Bills and votes carry congress.gov’s policy areas. A press release takes the policy area of the main issue it is filed under, else the area the AI reading gave it; releases from before we read them with AI are matched by keywords in their title and first sentence. A count is a fact, not a judgment: members also legislate through amendments, appropriations and other members’ bills.
