CapitolExposed publishes source-driven reporting with explicit methodology, corrections, and author archives. These pages show who wrote what, what desk the work came from, and how the newsroom thinks about evidence.
Every desk page is part archive, part newsroom disclosure. The goal is not just to show a byline. It is to show the standards, focus areas, and reporting scope behind the work.
Stories link back to desk profiles, desk profiles link forward into the archive, and policy pages stay one click away for readers who want to inspect how the site handles verification, corrections, and sourcing.
The research team cross-references trades, votes, lobbying, and campaign finance records to surface patterns worth scrutiny.
The investigations desk assembles case files that connect trades, committees, lobbying, donations, and document trails.
The editorial desk publishes data-led explainers, investigations, and accountability reporting built from official records.
The newest public reporting from the active CapitolExposed desks.
$815.6B in disclosed lobbying spend is currently mapped across 103,449 filings in the CapitolExposed database.
CapitolExposed currently tracks 2,057 cross-reference matches between congressional entities and external investigation datasets. These are leads that still require corroboration.
CapitolExposed grouped flagged trades by committee membership to identify the panels with the heaviest concentration of committee-linked trading risk.
15 tickers in the current disclosure data were traded by at least two Democrats and two Republicans, making them the clearest bipartisan trading clusters in the database.
Strong political accountability work needs clearer attribution than a generic byline strip. Desk pages make it obvious which reporting unit published the story, what kinds of records it works with, and where readers should go to judge the work.
The desks are organized around research, investigations, and editorial synthesis. That structure keeps the archive readable while leaving room for individual bylines as the newsroom expands.
