What they got done

Most bills never get a vote. These are the ones they wrote or backed that got somewhere.

None of the bills they wrote or cosponsored has become law or passed a chamber yet.

Still waiting, of the 3 bills they wrote: 3 are in committee. Committee is where most bills end, whoever writes them — silence there, not a vote, is the usual way a bill dies.

What their bills would do

Every bill is scored against plain yes-or-no questions. These count their bills — the ones they wrote and the ones they cosponsored — by how each question was answered: yes, or the opposite. Open one to see those bills, where each stands, and why it was scored that way. Scores are made by AI (how we use AI).

On the President’s nominees

The President chooses federal judges, cabinet secretaries, ambassadors and military officers, and the Senate decides whether each one gets the job. Most are confirmed by voice vote, which records no one’s position. In the 119th Congress (2025–2026) the Senate put 224 confirmations to a recorded vote, and confirmed every one.

How busy they have been

How many bills they have put their name to over time — volume, not results: most bills never get a vote.
