InsideGov
The U.S. government, by the numbers

Three branches. One public record.

The news runs on numbers: gas prices, mortgage rates, tariffs, deportations, the deficit, the vote on a new law, a 6–3 ruling. The stories rarely come with the charts. InsideGov is where you find them, drawn from the government’s own records so you can see the data behind the headlines for yourself.

One place for the data driving the news cycle, straight from the public record: gas prices, mortgage rates, tariffs, deportations, the deficit, the laws Congress passes and the Supreme Court’s rulings, plus executive orders, energy, foreign aid, troops abroad, and who serves in Congress and how they vote.

Presidency

Executive orders, the economy, energy, trade, immigration, foreign aid and troops abroad, laid out against each presidential term, from gas prices and tariffs to deportations.

Congress

Every member’s votes as a two-dimensional ideology score, the laws Congress enacts and how broadly they are supported, who serves by age, gender and tenure, and estimated net worth from financial disclosures.

Who Held Power When It Happened?

Every landmark law and Supreme Court case since 1933, set against who held the White House, the Senate, the House and the Court the day it happened. Sometimes one party held everything and the big change followed. Just as often it didn’t: Roe came from a Court of Republican appointees.
