CQ’s tracking tools show you exactly where a bill is in the process, and what happened from inception to passage.

Bill Analysis

Request a detailed analysis of any bill, including its likelihood of passage, from our in-house team of experts.

Committees

Hear everything that happens in every committee and subcommittee, from veteran journalists reporting right in the room. Get a full mark-up within 24 hours.

Voter Scorecards

Create custom reports on where members stand on key issues. Add your own fields to make these reports unique, and export them to share with others. You can also quickly compare members’ voting records or track members’ voting records against your own positions.

Bill Compare

Compare two versions of a bill side-by-side and see exactly how they differ. You can compare versions of the same bill, related bills, or even versions from different sessions of Congress.

House and Senate Reports

Stay ahead of the curve with forward-focused reports of action in the House and Senate. Senate insider Ed Pesce offers twice-daily takes and curated updates on activity unfolding in the Senate. On the House side, you’ll get comprehensive analysis of every measure considered on the House floor, along with anticipated amendments, floor summaries, and fact sheets for all major legislation.

Member Profiles

See who’s with or against you with in-depth member profiles that include bios, staff, voting history, priorities, speeches, and more. Create custom profiles for sharing with colleagues or supporters.

Hot Docs

Be the most informed person in the room with our exclusive database of hard-to-find documents, including “Dear Colleague” letters, CBO reports, OMB documents, agency documents, draft bill and amendment text, and more.

CRS Reports

Searchable and alertable CRS reports dating back to 1993, updated daily. You’ll get new CRS reports when Congress receives them, so you’ll always be the first to know which policy areas Congress is researching.

Floor Video

See it happen as it happens. Live and archived video of everything that happens on the floor of the House and Senate. Searchable by keyword, chamber, speaker, and date. The closed captions act as unofficial transcripts and are available in real time.
