Every Dollar You Spend Is a Political Act
Free puzzles built on public data
Every Dollar You Spend Is a Political Act
You bought lumber last weekend. Groceries on Tuesday. You paid your phone bill without thinking about it.
Someone received a political donation because of each of those transactions. Do you know who?
Introducing: Follow the Money
We built something. It’s free, it takes sixty seconds, and you’ll walk away knowing something you didn’t know before about the companies you give money to every week.
Three companies. Three donation profiles. Match the company to the cash.
Each puzzle shows you real federal campaign contribution data from OpenSecrets.org — party split, dollar amounts, everything sourced and linked. You tap a company, tap the chart you think is theirs, and find out if you’re right. Get all three correct and you can dive deeper into every source.
No login. No paywall. No app to download. Just facts.

Pro-Democracy Fighters
We also launched something we’ve been wanting to build for a while: a curated directory of people and organizations on the front lines of democratic accountability.
These are the commentators, analysts, strategists, podcasters, and organizations doing the work — and we want to make sure you know where to find them.
The list includes Brian Tyler Cohen, Glenn Kirschner, Heather Cox Richardson, Joyce Vance, Harry Litman, Democracy Docket, The Lincoln Project, and more — 21 names and growing.
