What people are actually reading on congress.gov this week, as a small, well-behaved RSS feed.
A small feed is useful for a different reason than a large one: it fits on a screen, so it is the one to reach for when you want to see the whole shape of a document rather than a sample of it.
congress.gov also publishes bill status as bulk XML, which is the serious dataset behind this one.
