There’s a particular kind of political document that only works when the other side hands you the material. The White House released one Wednesday — ten votes House and Senate Democrats have cast recently that, stripped of spin, are genuinely hard to defend to a normal voter. It reads like an attack ad because Democrats wrote it themselves, one roll call at a time.
Start where the list starts. One hundred ninety-two House Democrats voted against a resolution condemning socialism “in all its forms.” Set aside the theater of it. There is no version of that vote that plays well outside a college faculty lounge — you were asked to say you oppose the ideology responsible for more mass death than any other in human history, and you declined. The socialist wing isn’t creeping into the party anymore. It’s setting the terms, and this vote was the receipt.
The economic entries are just as clean. Every Democrat in both chambers voted against the 2025 tax package — the one with no tax on tips and no tax on overtime — forcing Vance to break the Senate tie (shame on Rand Paul, Susan Collins, and Thom Tillis for voting with all Democrats, by the way). Every one. They also blocked a bill barring members of Congress from trading individual stocks, which is either a principled stand or a coincidence that the ban would have inconvenienced some of the most conspicuously well-timed portfolios in Washington (Nancy Pelosi’s portfolio comes immediately to mind). Voters can decide which.
Then there’s the entry that should sting the most, because the numbers are lopsided in a way politicians usually can’t survive: voter ID. Roughly 83 percent of Americans support requiring identification to vote — not a partisan majority, a national consensus that includes most Democrats. Senate Democrats have blocked it anyway, and the leader of the caucus keeps reaching for “Jim Crow 2.0” to explain why. Asking a voter to prove who they are and that they are is not oppression. It’s the same standard we apply to boarding a plane, picking up a package, or getting into Congress – and 83 percent of the country understands that even if Chuck Schumer won’t.

The rest of the list runs through the same pattern: votes against holding Iran accountable, against posting hospital prices so patients can see what they’re paying, against keeping males out of women’s sports, against the Laken Riley Act named for a nursing student murdered by an illegal alien the system had every chance to detain. Reasonable people can argue the details of any single item. What’s harder to argue is the direction all of them point.
Question: "71% of Democrats support requiring an ID to vote. So why do you not?"
Schumer: "It’s Jim Crow 2.0. This is vicious and nasty. you will not get a single Democratic vote in the Senate."

Yes, it’s a partisan product from a partisan building, and it’s built to wound. Democrats will note that fairly. But the standard rejoinder to an opposition hit is “they’re distorting my record,” and the trouble here is that the record isn’t distorted. These are real votes, cast on the floor, in the open.
The most effective attack is the one you don’t have to exaggerate. The White House didn’t have to. It just had to keep score.
