YOUR DISTRICT IS NOW A TAB District moved out of a settings row into the main navigation, and was rebuilt in the order people read it: who represents you — three tappable portraits — then what's on your ballot, then how the district is doing, then what those representatives have done about it. A REPORT CARD YOU CAN OPEN Economy, health and safety each carry a plain-language grade, the measure driving it, and the share of districts doing worse. Tapping a row opens every measure in that category, number first, each ranked against a named group of districts. MONEY FROM PEOPLE, NOT JUST PACS Individual donor money is now in the app. A representative's funding section leads with money given by people rather than committees: the cycle total, roughly how many donors it came from, the share that arrived in gifts under $200, and how it compares to their PAC money in the same cycle. It covers the 2024 and 2026 cycles and says which ones — a cycle that isn't loaded reads as unloaded, never as zero. TWO KINDS OF MONEY THAT WERE INVISIBLE • Bundled money — individual checks an advocacy PAC collected and forwarded — now has its own labeled bucket, kept out of that PAC's direct giving. • Money spent against their opponents is its own bucket now, separate from money that names them. MORE OF CONGRESS, FEWER DEAD ENDS • Explore is a fixed grid with every destination visible at once: House, Senate, Bills, Votes, PAC $, Companies, Committees. Both rosters are searchable by name or state. • A new Votes screen lists what both chambers voted on, in plain language rather than clerk shorthand, and each row opens the bill it belongs to. Roll calls now say whether they passed — including the ones that needed a supermajority, and the ones the Vice President decided. • Bills filter by where they stand: still moving, passed one chamber, awaiting the President, became law, or failed. • Resolutions that disapprove a federal rule name the agency and the rule, instead of all reading alike. • The week's numbers open. Bills introduced opens that week's bills; roll calls opens what was voted on and how each member voted. ASK LEARNED THE MONEY QUESTIONS "Who funds my representative?" leads with individual donors and keeps PACs as the follow-up. "How much did a PAC bundle for them?" now answers at all, and so do questions about the closest votes in Congress. ACCURACY FIXES • A member's trade list said 30 for anyone with more than thirty disclosures in a year. Members with hundreds now show their real count. • A representative who disclosed no trading in the last year now says exactly that. The old comparison counted the congressional salary as trading, so 450 representatives with nothing disclosed were told it equaled three years of median household income. • "Traded in this issue's companies" counted a member's whole record — every issue reached most of the tracked universe. It now counts the sectors an issue actually concerns, and names them. • A signed bill could report its last action as "introduced" — 2,419 bills had theirs picked arbitrarily among same-day events. • Headers reported how many rows we sent, not how many exist. Counts now come from the full result. • The directory listed 16 members who have already left Congress. It lists sitting members only. • Bill analysis: fixed a class of verdicts that read as net-positive while the analysis's own findings named a concrete cost to the public. 217 bills were re-read; 15 verdicts changed. • Committee rows in a member's record open the committee. Every section front draws one header, and back goes back one level. • Long feed headlines end at a word, and a tap opens the full text. • Changing your ZIP updates every screen without restarting the app. • Shared links open in the app, and taps from another tab open the right page on the first try. Claims still tap through to the filing they came from. Correlative observation from public records — not evidence of coordination or wrongdoing.
