Mark R. Warner Agree

In the midst of an unprecedented economic and health crisis that has pushed millions of workers to the brink of poverty, the least we can do is ensure that our minimum wage is a living wage that allows folks who work a full-time job to make ends meet.

Health careNo. 02/14

Federal premium subsidies for Affordable Care Act marketplace plans should be expanded.

Background

These subsidies lower the monthly cost of health plans bought on HealthCare.gov and state marketplaces. Expanding them would lower premiums for more buyers and increase federal spending.

ImmigrationNo. 03/14

Congress should fund more physical barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Background

GunsNo. 04/14

Federal law should require background checks for all gun sales, including private sales.

Background

Federal law requires background checks for sales by licensed dealers but not for most sales between private individuals. This would extend the requirement to private sales.

AbortionNo. 05/14

Abortion laws should be set by each state rather than by Congress.

Background

Since the Supreme Court's 2022 Dobbs decision, each state sets its own abortion laws. Agreeing means Congress should not pass a national law that either expands or restricts access.

EconomyNo. 08/14

The U.S. should keep broad tariffs on imported goods.

Background

Tariffs are taxes paid on imported goods. Since 2025 the U.S. has applied tariffs to imports from most countries, and this statement is about keeping them in place.

Foreign policyNo. 11/14

The president should get approval from Congress before taking further military action against Iran.

Background

The U.S. carried out military strikes on Iran in 2025 without a vote in Congress. This would require approval by Congress before further U.S. military action against Iran, other than responding to an attack.

Bert Mizusawa Disagree

I think we have to trust the president on that account.

Background

A 2025 federal law created a tax credit, starting in 2027, for donations to groups that fund private school scholarships in states that opt in. Agreeing means keeping or expanding that kind of federal support.
