Political Insights

These charts break down how the government is split between parties, where politicians agree and disagree, and who works across the aisle. Party and chamber come from official records; the issue-position charts are built from estimated stances, not sourced positions.

Chamber Composition

Which party has the most seats in each part of government

Each dot represents one official. The party with more than half the seats is "in the majority" — they get to decide which bills come up for a vote and lead the committees.

Issue Consensus Heatmap

Where the two parties agree and disagree the most

Each bar shows how politicians from that party feel about an issue. Blue means they support it, red means they oppose it. When both parties have mostly the same color, they agree. When the colors are opposite, that issue is a major dividing line.

Stances are estimated, not sourced to each official’s public record. Treat them as a starting point and check a politician’s own statements before relying on them.

Political Spectrum

How closely each politician votes with their own party

Every politician gets an alignment score from 0% to 100%. A score near 100% means they almost always agree with their party. A low score means they often break away and vote differently. Tap any dot to see who it is.

Bipartisan Index

Which politicians work with the other party the most — and the least

The left list shows politicians who vote across party lines the most — they don't always follow their party. The right list shows those who almost never break from their party's position.
