Freshcod3s // Civic intelligence desk
All of it has been public for years. Finding it was left as an exercise for the reader.

On disclosure
Every record on this desk was disclosed on time and in full. It arrives as a scanned PDF in a portal whose search box wants the docket number you came there to find. Congress gave itself 45 days to report a stock trade, and a $200 late fee, waivable by the committees that would have to impose it. The 2012 law also required a searchable, sortable database of all of it, and barred anyone from putting a login in front of it. Congress repealed both parts in 2013, without objection. Freshcod3s builds the part they repealed.
Live systems
Five instruments, free and ad-free, each linked to a record that has been available to you this entire time.
Washington · Federal lobbying
Federal lobbying disclosures, flattened: who paid whom, how much, on what issue, and where the source document lives. Read by client, firm, issue area, congressional context, executive-branch relevance.
OpenWashington · STOCK Act disclosure
The STOCK Act gives members 45 days to disclose covered trades. CTA turns that record into a live feed with disclosure-lag flags, member watchlists, committee-overlap context, and push alerts.
OpenBaltimore · CMS Open Payments
A neutral mirror of CMS Open Payments: the payments drug and device companies report to the federal government. Search by practitioner name, or browse by program year, nature of payment, medical specialty, reporting company, or license state.
OpenThe Moon · The human record
Every landing, every crash, the rovers where they came to rest — the human footprint on the Moon, on a globe you can fly. Real ephemeris, named terrain, no login, no pitch.
OpenWashington · TTB COLA registry
A wire for mandatory disclosures. Desk 1: federal alcohol label approvals (TTB COLA) — removals and terminal status changes, record changes, and new listings as the registry changes.
OpenOff the desk
Built off the desk. Games, experiments, and the one thing here that charges money.
The overlap
The trades are published in one place and the committee rosters in another. Freshcod3s puts a member’s committees next to that member’s trades and the lag between them. Both halves were already public. Nobody had put them on the same screen.

The discipline
What is the source?
The filing, the database, the agency. Linked, not summarized.
When was it filed?
The date that appears on the record, and the lag past the statutory window.
What changed?
The diff against the prior record. An edit, not a vibe.
What is still unknown?
The questions the record can’t answer.
Every figure links to the filing it came from.
With gratitude
Thank you for the PDF. For scanning it sideways. For the search box that forgets me every eleven minutes, and for the export that returns the first fifty rows.
Thank you for disclosing in August what was traded in November, and for the enforcement that followed.
Thank you for the login. Requiring one was prohibited for a year, and the prohibition was repealed.
Thank you for the fee. Two hundred dollars, waivable, assessed per report rather than per trade.
I’d have had nothing to build without you.
The desk is reader-funded.
