Today's bill · updated as Congress acts

What is Congress voting on today?

Here's the latest bill from the feed — the most debate-worthy legislation currently moving through the U.S. House or Senate, in one readable sentence with its official cost.

How this works

Hundreds of bills get committee and floor action every week; almost none reach the public in readable form. Each day we pull the bills most recently acted on from the official Congress.gov record, pick the one with the broadest public impact, and post it to @passortrash as a Pass-or-Trash poll. This page always shows the latest pick.

Want the full firehose instead of the daily distillation? The official sources are free: here's how to track Congress yourself.
