An independent public record project
Two automated feeds post every step of legislation moving through the United States Congress and the European Union — taken straight from the official record, labeled honestly, and corrected in the open. No commentary. No paywall. Nothing to buy.
Two feeds, one method
Legislatures publish everything — but the record is scattered across procedural databases that almost nobody reads. BillTracking watches those databases continuously, understands where each bill stands, and posts what just happened and what honestly comes next. News tells you what is controversial; the record tells you what actually happened.
Bills, resolutions, votes and presidential action in the US Congress — from the official record at Congress.gov, checked every hour.

Legislative procedures moving through the European Parliament and the Council — from the EU's official registers, in plain English.
🇪🇺 AI Act | 2021/0106(COD) Rapporteur: Brando Benifei (S&D) | Lead committee: IMCO 📅 12-07-2024 | 📜 Published in the Official Journal What's next: It's law. A regulation applies as written from its start date; a directive must first be transposed into national law by the deadline set in the act. Source: OEIL procedure file 2021/0106(COD)
A real post format — the AI Act reaching the Official Journal.

Followed together, the feeds do something neither does alone: they let you watch the world's two largest democratic legislative systems work in parallel, in real time. The same policy problem — AI, climate, trade — often moves through Congress and through the Parliament and Council at the same moment, by strikingly different routes. There is no better standing illustration of how the two systems differ.
United States
Committee → floor → the Senate's 60-vote gate → reconciling two texts → the President's ten days. Every stage, and what the feed posts at each one.
Follow the US path →European Union
Commission proposal → Parliament and Council in parallel → trilogue negotiations → adoption, signature, Official Journal. Every stage, explained.
Follow the EU path →The method
Every claim in every post traces to an official source — Congress.gov for the US feed; the European Parliament's open-data service, the EU Publications Office and the OEIL legislative observatory for the EU feed. Anyone can pull the record and check a post. We think they should.
The feeds were made for classrooms: a free, public, live case study in how legislatures actually work — no subscription, no institutional license, no paywall.
