Every change we ship — to the data, the methods, and the product — dated and in plain language. Same discipline as everything else here.
v.2026.06
Politician scorecards now show a per-issue accountability gap — what a representative said next to how they actually voted, with each gap measured.
Reviewer leanings are now published on each politician page, so you can see the balance of the panel behind the numbers.
Corrected a stale stated-housing value that hadn't refreshed after a representative updated their public position.
v.2026.05
Plain-language briefings for every active bill — what it does and who it touches, with the original text always one tap away.
Roll-call votes are now ingested on a daily cadence from the House Clerk and Senate LIS, normalized across both chambers.
The "Ask" assistant now cites the specific bill sections behind its answers, and declines to tell you how to vote.
v.2026.04
Campaign-finance context from the FEC, so you can see who funds a bill's sponsors alongside what the bill does.
Sponsor and committee links now resolve to the official record, with the source and retrieval time stamped on each.
Published the donor-disclosure threshold we hold ourselves to — every donor above the line is listed.
v.2026.03
Scenario-based onboarding that estimates where you stand on the issues you care about — the basis for every personalized score.
Split "is this on your radar?" (relevance) from "does it match your values?" (alignment) into two separate scores, so neither is mistaken for the other.
Onboarding progress is now preserved across a multi-step session instead of resetting on reload.
v.2026.02
Bill detail pages — plain-language summary, affected issues, and a timeline of actions, each with provenance attached.
Bill text and metadata ingestion from Congress.gov and GovInfo, with source and retrieval time stamped on every record.
Provisional labeling on any analysis a human reviewer hasn't confirmed yet — shown, never hidden, never presented as settled.
