Politis

Read what Congress is doing. Politis turns the bills, versions and actions published by GovInfo and Congress.gov into something you can actually follow: every bill version as it's printed, the full text laid out like a book, plain-language summaries, who sponsored it, and how far it has gotten.

What it can do

• Follow the latest from Congress. Every bill version the House and Senate publish, newest first, plus what the White House is issuing and which bills reached the floor.
• Read a bill like a book. A title page, a page for each title and subtitle, a searchable table of contents and page turning. The text is drawn natively, with section numbers, nested paragraphs and amended text set apart the way the web reader shows them.
• Understand where a bill stands. A progress tracker from introduction to law, the CRS summary for each version, every recorded action, related bills, cost estimates, subjects and cosponsors.
• Search everything. Bill numbers ("H.R. 1"), titles, phrases from summaries, presidential documents and members of Congress, with matches highlighted.
• Look up members. Their party, district, terms of service, office, and the bills they sponsor.
• Save bills. Follow a bill once and every version of it is followed; see them all in one place and get notified when they move.
• Stay in the app. Links to the U.S. Code, Congress.gov, PDFs and members' websites open in an in-app browser sheet.
• Light, dark or system. The same palette and serif headings as the website.
