About Legislate.dev
Legislate.dev is a small, independent project that uses AI to make United States congressional activity easier to read. Every year, Congress files thousands of bills, holds hundreds of recorded votes, and produces millions of words of legislative text. It's all technically public, just spread across many official sites and formats. We try to bring it together in one place that's easy for anyone to follow.
We start from the primary sources Congress already publishes: the bill text, the roll calls, and the member directories. We turn that material into something a person can scan in a few minutes: plain-language summaries, status timelines, and links back to the official record for anything you want to verify.
We try to stay out of the way. We don't editorialize, we don't take positions, and we don't recommend how anyone should vote. We summarize what the text says and who voted how, and point to the source.
Sources
Everything on Legislate.dev comes from publicly available government data. We don't scrape opinion sites or reword news coverage. We go directly to the institutions that publish the record.
Congress.gov
congress.govThe official site of the United States Congress, maintained by the Library of Congress. Primary source for bills, members, committees, cosponsors, actions, roll call summaries, and canonical permalinks to bill text.
Office of the Clerk, U.S. House
clerk.house.govOfficial record of House proceedings. Source for the definitive list of how each Representative voted on every recorded House roll call.

Data is refreshed continuously as Congress updates its records. There may be a short lag between when a vote is cast or a bill is introduced and when it appears here.
If you want to start somewhere, the bills index is a good entry point. You can also browse members of Congress or jump into recent votes.
