Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 118th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

This resolution reaffirms the U.S-Philippine alliance and condemns Chinese actions against Philippine assets in the South China Sea. The resolution celebrates the longstanding alliance and partnership between the United States and the Philippines, reaffirms support for the Philippines in the face of Chinese aggression, and affirms that the United States-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty (signed in 1951) applies to armed attacks on Philippine military or public vessels in the South China Sea.
The resolution also (1) calls on China not to advance its territorial and sovereignty claims in the South China Sea; (2) condemns China's use of gray zone tactics (military provocations short of armed hostilities) and its use of lasing, water cannons, and ramming against Philippine vessels in the South China Sea; and (3) calls on China to end its aggressive behavior.
