Watching the government
Six ways to watch Congress
Tracking Bills in Congress.
What Congress votes on, in plain language, and when a yes bundled unrelated measures together.
The stocks members trade, including in the industries their own committees oversee.
Who funds each member's campaigns, the money behind the vote.
Who pays to work the bills, the firms that file the work, and whose desks that money reaches.
Who pays to fly members and their staff, and where those trips actually land.
One letter per member: their funding, their trading, and how they back their own voters.
When Congress votes on something that matters, we read the bill and say what it actually does. We also flag when a vote was not one bill but several bundled together, because a single yes can hide what a member really voted for. Every claim here is tied to the text of the bill or the vote itself.

Where every member stands
Every member, by how they voted.
Each dot is one member of Congress, placed by how they voted on the 349 roll-call votes this site tracks. Left to right is agreement with the Republican majority. Up and down is age.
How to read this
Each dot is one member of Congress, placed by how they voted on the 349 roll-call votes this site tracks. Republicans control the House and the Senate, so they decide which bills reach the floor. Every vote here is a vote on a Republican bill. That is why the horizontal axis mostly sorts by who is in power, not by who is open minded.
New: the bills lens, followed into the money
Tracking Lobbying in Congress.
Lobbying firms file which bills they worked on, and they file their own political giving. We join the two: for every bill enough registrants named, see how far their money concentrated on the committee that decides it.
