Current

The first public release of Hilltelligence — the full platform, from the raw legislative record through the analysis layered on top of it.

Bills and analysis

  • Plain-English summaries of every significant bill — a headline, what the bill does, its key provisions, who it affects, likely supporters and opponents, and a fiscal note — built from the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service analysis and the full bill text.
  • Passage probability for every bill, from introduction through enrollment, calibrated against real outcomes from past Congresses and shown as a step-by-step Path to Becoming Law.
  • Potential Cosponsors: for a bill still gathering support, the members most likely to sign on, ranked by legislative record, shared cosponsorship, and issue-area affinity, with likely opponents filtered out.
  • Deep Analysis: a premium read of a single bill across four lenses — how it compares to its predecessor and cross-chamber companion, which organizations are lobbying it, its partisan dynamics, and how it interacts with existing law.
  • Version Changes, summarizing what a bill gained or lost between prints — introduced to reported to engrossed.
  • Media Coverage, a sweep of recent reporting on a bill from a curated set of news outlets.

Pomeroy, the assistant

  • Chat about any bill, grounded strictly in that bill’s own text. Every answer cites the exact section and page, and clicking a citation opens the cited passage beside the conversation so you can verify it yourself.
  • Ask about any member, grounded strictly in their actual record — votes, sponsored and cosponsored bills, committees, caucuses, and staff — never in outside impressions.
  • A “Working with this Office” brief on each member, covering how the office engages, its legislative profile, and its coalition context.
  • Markup prep briefs for an upcoming committee meeting, covering the measures on the agenda.
  • Every conversation and analysis is saved to your workspace and can be reopened later.

The legislative record

  • Bills of the current Congress, with full text, actions, cosponsors, committee referrals, and related measures. Bill pages from the two previous Congresses remain reachable and are marked as archived.
  • Member profiles with committees, caucuses, sponsored and cosponsored legislation, voting record, staff rosters, district offices, and pass rates.
  • Member alignment: each member’s most-aligned colleagues, overall and within any single issue area, plus a head-to-head comparison of any two members.
  • Committees and subcommittees with full membership and party seniority, scheduled meetings, and filed reports.
  • Caucus rosters and full leadership boards, sourced from the caucuses’ own official rosters where they publish one.
  • Floor votes from both chambers back to January 3, 2021 — party splits, every member’s position, and Speaker elections presented as what they are.
  • Committee markup votes recovered from the reports committees file, including vote tables those reports published only as scanned images.
  • Presidential nominations, with committee referrals, actions, and the Senate votes that confirmed them.
  • The legislative schedule — House floor proceedings and committee meetings in both chambers.
  • Lobbying disclosure filings across more than 137,000 records, searchable by firm, bill, member, committee, or issue area.
  • Congressional Research Service reports, linked to the bills they analyze and browsable by issue area.
