OpenSecrets

OpenSecrets is an independent nonprofit that tracks money in U.S. politics — campaign finance, lobbying, and the financial backgrounds of elected officials and administration appointees. It has no parent company and is funded primarily by foundation grants and donations, with some funders linked to left-of-center philanthropy networks, though media bias assessors rate it as center and least-biased in factual reporting. Its coverage of the Trump administration's second term focuses on data transparency — profiling officials' financial ties and tracking policy-area spending — rather than advocacy for or against administration positions.
