Investigations
Follow the money. In-depth reporting on the donors, PACs, lobbyists, and networks that shape American policy — with every dollar amount sourced from federal filings.
PowerMap investigations follow the money from donor to politician to policy outcome. Each investigation is built on public filings, FEC data, lobbying disclosures, and government contract records — cross-referenced and analyzed to reveal the hidden connections between wealth and power.
Our team has traced over $15 billion in political spending across the 2024 cycle, identifying patterns of influence that traditional reporting misses. From quid pro quo arrangements hidden behind layers of PACs to revolving-door officials who write rules for their future employers — these investigations expose the machinery of modern political corruption.
