We were. So we made TransparencyData – allowing you, for
the first time, to get a clear picture of campaign contributions at both the state and federal level. Before now, there were two datasets: the OpenSecrets data focusing on federal data, and the FollowTheMoney data, focusing on state data. Now, finally, you can use to query, filter, and download this data.

These two datasets are only the beginning of what you’ll be able to query via TransparencyData. We’ve already added lobbying information from the Senate Office of Public Records, and over the next few weeks we’ll build a query interface for that dataset too. We’ll also be adding new data on a regular basis. Look for government contracting, earmarks, and congressional biographical data coming shortly.

Jeremy Carbaugh, lead developer for Sunlight Labs, gives you a quick walkthrough of the current offerings.

Allegedly, two people working as sub-contractors to the CIA had significant links to Blackwater’s operations in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, and Iraq. So who are these individuals, what kinds of links did they have to these operations, and how were these agencies able to get away with this? RT’s Dina Gusovsky gets all the details from investigative journalist and RT contributor Wayne Madsen.
