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.
120 transactions filed by 10 members of Congress in the seven days to September 7, 2026. Gilbert Ray Cisneros, Jr. filed 66 of them; the largest single trade was worth up to $500.0K.
CapitolExposed's investigation engine cross-referenced the financial activity of every actively trading member of Congress against lobbying filings, campaign donations, ICIJ offshore leaks, FARA foreign agent registrations, OpenSanctions watchlists, government contracts, and SEC insider trades. The result: 83 dossiers, two at critical severity.
Between late March and late May 2025, 53 members of Congress executed more than 2,200 stock trades valued between $34.9 million and $140 million. The trading pattern accelerated precisely around the dates when tariff policy shifted markets by double digits.
CapitolExposed's five-component conflict model flagged 20 trades as CRITICAL, scoring 0.7 or higher on a scale where the congressional average is 0.058. The highest scored 0.848, hitting committee overlap, trade-before-vote timing, and volume anomaly thresholds simultaneously.
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.
