Two tools shipping today. Both target federal disclosure systems where the legal requirement exists but the practical access is shaped to deter reading.

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.

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.
