Your representatives are voting right now.
Do you know how?
Almost nobody does. The ads, the newsletters, the press releases: everyone gives you their version. OpenCongress gives you the record, free, so you can fact check any claim.

Public institutions produce public data.
We built the tools to make sense of it, so you can fact check any claim against the record.
Transparency isn't a feature. It's the point.
What your representatives say, and what the record says.
The record, not the press release
Every vote your representatives cast, every bill they sponsored, every position they took, in one feed you can follow. Compare it to what they told you.
Ask instead of digging
Ask about a vote, a bill, or your own representatives in plain language. The answer comes from the record, with the source attached. No jargon, no PDFs.
See it before the spin
Votes, schedules, and committee activity, updated continuously, so you see what your representatives did before anyone tells you what it meant.
The record you check against.
145,000+ bills · 54,000+ votes · 1,600+ representatives
Gathered from each legislature's official sources, updated continuously. No login required.
Nonpartisan
We don't editorialize. The data is the data.
Checkable
Every bill, vote, and representative comes straight from official government sources, and each of those pages links the record it came from, so you can check any claim against the primary source yourself.
No ads, no data resale
Funded by subscriptions, not advertisers, not data buyers.
Checking a claim should take a minute, not an afternoon.
A fact check is only as good as whatever did the checking. The assistant is the last layer here, not the product; the record underneath it is. Here is why it can't make things up.
104 amendments were filed to H.R. 6644, the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act. Five were agreed to, one was tabled, one was withdrawn, and the remaining 97 carry no recorded disposition.
Two of the five that were agreed to replaced the whole text: substitutes from John Thune and Tim Scott. Republicans filed 56 of the 104 and Democrats filed 48, and every amendment that was agreed to came from a Republican sponsor.
The bill became Public Law 119-101 on July 11, 2026.
Checked against the official record on August 11, 2026
Charles de Courson has held the 5th seat of the Marne since July 7, 2024, sitting with the LIOT group, and joined the Assemblée finance committee on May 21, 2026.
In this legislature he has filed 595 amendments, 4 bills and 49 written questions.
The record also holds his previous term in the same seat, from June 19, 2022 to June 9, 2024.
Checked against the official record on August 11, 2026
On July 16, 2026 the Council passed three bills. Int. 0983-2026 carried 42–6, Int. 0972-2026 carried 43–6, and Int. 0913-2026 carried 48–1.
The same four Republicans voted no on the first two: Joann Ariola, David M. Carr, Frank Morano and Inna Vernikov. Phil Wong, a Democrat, voted no with them both times. Susan Zhuang joined that no on Int. 0983-2026, Simcha Felder on Int. 0972-2026, and Julie Menin abstained on Int. 0983-2026.

No knowledge of its own
It answers by querying a read only copy of the official database. It cannot see anything outside that data, so it cannot invent a bill, a vote, or a tally that does not exist in the record.
A source on every claim
Every reference in an answer is a live link to the record entry behind it, so you can open the bill, vote or member being cited rather than take the answer's word for it. Click one in the examples above.
Checked before you see it
Written summaries are graded before publication and stay hidden until they pass. A summary that fails review is not shown to you at all.
Graded by a different model
The model that grades a summary comes from a different family than the model that wrote it, so nothing marks its own homework.
Check your own side too.
Looking up a politician is not an endorsement, and it should not be linked to you. Conversations are encrypted at rest, anonymous mode is available on any chat, and you can permanently delete your account and all associated data at any time.
