Voting analysis

Grace Meng is ranking member of the commerce, justice and science appropriations subcommittee, and one of her departures is a vote against the consolidated appropriations act — the package her own committee's work ends up inside.

An appropriator voting against the appropriation

That is a more pointed disagreement than it looks. Members who write spending bills are usually the ones defending the final package; declining it means judging that what emerged is worse than no deal. She was joined by a good many Democrats on the same vote, but few of them had a subcommittee gavel behind it.

Her other refusals cover a daylight saving bill, a children's online safety act, an organised retail crime measure and a surveillance extension. Two crossings go the other way: she backed a war powers resolution, and a fuel retailing measure that did not survive.
