What’s new

September 23, 2026

A nightly check finds new Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) publications and matches them to the bills Civvie tracks.
Correction: district pages sometimes showed an error instead of loading. They now load reliably.

Committee badges now include the China and January 6 select committees.
Browse every bill introduced in this Congress. Search, filter by topic or by your reps, and see who sponsored and cosponsored each one.
Bills waiting in a House committee now say so, instead of "In progress".
Correction: two Senate resolutions (S.J.Res. 98 and S.J.Res. 124) had been described as passing the Senate. A point of order stopped them.

A bill opened from an answer now shows the parts that match your question.
Bill timelines now show where a bill sits between votes, such as referred to committee or received by the Senate.
Cost panels now show the Congressional Budget Office's figure instead of only a link, and new estimates arrive every night.

Answer summaries are shorter and point out what the cards below don't, instead of repeating them.
Correction: summaries no longer count how many laws passed. One had said a single health-cost bill became law when two did.

Correction: when a seat was empty during a vote, the card now says the seat was vacant instead of showing someone who had already left.

A bill named in an answer's summary now opens its card when you tap it.

Fewer answers appear without a written summary.
Executive actions now update every night, including when an order is later revoked. Seven cards showing an out-of-date status were corrected.
