Congress decoded.
Stay informed.
Thousands of bills are introduced each year, hundreds signed into law, some vetoed, all have the ability to impact your life. In a democracy it's important that we understand what our government is doing to know if we've elected the right people to represent our values.
Why CongressBase?
The Problem
Congressional bills are written in dense legal jargon that most people don't have the time to parse. Critical legislation affecting healthcare, taxes, civil rights, and more passes through Congress every day, yet the average citizen has no practical way to follow along.
Our Solution
CongressBase translates government activity into plain, accessible language. We use AI-powered summaries, intuitive status tracking, and community engagement tools so you can understand what Congress is doing, and make your voice heard.

Built for Americans, by Americans
CongressBase is exclusively available to users within the United States. Because likes, dislikes, and view counts reflect how Americans feel about legislation, we restrict access to U.S.-based visitors to prevent foreign influence from skewing those numbers.
While it's not possible to completely restrict the site to U.S. visitors only due to VPNs being able to circumvent the country barriers, we take every reasonable measure we can to preserve the integrity of the data on this platform. Protecting the authenticity of American public sentiment is something we take seriously, and we're always working to improve our safeguards.
Free for Everyone
CongressBase is free to use. We believe access to clear, understandable information about your government is a right. There are no paywalls or premium tiers. Just transparent information for every American.
Running this platform takes time and resources. If CongressBase is valuable to you, consider making a donation to help us keep the lights on and continue building new features.
