Operation Citizen

A real-time accountability scorecard for all 535 voting members of the 119th Congress (538 seated, counting non-voting delegates). Every senator and representative is scored on five dimensions of institutional accountability — Finance, Term, Health, Insider, and Steward — producing a composite score from 0 to 100 and a letter grade from A to F.

​

The grade measures one thing: how well a member's incentive structure aligns with constituent service rather than capital service. Members above 65% corporate PAC funding score F on Finance; members under 30% score A. Members serving more than 35 years score below 50 on Term. Every late STOCK Act filing costs 2 points on Insider; notable trading activity costs 20.

​

Search by name, state, or district. Sort by any dimension — sorting by Finance shows who is most and least dependent on corporate PAC money. Click a member to see their full profile: composite score, all five sub-scores, top donor industries, committee assignments, and STOCK Act record.

​

This is not a voting guide. It does not score ideology, party, or policy positions. It measures the financial and institutional pressures shaping behavior — not whether that behavior is right or wrong.

A committee-level transparency instrument measuring how much of Congress's most powerful committees are funded by the industries they regulate. The current build scores 27 committees and tracks 63 bills.

​

Every major committee receives a Capture Rating from 0 to 100: 0–30 is low capture, 31–55 moderate, 56–75 high, and 76–100 critical, meaning the committee is substantially funded by the industry it's supposed to oversee. A tracked bill register shows, for every bill moving through a captured committee, the assigned committee's rating, its top funding sectors, and the posterity question: in twenty years, who will have benefited from this bill, and who will have paid?

​

Browse committees ranked highest to lowest by capture. Click through to see individual members, their Finance scores, and their top donor industries. Red flags mark members with notable STOCK Act trading activity on bills their committee is considering.

​

This tool does not allege corruption. It documents funding relationships and asks the question a forensic accountant would ask.

A state-by-state record of the federal government's withdrawal from services it has historically provided, mapped across seven domains: Healthcare, Education, Housing & Food, Energy & Grid, Retirement, Institutional Capacity, and Information. Each domain carries a severity rating and a headline fact — a $1.02 trillion Medicaid cut leaving 11.8 million people without coverage; a 50% workforce reduction at the Department of Education; a 75% cut to the Grid Deployment Office against a 2,600-gigawatt project backlog.

​

Every state is classified by its response: Extractionist (has the capacity to respond, isn't deploying it), Systemic Passive (has resources, isn't proactive), Active Steward (building state-level capacity to backfill the federal gap), or Survivalism (can't self-fund a response at all).

​

Click any state to open its full report: the premium impact of the changes, its fiscal posture and reserve fund, which members of its congressional delegation are departing, its single most under-addressed issue, and a plain-language verdict.

​

This tool does not argue that federal withdrawal is good or bad policy. It documents what changed and what the measurable consequences are, sourced from CBO projections, state budget offices, and federal agency records.

The state-level companion to the Federal Decoupling Map: the same withdrawal, seen from inside each state. Where the Federal Decoupling Map shows the national pattern, the Decoupling Record shows what each state has actually absorbed, and what it hasn't.

​

Open with the Brief, which frames the whole instrument across four panels: the Federal Ledger (ten line items on what was divested and where it went), the Three Mechanisms (Statutory Elimination, Cost-Share Reallocation, and Capacity Collapse — how federal services actually get removed), the Five Exposures (the structural consequences: Federal Dependence, Workforce Recruitment Disparity, Fiscal Capacity Erosion, Wealth Sorting, and Uneven Citizenship), and the Posture Framework that classifies each state.

​

Then select your state. Each record includes the federal posture toward that state, how the state has responded, the named consequences for its citizens, and a verdict. Compare to a neighboring state — the difference in response between two states facing the identical federal withdrawal is one of the most revealing patterns in the entire platform.

A scorecard for members leaving the 119th Congress — not just who is departing, but what institutional power leaves with them. When a twenty-year committee chair with deep industry funding relationships departs, the replacement doesn't inherit their seniority, and the same industries that funded the departing chair often fund whoever replaces them.

​

Every departure is scored on four inputs — Seniority, Committee Power, Donor Concentration, and Revolving Door Risk — producing a Replacement Event Index from Normal (routine turnover) through Moderate, High, up to Structural (a long-term gap in institutional capacity). As of the most recent release, 25 of the 66 departures this Congress are scored at full depth, with the rest being added on a rolling basis.

​

Filter by state or chamber to see who's leaving your delegation. Each scored member has a full breakdown of their four inputs, cross-referenced to their Citizens' League Scorecard profile.

A bill-by-bill register of the 119th Congress. Every tracked bill — 63 at full depth — is classified as citizen-serving or capital-serving based on its legislative text, CBO scoring where available, and the population it actually serves. Classification isn't about which party introduced a bill; both kinds of bills come from both parties.

​

Every entry shows the bill number and title, its sponsor and lead co-sponsors, its assigned committee (linked to that committee's Capture Rating), its current status — moving, stalled, voted, enacted, vetoed — and a one-paragraph rationale for its classification. Filter by classification to see only citizen-serving or only capital-serving bills. Filter by committee to see which committees are producing which kind. Open any bill for its full rationale, sourcing, and the voting record of members who acted on it.

​

This is not a vote-prediction tool, and it doesn't evaluate whether a bill is well-drafted, only who it serves.

A thirteen-node interactive map of exactly what happens to a bill after it's introduced in Congress — where it moves, where it stalls, and why. Of 14,730 bills introduced in the 119th Congress, only 65 were enacted directly. Less than half of one percent.

​

Walk the diagram from introduction to enactment or death. Each node shows exactly how many bills reached that point — the shrinkage is dramatic. Hover any node to see the mechanism: what has to happen for a bill to clear it, and who controls that decision. A side panel shows the Capture Pattern directly: a citizen-serving bill (H.R. 628) that sat in committee for 377 days, against a capital-serving resolution (H.J.Res. 35) that moved in 38 days and was enacted — same Congress, same rules, different sponsors, different outcomes.

​

The Citizens' League Scorecard measures how members vote. But most bills never reach a vote at all. This is the tool that shows what happens before that: the committee burial, the scheduling block, the cloture failure. The legislative process isn't broken. It's working exactly as the people who control it intend.

One map, five lenses — privatization, industry, Project 2025, private funds, and federal contractors. Each lens asks the same question a different way: where is government power actually being exercised, and for whom?

Every row runs the same arc — a public function or dollar, the private interest that captures it, the venue where it happens, and the amount: from $755 billion a year in federal contracts, to a 1,814-to-1 return on a dollar of oil-and-gas campaign spending, to the roughly $4.7 trillion the six largest funds control.

It shows what the other tools show one brick at a time — the whole wall.
