Frequently asked questions

How often will I get emails?

One daily digest at 8 AM your local time, and only on days there's something worth sending. When you sign up we send a verification email; clicking the link triggers a one-time welcome, and after that it's just the digests — plus the occasional nudge if you haven't verified yet.

Is this partisan?

No. We tell you how your representatives voted on bills our importance classifier flags as major. The three tones — The Basics, A Little Sassy, and Full Snark — change the writing style, not the political slant.

Is this free?

Yes — the email service is completely free, and there's no paid tier or upsell. The catch most people expect isn't here either: we don't sell or rent your personal information, or share it for third-party marketing. We use service providers to operate Cappy Pillow, your ZIP to find your representatives and set your digest time, and your email to send your digest. The full details are in our .

Which bills will I hear about?

Only the ones your representatives actually voted on — and only the major ones. We run every bill through an importance classifier that filters out routine procedural votes (like appointing a postmaster or naming a courthouse). If your senators or representative cast a recorded vote on something that cleared that bar, you'll get a plain-English summary of what it does and how they voted.

How do I pause or unsubscribe?

Every email has a one-click magic link to your settings — no password required. From there you can pause your emails for as long as you like — resume whenever you're ready — or unsubscribe entirely. Your settings are kept, and signing up again with the same email reactivates your account. Already signed up? Head to your settings.

What do you do with my email and ZIP?

Your ZIP is used to identify your congressional representatives and set your digest time, and your email is used to send your daily digest. We do not sell or rent your personal information, or share it for third-party marketing. We use service providers to operate Cappy Pillow and collect basic analytics (including masked IP address) to improve the service. The full details are in our .
