The Find It Early Act could be a game-changer in the fight against breast cancer. No woman should face financial barriers to life-saving screenings, especially when early detection is the difference between life & death, with a 99% survival rate for those diagnosed early. This bipartisan legislation ensures every woman can access critical mammograms, ultrasounds, and MRIs without the burden of out-of-pocket costs. Proud to stand with Rep. DeLauro, Senators Klobuchar & Marshall, & Katie Couric in the bipartisan, bicameral fight to improve outcomes for millions of women by expanding access to these essential tests.

The Biden-Harris Administration paves the way for bureaucrats to take gender-confused kids from "non-affirming" parents. This radical administration continues to hire new cronies to take away parental rights and enable the mutilation of children. It's both disturbing and disgusting.

Kamala Harris touts herself as an advocate for women. Yet she supports biological males competing against women and girls. She doesn't care about the erasure of women's success or safety—she only cares about maintaining power.

But I think Hakeem Jeffries went very, very hard at those comments in part because there are a lot of Haitians in Brooklyn. He was probably getting a lot of folks in his district who were saying, Hey, you have to go up to 11 on this.
Andrew Yang
The fact is that the district's leaning a little bit not in your favor, then you say, Hey, bipartisanship, I think you'll see that pattern.
Andrew Yang
I think personally, gerrymandering social media and cable news have been the problem in this country, which has accelerated [divisive behavior]. And, if you combine them together, it creates a really toxic situation.
Kara Swisher
But on some level you have to be an adult... I mean, it's fine if the tech moguls want to be adult toddlers, but there is some level of being an adult and not responding.
Kara Swisher
I was struck by one of the Builders who's not in a tough race, who went out of his way to compliment somebody on the other side - Westerman of Arkansas and Porter of California.
Karl Rove
[Hakeem Jeffries] is the leader of the Democratic Party in the last month of an election, and he's attempting to become the leader, the speaker, I'm willing to give him some leeway sometimes you have to do things as the leader of your party, which means taking a torch to the other side

I would've expected that Speaker Johnson would be at the top of the divider's list because he has refused the president's call to call Congress back before the election to refund some recovery efforts for the FEMA response.
Jessica Yellin
You're seeing a lot of members of Congress coming together and saying that this is the time to put party politics aside and help their constituents.
Jessica Yellin
I actually thought that the Republican builders really missed a number of Republican members of Congress who actually showed some leadership this week with the Hurricane Helene recovery efforts with the Hurricane Milton recovery efforts.
Aaron Parnas
I do think that we are too distracted with our internal divisions because oftentimes right now when it comes to an election, we're discussing whether or not we can trust our own intelligence community...

I think there's a difference between being nasty in campaign rhetoric and pointing out nasty things and nasty policies.
Kimberly Atkins Stohr
I think that it is not being a divider to point out something that is true. It's been an ongoing issue where everything the members are elected to do has been stalled by party politics, partisan politics. And I think that's what Congresswoman Moore is pointing out here.
Kimberly Atkins Stohr
I think if we're going to honor Builders, you need to be building towards something with courage.
Joe Lonsdale
Studying Colin Allred's effort, I think the only things he comes across the aisle on is more speaking about the border because he is on a border state in Texas, but if you actually look at his voting record, it's pretty much consistently with Schumer.
Joe Lonsdale
The fact is that we're having this conversation two weeks before one of the hottest elections in US history. It definitely affects all the statements and behavior of various actors.
Garry Kasparov
Whether they agree and disagree with his criticism of Biden's policy on Iran, I think everybody should be able to criticize a president.

That's one of the things that when I get very upset about politics, is that we're not focusing on what we can do for the people. We're only focusing on what the opposing person can't do.
Malynda Hale
The work that Zachary Nunn is doing specifically around breast cancer, I have friends' parents that have died from breast cancer and so seeing that initiative be a highlight for him was something that I hadn't even know that anybody was focusing on.
Malynda Hale
It's completely fair game in politics that if you want your party to be in power, you need to get control of the Senate or the House. It's completely fair for you to advocate on behalf of your party. It'd be really silly for us to think otherwise.
Daniel Lubetzky
The principle is that you defend against somebody and then in order to defend you need to punch back hard. I have no problem with it. It's necessary sometimes to have the courage to stand up to the bullies.
Daniel Lubetzky
If you're focused on dividing people, if you're focused on getting viral on social media, if you're focused on getting a news hit because you said something crazy, that takes away all the time towards actually serving your constituents.
Benji Backer
You should be able to defend yourself against those attacks and also tell people that those aren't true.

The Builders Power Ranking Process
Builders Power Ranking scores are generated by AI-powered data analysis utilizing data provided by Polarization Research Lab, a non-profit, non-partisan initiative of Dartmouth, Stanford, and UPenn, combined with the insights of a panel of cross-partisan analysts and commentators.
More on the process
Updating weekly, with an emphasis on communications during the past 14 days, the ranking takes into account communications, like social media posts and press releases, along with historic legislative data, to evaluate incumbent congressional representatives based primarily on a combination of the following metrics:
- Policy Discussion (+)
- Constructive Debate (+)
- Personal Attacks (-)
- Legislative Efficacy (+), with more value awarded for legislation passed with a winning coalition
More on the Process
About the Rankings
Builders created the Builders Power Rankings to bring attention to the words and behaviors that lead to problem-solving not division. The rankings are a defensible and debatable tool meant to spark dialogue about how elected officials do or do not exemplify the flexible thinking, civil discourse, and constructive problem-solving skills essential to advancing solutions for the American people.
