Congress
House, Senate, bills, votes, sponsors, committees.
Follow the vote. Follow the money. Show the receipts.
A federal transparency platform for Congress, the president, cabinet officials, courts, and senior appointees, built around source records instead of political spin.
Source-firstNo public claim without a receipt.
Neutral labelsEvidence gaps, not character attacks.
Review gatedRisky findings stay unpublished until checked.
President
Executive actions, statements, administration records.
Vice President
Senate tie votes, official statements, public records.

Search the federal record
Modeled around the strongest civic-data pattern: search first, then show the source trail.
Source Policy
Every claim must open to original evidence.
Votes, donor records, public statements, summaries, and flags stay separate. The receipt drawer shows what the evidence proves and what it does not prove.
| Source Type | Use | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Congress.gov | Bills, members, legislative actions | Official |
| OpenFEC | Committees, contributions, campaign finance | Official API |
| Official Agency Pages | Appointed officials, releases, biographies | Needs capture |
| Archives | Campaign pages and public promises | Review required |
Lookup + money records
Find federal representatives from a full street address, then check OpenFEC campaign finance summaries without publishing donor-alignment claims.
Address lookup
Find federal representatives
Exact district lookup uses the U.S. Census Geocoder. ZIP-only searches can cross district lines.
OpenFEC
Search campaign finance summaries
Needs OpenFEC API key before live campaign finance lookup can run.
USAspending.gov
Search federal spending awards
Uses the public USAspending.gov award search and saves returned awards with receipt links. Results are spending records only, not proof of political influence.
FEC data is displayed as public filing summaries only. USAspending awards are displayed as agency spending records only. This product should not publish donor-alignment, vote-impact, or influence claims without review.
Official source shortcuts
Direct links to raw public records. These support the receipt trail, but the main Government Receipts search stays the primary product search.
C
Congress.gov
Official source for bills, members, nominations, committee materials, House votes, and Congressional Record entries.
OpenFEC
Campaign finance records for committees, PACs, receipts, and spending. Public displays must avoid donor-list misuse.
Open official API docsUSAspending.gov
Federal award, contract, grant, and spending trails. Useful later for agency and appropriations receipts.
Open official siteAPI connection status
Keys stay on the backend. Live records are now saved into a local database so the product can move toward durable receipt-backed profiles.
