Two tools shipping today. Both target federal disclosure systems where
the legal requirement exists but the practical access is shaped to
deter reading.
WASHINGTON · FEDERAL LOBBYING
Track Lobby live
Federal lobbying disclosures are filed quarterly under the Lobbying
Disclosure Act on the Senate's LDA database. The official search
returns top-level metadata; the actual issues lobbied, amounts paid,
and lobbyists named sit one more click away in the PDF filing. Most
people don't click. Track Lobby flattens every filing to who paid
whom, how much, on what issue, with the source document one tap from
the row. Parallel browse paths surface congressional rosters with
party / state / chamber filters, executive-branch rosters with Path
to Office detail for cabinet principals, and 20 curated issue topics
that aggregate filings by jurisdiction.
Data sources: Senate LDA, FEC, Congress.gov, CourtListener, Federal
Register — all five routed through a single Cloudflare Worker
proxy. No third-party CDN, no fabricated data, em-dash empty states
wherever a value is unknown.
WASHINGTON · STOCK ACT DISCLOSURE
Congress Trade Alerts in testing
The STOCK Act requires members of Congress to disclose stock trades
within 45 days. Many disclose late. The official tools to track this
are buried, slow, and stop short of naming the violation. CTA
surfaces every disclosure filed by sitting members within ~30
minutes of appearing on the source feeds, flags trades past the
statutory window with a LATE marker on the row, and lets readers
subscribe to push alerts for individual members.
Aggregate stats surface alongside the feed: count of members
currently overdue under the 119th Congress, disclosures in the last
7 days, committee-jurisdiction overlap signal, and a 30-day
Congress-vs-S&P alpha read.
Methodology, sources, and known limitations are documented in the
app and on the companion web tool.
