Look up your senators and representative, review congressional voting records, browse bills with source-linked explanations, and follow public legislative data.
the bill explanations with source links are actually really useful, makes it way easier to figure out what's going on without digging through government sites yourself
@azadkayasu3808 Thank you! I'm taking all of th information directly from https://congress.gov
Would love to see an alert system where I can subscribe to specific bills or topics and get notified when they hit a new stage or when my reps change their vote. Right now I'd have to manually check back, which I won't realistically do.
@hiraxevj Thank you for the comment! Will implement this feature today
Would love a way to subscribe to specific bills or topics and get notified when related votes happen on the floor. That way I could follow the legislation I actually care about without having to dig through the site manually every week.
@hilal211313 Thank you for the suggestion! Been thinking about a newsletter feature or even maybe an ai system that's connected a users email or phone number to run the process.
Love that this links directly to bill sources, makes it way easier to trust what you're reading. One thing that would help a lot is adding push notifications when a user's specific representatives vote on something, since most folks won't remember to check back regularly.
@tlinbyktlm4v1 Thanks for the suggestion. Will implement this today!
Love the idea of source-linked explanations, that alone makes it worth using. One thing I'd add is the ability to set alerts for when your specific reps vote on bills you care about, so you don't have to keep checking back manually.
finally something that makes voting records actually readable. the source-linked explanations on bills are a nice touch, especially for stuff like defense spending where the wording gets confusing.
@kutluatanu71455 Thank you!
