DOCUMENT LIBRARY / METHODS

Check the original source.

Our citation collection and publishing rules: verify original records, attribute politician statements and clearly date election results.

01 / ATTRIBUTION

Say who made a claim

Campaign promises are labeled as campaign claims. Political arguments and criticism are attributed rather than treated as neutral facts.

02 / STATUS

Separate action from outcome

Introduced bills, committee consideration, roll-call votes and enacted laws are not interchangeable.

03 / DATES

Show when it was checked

Elections, officeholders and candidate filings change. Pages reflect a dated research snapshot, not a live database.

Federal debt, overseas aid and civic records

Editorial note: figures and dates are tied to explicit reporting periods. The debt figure alone refreshes when visitors open its page; article copy does not update automatically. Avoid combining appropriations, obligations, outlays and estimates of future costs as if they are interchangeable.
