Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Not yet voted on. This bill is still a proposal: it hasn't reached a floor vote, and its text can change in committee or on the floor before any vote.

Stopping Foreign Influence in Elections Act of 2026
This bill imposes on certain tax-exempt organizations federal income taxes and penalties, including loss of tax-exempt status, for contributing to a political entity within two years of receiving a contribution or gift from a foreign national (disqualified political committee contribution).
Under the bill, tax-exempt organizations described in Section 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code (e.g., charities, social welfare organizations, labor organizations, and business or civics leagues) that make disqualified political committee contributions are subject to federal taxes in the amounts of 100% of the contribution for the first such contribution and 200% of the contribution for each subsequent contribution.
For a third and each subsequent contribution, the bill also revokes the organization’s tax-exempt status for two years (from the date the contribution is made).
A penalty of twice the amount of any disqualified political committee contribution also is imposed on certain tax-exempt 501(c) organizations that have (1) gross receipts of $200,000 or more for the prior tax year, or (2) assets of $500,000 or more for the prior tax year.
