Thousands of bills move through Congress every year. Almost nothing reaches you unfiltered — it arrives as a press release, a cable segment, a fundraising email.
This place skips all of that. Every bill and every recorded vote, straight from the official record, written so you can follow it — and decide for yourself what you think.
No ads. No donors. No take to sell you.
Pick your state to see how its senators and representatives voted on the latest roll calls, member by member, from the official record. Share any one of them.
The recorded votes of this Congress that came down to the fewest votes. Open one to see how every member voted, state by state or seat by seat.
Fact From the official tallies. Most votes need a majority. A few need more, and the record says so: two-thirds to pass a bill under suspension of the rules or to override a veto, sixty in the Senate to end debate. Each line counts how far the yes votes landed from what that vote needed.
Ten bills worth knowing about — five still in play, five already law. Tap any one to see who it helps, who backed it and how your member voted.

Signed this Congress. These are in force now.
Analysis Our ordering, not an official ranking. A bill scores 3 if the Congressional Budget Office costed it, 2 if a committee filed a written report, and 1 for each recorded floor vote. Ties go to the bill with more cosponsors. Every input is a fact from the record; the weighting is a judgment, so we show it.
Every measure on record, newest action first. Open one for who it helps, when it starts, the votes, and the reasoning behind each rating.
Every bill carries one subject the Library of Congress assigns. Pick a group, then a topic.
Each chamber’s final vote to pass the bill, with every yes and no counted.
Counted back from the newest action on record.
Only what the House and Senate have published. Nothing here is a prediction.
Pick a recorded vote. Each state is colored by the party of its members and how they voted: solid means yes, striped means no, gray means not voting. A split delegation shows the split. Tap a state for the names.
All 435 congressional districts, measured the same way from the Census Bureau's own boundary file. A score describes a shape. It does not say why the shape is what it is: coasts, rivers, state lines, city limits and the Voting Rights Act all shape districts. This page measures, and leaves the judging to you.

All 435 congressional districts: how many people each holds and who they are, from the Census Bureau's 2020 count and its American Community Survey. The figures describe residents. They do not say why the lines run where they run, and a district's residents are not its voters.

Facts come from the official record and are never edited. Ratings are judgments, and every one shows its evidence grade, its reasoning and the rubric version it was made under. The rater never sees who sponsored a bill or how the parties voted.
The slope of the change in after-tax income across income groups, from official analyses when they exist. A bar shows the range for a bill that helps one group and costs another; it never averages them away.
Measured, not guessed: each party's yes-rate on the recorded passage votes. The label tells you how much of the other party came along.
Two separate scores, because a bill can help both. Corporate tax changes count 25 percent to workers and 75 percent to owners, the official convention.
Find a senator or representative and get to know them: how long they have served, how they vote, what they work on, and every recorded vote they have cast.
Every sitting member, counted from this Congress's recorded votes. Tap a number under "Broke with party" to see those votes, then open any one to see how everyone else voted, or open the bill itself.
How this is worked out: a vote counts as a party split when most Democrats voted one way and most Republicans the other. "Broke with party" counts the split votes on which a member voted against most of their own party. Party is the one recorded on each roll call. Only this Congress's recorded votes are counted, and only those this site holds member by member. Independents have no party line to measure against.
The organizations behind every member's campaigns, 2016 through 2026, and the members they gave to, from the Federal Election Commission's public files. Search it, filter it, sort it by several columns at once, or see it four different ways.

Organizations only: PACs, party committees and other candidates' committees. People who gave are counted in the campaigns' totals and never named here. The list holds each member's hundred largest donors over all years and the hundred largest of each cycle; joint fundraising committees and a member's own committees are left out, because what they pass along was raised from donors there first. Refunds are subtracted. Source: FEC bulk data (committee contributions, candidate and committee master files, campaign summaries).
Three kinds of claim appear here, and they are never mixed. Every one is labelled wherever it appears — so you always know whether you are looking at the record, at reasoning, or at a judgment.
Bill text, sponsors, dates, committee actions, and every recorded vote member by member. Taken straight from GovInfo, the House Clerk and the Senate. If we have it wrong, the official source will say so — and we link to it every time.
Plain-language summaries, the ordering of lists like “Start here”, and party-backing figures worked out from roll calls. Built from facts by a stated rule, and the rule is always on the page so you can check it yourself.
Ratings of who a bill helps and by how much. These are arguments, not measurements. Each one carries its evidence and its reasoning, and anything scored by machine says so until a person has reviewed it.
Everything factual here comes from public records published by the United States government. Nothing on this site is edited by hand.
