Why subscribe to The Capitol Hill Reader?

Our publication offers thorough, easy to understand summaries on the actions of the United States Government. We generally focus on Congress (the Senate and the House of Representatives), the federal court system, and the Office of the President, though we will sometimes write about other things.

Is this all you post?

In addition to our weekly digest, we post frequent informational bulletins about various topics related to government. Recently, we have covered the filibuster, presidential pardons, the Constitutional Amendments, and more.

Do you offer analysis or opinions?

The vast majority of the time, no, we don’t, but sometimes we do. Our primary aim is to provide information on what is happening in government so that you can form you own opinions and conduct your own analysis, but if we feel a piece of legislation or executive action is not in the best interest of the United States, we will not hesitate to discuss this. We believe in the strength of the American people.

Can I directly ask you questions?

Of course! You can do so in our subscriber chat (coming soon) or via direct message.

Thank you for considering a subscription to The Capitol Hill Reader, and stay informed!
