GOP Senators Susan Collins (R-Maine), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) voted with Democrats on a 50-49 motion to proceed to S.J.Res.82, a Democratic-authored Congressional Review Act resolution on an HHS Administrative Procedure Act, in the U.S. Senate between 5:45 p.m. and 6:15 p.m. UTC on December 10, according to reporter Andrew Desiderio on X and Sen. Katie Britt (R-Ala.) on X. Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.) did not vote in the procedural tally, as stated by Desiderio citing Senate records. Sen. Britt criticized the vote, posting that Collins, Murkowski and Tillis "help pass a Dem-authored CRA," according to her X post during the 29-minute window. Separately, the official X account of the U.S. Ambassador to Japan posted "Whoops. Hacked on Day One:" during the period, indicating the account was hacked shortly after an unspecified Day One event, per the @USAmbJapan post. Emily Ngo responded on X to criticism of Sen. Katie Britt's demeanor, stating she was discussing children dying by suicide due to Big Tech and social media prioritizing profits, and rebuked an "online Aaron" for quips amid grieving parents, quoting a remark about Britt overcorrecting her TV smile, according to Ngo's post in the window.
