About DaylightGov
Members of Congress know what is inside a 2,000-page bill. Most of us do not. DaylightGov closes that gap: we read federal bills in full and explain, in plain English and without partisan spin, what they actually do and who they affect.
Who built this
DaylightGov is built and run independently by Alchemy Apps, LLC, a small for-profit company. There is no political party, PAC, or advocacy group behind it. It is funded out of pocket right now, plus reader donations. Donations are not tax-deductible.
What we cover
We focus on the bills where the gap between what is said and what is written is largest: long bills, big-money bills, and bills that move fast or change at the last minute. Those get a full page-by-page read. Every other bill we track still gets a page with its official status, marked honestly as not yet deep-analyzed.
What we do not claim
We do not predict whether a bill will pass. We do not say a bill is good or bad, or good for one party and bad for another. We do not take editorial positions. We say what a provision does, who it affects, and what the tradeoff is. You decide what to think about it.
How we stay neutral
Every analysis goes through an automated neutrality check before it publishes, and every claim is anchored to the official bill text on Congress.gov so you can check it yourself. Here is exactly how we work.
How you can help
Everything on DaylightGov is free for everyone, and it stays that way. Two things keep it running:
- Chip in once, or monthly. Donations pay for the AI that reads thousands of pages, the data feeds, and the hosting. They do not buy access; there is nothing behind a paywall.
- Set up email alerts, $5 a month. Get an email when bills you care about move, or when your own representative or senators cast a recorded vote.
What stays free
Every bill analysis on DaylightGov stays free. So does seeing who represents you and how they voted. Alerts don't unlock any of that. They're a convenience: we email you so you don't have to keep checking. If you never pay a cent, you still get the whole site.
