Billion is the civic intelligence app for everyday Americans. Most people have no idea what bills are being debated in Congress, what the President signed last week, or what the Supreme Court just decided. That's not their fault — that information has always been buried in legalese and institutional websites nobody visits. Billion fixes that. We pull directly from Congress.gov, whitehouse.gov, and federal court records and transform them into content you'll actually want to read: short-form summaries, AI-powered explainers, and dual-perspective analysis that shows you what people across the political spectrum think — side by side, without choosing a side for you. What's inside: • Bills — Track Congressional legislation from introduction to vote. See the sponsor, the status, and what it actually means. • Executive Actions — Presidential orders, memoranda, and proclamations, explained plainly and published as they happen. • Court Cases — Follow federal and Supreme Court decisions with plain-language analysis and status tracking. • Dual perspectives — Every topic includes viewpoints from across the political spectrum, presented with equal weight and full transparency. Billion isn't a news app. We don't chase outrage or manufacture controversy. We go to the source — then make it readable. A well-informed people is the foundation of democracy. That starts with access. Download Billion and start reading.
