We believe government accountability requires more than rhetoric. It requires data. Gov Transparency Project publishes independent, non-partisan analysis of federal spending, congressional activity, and economic policy — sourced exclusively from public government records.
No spin. No agenda.
Just the numbers your
elected officials hope
you won't read.
Every claim we publish is sourced from primary government data — FRED, US Treasury, Congress.gov, CBO, OMB, BLS, and BEA. We link to the source. Always.
We don't have a political home. We apply the same scrutiny to every administration, every Congress, every agency. The numbers don't lie — and neither do we.
All data we use is in the public domain, published by federal agencies. We organize it, analyze it, and make it readable. That's it.
Where every federal dollar goes. We track outlays, discretionary spending, mandatory programs, and the agencies spending your money.
Explore →Every vote, every bill, every roll call. We track the 119th Congress using official Congress.gov data so you know how your representatives actually vote.
Explore →GDP, inflation, unemployment, and Federal Reserve policy tracked in real time using FRED economic indicators from the St. Louis Fed.
Explore →Federal rulemaking, executive orders, and agency actions that reshape the economy — tracked from the Federal Register.
Explore →The deficit, the debt trajectory, and CBO projections. We track the long-term fiscal picture the annual budget debates often obscure.
Explore →We use only primary government sources. No aggregators, no think tanks, no partisan organizations. If we can't source it to a federal agency or official government API, we don't publish it.

Every data point in our analysis links directly to the originating federal agency or API. We do not use secondary sources, press releases, or aggregated datasets that obscure the underlying government data.
When we compute derived metrics — year-over-year inflation, deficit as a percentage of GDP, debt trajectory — we show the formula and the source series. Readers can verify every calculation independently.
We describe what the data shows. We do not assign blame, credit administrations with outcomes they didn't cause, or editorialize about policy choices. Context is provided; conclusions are left to the reader.
Economic data is revised. FRED series are updated on federal release schedules. Congressional data reflects the latest API response. We display the most recent available data but note when figures are preliminary or subject to revision.
Every Sunday — key spending data, vote breakdowns, and the stories politicians hope you miss.
