Nebraska Congressman admits to voting without reading bill | JQJO

Rep. Mike Flood (R-Neb.) faced intense criticism at a town hall for voting for a provision in the "Big Beautiful Bill" without reading it. The provision hinders judges' ability to enforce contempt orders. Flood admitted his oversight, stating he didn't agree with the provision and contacted Senate colleagues after discovering it. Attendees also questioned him on Medicaid cuts, SNAP changes, and his voting record. Flood's town hall, livestreamed on his own news network, drew a large and vocal crowd, fueled in part by encouragement from the Nebraska Democratic Party.
