Why Open America

Not another news site

Primary sources only

Data comes straight from congress.gov, clerk.house.gov, and senate.gov. The same sources Congress itself publishes. No interpretation layered on top.

Refreshed while Congress works

While a chamber is in session, floor activity, roll-call votes and White House bill statements are re-checked every minute and new bills, committee meetings and hearings every five minutes; lobbying filings, House financial disclosures and committee rosters refresh once a day, the Senate's daily floor record hourly through the evening, discharge petitions every six hours, and election results every five minutes from the state feeds once counting begins on November 3, and every minute through election night.

No tracking, no ads

We don't sell your data. We don't run analytics that follow you off-site. We don't have an editorial board with a side to push.

Three clicks to an answer

If you want to know whether your senator voted on a specific bill last Tuesday, you can find out in three clicks. That is the whole point.
