives through demonizing the democrats and media profits thrive through pitting one against the other, so there's definitely an underlying goal here.
The fanatical will fanaticise and call this a hit list of people the Dems are trying to get rid of in order to derail Trump's bid for presidency. It will make the people believing that the Dems are controlling the weather even more rabid for an uprising should Trump lose.
There really should be a website. Or an app. Then if it gets big enough, you could ask for interviews to explain their reasoning. But it could get pretty big, possibly make the country better.
There’s congress.gov and house.gov or CSPAN if you want it all in one place.
Edit: if you prefer commercial there’s ballot-o-pedia.
