Funding — not the pond
FEC money track · 2024–2026 cycle · never part of the pond
Did they take money from PACs that funded both Democrats and Republicans? Money never moves the pond.
Campaign — didn’t take the both-sides check
$0 TAKE (dual-party PAC)
Under $1,000 from PACs that fund both parties this cycle. Super PACs are not in this number. Money never moves the pond.
Context. Not the pond. Taking the check is not a flip. Flipping after the check, and staying quiet, is.
Traditional PAC contributions to candidate committees only. A dual-party PAC gave at least $1,000 to both parties. AIPAC in this table is committee C00797670. Legal, disclosed, hard-capped. Super PACs and dark money are not in this number. Taking this money is common. The amount is the story. HippoCricket doesn't put this in the pond. FEC bulk committee-to-candidate (24K/24Z), cycles 2024+2026. Dual-party = PAC gave ≥$1,000 to Dems and ≥$1,000 to Republicans. AIPAC = C00797670 only. Download the PAC table.

Feb 27, 2019 Opposed Vote
Opposed: Opposition to the restriction
Voted Nay — Bipartisan Background Checks Act (H.R.8)
On Passage
What this was: Requires a licensed dealer to run a background check on a gun sale between private parties. The 2019 and 2021 House texts are both numbered H.R. 8. The 2021 text drops the 2019 ICE notice and the bar on fee caps and transfer records, and adds a farm pest-control exception plus Spanish and English forms. Not the 2013 Manchin-Toomey amendment, and not the 2022 Safer Communities Act.

Changed from Voted Nay — Bipartisan Background Checks Act (H.R.8) to Voted Yea — Bipartisan Background Checks Act (H.R.8).
Why this is a flip: the same bill, twice, and the vote changed. A different bill on this issue is not a flip. Motions and unrelated amendments are not flips.
No explanation on the file. A silent flip is HippoCricket. An explanation takes them out.
