Breakdown: Your Voice in Congress Breakdown closes the feedback loop between you and your representatives in Congress. See what they're voting on, vote yourself, and find out where you actually stand with the people representing you — all in one place. As a 501(c)(3) that doesn't accept donations from any political party, Breakdown delivers raw congressional data with no spin, no bias, and no agenda. Key Features Vote on Real Bills: Read AI-generated summaries of actual legislation and cast your own vote — yes or no — so your position is on the record. See your Agreement Score: Find out what percentage you actually agree with your senators and representative, based on real votes — not party labels or media narratives. Track Legislation by Issue: Follow categories like Healthcare, Defense, Climate, Civil Rights, and more. Your feed updates automatically as new bills hit the floor. Explore Representative Profiles: Dig into your reps' voting records, sponsored bills, committee assignments, and career timelines. Real-Time Updates: Get notified as votes happen in the House and Senate so you never miss what matters to you. Breakdown was built to make Congress legible to the people it's supposed to serve.

Laws get passed whether you're paying attention or not. PollSee makes paying attention take about two minutes a day. EVERY MORNING, A BALLOT Five real bills — from your city council, your state, and Congress — picked for where you live. Swipe agree or disagree, skip what you don't care about, and see where your district actually lands. No punditry, no comment wars. Just the bills. PLAIN ENGLISH, ZERO LEGALESE Every bill leads with how it hits you, not how it's numbered. Tap "Read it" for the gist in bullets, definitions for the jargon, and answers to whatever you want to ask. The official text is always one tap away. PROPOSE YOUR OWN LAWS Something broken where you live? Write it plainly. We help you shape it into a real proposal, verified neighbors co-sign it, and at 50 signatures it goes to your council member. Free. Yes, really. Yes, you. KNOW WHO ANSWERS FOR IT Your reps — federal, state, and local — in one list, with what they're sponsoring and how to reach them. Plus every election on your calendar, down to the local races nobody tells you about. COVERAGE THAT'S ACTUALLY DEEP All 50 state legislatures, Congress, and city councils in 34 cities including New York, Chicago, and DC — with more coming. SHARE THE RECEIPTS Send any bill to anyone. If they don't have the app, the link opens instantly anyway — no download required. Your vote is verified once, counted per district, and impossible to astroturf. Your neighbors are already weighing in. See where you land.
