A running count for voters

They sell favors. You get the bill.

Prices are not coming down soon. But part of your bill is a favor somebody else got, and Congress can vote on that part now.

Democrats were elected to stop it. So far: — actions done or moving, — blown, — due in the next 30 days.

What it costs you

None of these is falling soon. Nobody honest will promise you a price.

—

Who got paid, and what you got

A favor on one side, a cost on the other. Where it is only alleged or unproven, the label says so, and their side is printed under it.

The take

Opinion, written by an AI in the voice of Regina George, a fictional character.

    Is Congress doing anything about it?

    —Done or moving
    —Blown or late
    —Due in the next 30 days
    —Strayed, with no good excuse

      How this is judged, and who is judging

      This page takes a side: it wants the favors stopped and the bills lowered, and it counts whether Democrats in Congress act on it. Each status is a judgment made by Claude, an AI, from the linked source, and it can be wrong.

      Done: the test on the card is met. Moving: work has visibly started. Holding the line: a trap has been avoided so far. Up next: due within about 30 days. Waiting and No action yet: nothing to judge. Late: the date passed. Blown: the opposite happened.

      Nothing changes here until a source page has been opened and read. Where the White House or Republicans have answered, their answer is printed.
