Congress in plain English

Track the day in Washington without living in Washington.

The Capitol Brief gives you the newest relevant movement from Capitol Hill and the White House without forcing you to sift through cable chatter, committee jargon, or stale headlines.

What are they doing on the hill?

Are they actually working?

We flag when the House or Senate have off days, even the sneaky "Pro Forma Sessions" that can last a minute or less.

When they do work, how?

We pull congressional information each day and turn it into relevant updates so you can quickly see what moved, what stalled, and what matters now.

What about the President?

We include recent executive action information in our briefs so major White House moves show up alongside the latest activity on Capitol Hill.
