Caution

Dataset is not yet available.

This temporal higher-order network represents legislative bill sponsorship in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Nodes are US Congresspersons, and each simplex contains the sponsor and co-sponsors of one bill.

Timestamps are measured in days and record when each bill was introduced. The dataset was derived from James Fowler's data and restricted to simplices with at most 25 nodes.
