We cover the Trump administration because that is the beat, and we report what documents say rather than what either side says about them. Where a claim is contested we name who contests it and link both records.
Primary sources: court dockets and filings, the Federal Register, agency press releases and rulemaking notices, SEC filings, state Attorney General announcements and inspector-general reports. Each report links the document it is built on.
No. We report what a settlement covers and link the official claims administrator, which is the only place that can answer eligibility. We are not lawyers and nothing here is legal advice.
The executive-order tracker lists orders as signed, by date. The second-term clock counts to noon Eastern on 20 January 2029, the moment fixed by the 20th Amendment. Both run in your browser from published figures, with the sources set out on each page.
The site may carry contextual advertising, which never determines what is covered or how. We do not accept payment to feature a case, a firm or a claim, and we do not publish sponsored reports.
