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.

Nutritious SNAP Act of 2025
This bill prohibits Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits from being used to purchase certain beverages (e.g., soda) and snack foods.
Specifically, SNAP benefits may only be used to purchase a beverage that is nonalcoholic and is (1) water, (2) cow's milk, (3) a milk-substitute beverage (e.g., almond milk, soy milk, and coconut milk), or (4) 100% juice.
Further, the bill prohibits the use of benefits to purchase snack and dessert food items which are included on the Food and Nutrition Service's Accessory Foods List that went into effect on March 5, 2018. Examples of snack and dessert foods on the list include potato and tortilla chips, ice cream, candy, snack cakes and pastries, and packaged baking mixes for cakes, brownies, and muffins.
