True100% confidence6 sourcesOct 23, 2026Democrats voted against legislation to eliminate taxes on tips.Multiple primary and secondary sources confirm that Congressional Democrats voted against the 'No Tax on Tips Act' during the 119th Congress.True75% confidence8 sourcesOct 23, 2026Democrats in Congress voted against legislation to provide an enhanced tax deduction for seniors.Multiple sources, including a Treasury press release and AP reporting, state that Democrats in Congress unanimously voted against the 2025 tax law (the One Big Beautiful Bill / Working Families Tax Cuts), which included the enhanced senior deduction, so the vote is consistently supported. The sources are mostly Republican-aligned statements, and the claim is an extraction from a passage listing the senior deduction among items Democrats 'voted AGAINST'; the vote was on the whole bill rather than a separate senior-deduction measure, and FactCheck.org notes Democrats' stated objections focused on other provisions, which does not contradict the vote itself.True68% confidence7 sourcesOct 23, 2026Democrats in Congress voted against legislation to create Trump Accounts, which are tax-advantaged investment accounts for children.The sources show that Trump Accounts were created by the Working Families Tax Cuts law (H.R. 1), and that every Senate Democrat voted against that law in Roll Call #372 on 7/1/25. House Democrats' opposition is asserted by Republican sources but not independently verified, and the fact-checkers address the law and the accounts without directly addressing the Democratic vote on them.True70% confidence12 sourcesOct 23, 2026Democrats in Congress voted against legislation to keep men out of girls' sports.The claim is that Democrats in Congress voted against legislation to keep men out of girls' sports. Multiple sources (Tuberville press release on repeated Senate votes blocking his bill, Thune's statement on Democrats blocking the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, the Congressional Record, and NY Post/Newsbreak reporting that 205 House Democrats opposed the House bill) document Democratic votes against such legislation, though the claim's wording is broad and the sources are partly partisan or secondary.
