Bonus: you can get lists of what Congress is debating and how your Congress-folks and Senators voted sent to your email. So I guess someone before me noticed how much Congress was trying to fly under the radar and avoid transparency and decided to make it easy for the public to reach. Now we just need to find a way to get that information out to the less tech-savvy.
