A civic project that evaluates congressional votes by asking who benefits and who bears the cost.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-05 issue.

Field notes

The project frames congressional accountability around binding votes rather than broad campaign rhetoric. Its stated method considers who materially benefits from legislation and who bears the cost, then applies the same criteria to each qualifying vote without weighting. The site also says readers can inspect both its determinations and the primary records behind them, while a representative-finder link supplies the starting point for locating a member of Congress.
