If your team only watches Congress, that may be enough. If your team also watches state legislatures, USLege covers all 50 states plus federal in one platform, at the same depth everywhere. Live, not filed later ## Live while it's happening, not after Bloomberg Government reports the news and files transcripts of congressional hearings after the fact. Those transcripts are federal-only and arrive once the hearing is over. USLege transcribes hearings live, as they happen, across all 50 states and federal, searchable to the sentence in real time, with live searchable hearing video tied directly to the bill. We started in the states ## Every state is its own country Built by a founder who worked in DC and in the states. Washington is one building. Every state is its own country, its own calendar, its own committee rules. USLege was built state by state first, with federal layered on top. USLege is a government affairs suite, legislative hearing intelligence, bill tracking, and the surrounding workflow, built for 19 different types of teams. Built to keep building ## Constant development, shipped weekly USLege has been AI-native since 2023, backed by the largest government archive in the world, including video. Bloomberg Government's release cadence is not publicly disclosed. USLege is in constant development: shipped weekly, driven by what partners ask for. Pricing without the guesswork ## Published pricing, no quote process Bloomberg Government is quote-only. It is expensive.
