Ranked by the record, not by us

Priority list

The bills furthest along and getting the most official attention right now. Each bill earns points for things anyone can check in the record. We use this list to decide which breakdowns to write next.

How the points work

How far it has gotten: reported by a committee 2, passed one chamber 4, sent to the President 6, vetoed 5, became law 3.
Recorded floor votes: 1 each, up to 3.
Recent action: 3 if in the last 14 days, 1 if in the last 60.
Cosponsors: 1 for 10 or more, 2 for 50 or more. 2 more if any cosponsor is from a different party than the sponsor.
A Congressional Budget Office cost estimate: 1. A committee report: 1.
Points measure attention and progress. They say nothing about whether a bill is good or bad.
