WHAT THE LAW DOINCongress, in plain words

For you

What bills would mean for people like you

Each of our breakdowns has a section called “What it would mean for you,” split into groups such as “If you're a veteran.” These pages gather those groups from every breakdown, one kind of reader per page.

How we sort them: a group goes on a page when its heading contains one of the words listed under that page. We match whole words, ignoring capital letters, and a plural ending in “s” also counts. A group can be on more than one page. Groups whose heading matches no word stay on their bill page only.

Breakdowns marked “Drafted by AI” passed our automatic checks and are waiting for human review, as shown on each bill page.
