I have been telling my non-political-wonk friends to 'Like' his page just to see the sausage being made.

Just in the last day, here are a few highlights.
Here's the roll call for Amendment 410 to H R 1, which eliminates all salaries and expenses for the National Labor Relations Board. The amendment saves $233 million. The NLRB is a notoriously political organization, and some of its investigations are not properly within interstate commerce (a constitutional authorization of federal regulation). I voted yes. It failed 176-250.
Conservative Stalwart ;) Paul Ryan voted No.
Here's the roll call for Amendment 532 to H R 1, which reverses a prohibition on the use of funds for certain Native Hawaiian and Alaskan education programs. These programs are earmarks. I voted no. It passed 313-117.
More retarded spending.
Here's the roll call for Amendment 457 to H R 1, which cuts $100 million from Community Service Block Grants. President Obama's own budget says the program "does not hold [the recipient local agencies] accountable for outcomes." I voted yes. It failed 115-316.
Where are all these Republicans we elected????????
just voted no on H R 347, which, among other things, makes it easier to criminally prosecute a person who enters an area occupied by certain government officials. This bill is so broad that if the Speaker of the House visits a McDonald's, and they shut down the place for him (or her) but forget to lock the door, and you enter, you can go to prison for up to 10 years. No intent to harm required. The bill passed 399-3.
Nobles need more protection laws than us mundanes, apparently.
Here's the roll call for Amendment 379 to H R 1, which intends to eliminate funding for a sewer project in Tijuana, Mexico. The amendment saves $10 million. Setting aside constitutional concerns, with a $1.65 trillion deficit this year, why would we fund a foreign city project? I voted yes. It passed 228-203.
Wow. They did something right for once. But you should hear the hyenas on this one. "OMG WTF. DO YOU KNOW THE LEECHING THAT GOES INTO THE USA FROM THAT? THE ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE WILL BE ENORMOUS! YOU'RE A FOOL!"
