GovTrack.us VS Vote Smart

Ya'll spend your time focusing on your 2minutes of daily republican hate on reddit without even knowing. Go on govtrack.us and pick any random republican and look. Also conservative =/= republican. Here I just picked Allen Rick from GA. Look at all of his Trans genocide bills. Source: 11 months ago

If you are going to read the post, I suggest finding some AP correspondents that dont use Adjectives. Or temper the posts articles, with news of an equal timbre but opposite view. So you can hold them to a standard. And start digging into govtrack.us read these bills all the way back to their origins. Who wrote them, even compare old versions to see whats changed.

However, neither bill appears to have passed either the house or the senate, according to govtrack.us, and I cannot find a text of the authorization bill that actually passed congress this month. Source: over 1 year ago

I recommend r/watchingcongress as a good aggregator to alert you when new things are introduced. They link to the govtrack.us site, which pulls its data directly from the Senate and House back-ends. You can set an account up on GovTrack and set up email updates for bills that you are tracking. Source: over 1 year ago

The person who posted the League of Women Voters website beat me to it. There’s also Vote 411 and Vote Smart, Vote.org, and I Side With. All of these have a lot of good info for national, state, and local elections. Source: 12 months ago

Also check out https://justfacts.votesmart.org/, which also gives their rating with different organizations (NRA, Pro-Choice, etc) and fastdemocracy.com if you're interested in a particular bill. Source: about 1 year ago

I still don't understand how the co author of the 1994 omnibus crime bill became VP and president. Imagine if people cared more about facts than sensational news. https://justfacts.votesmart.org/. Source: over 1 year ago
