Editorial Notice

None of the Five Source Items Fall Within Editorial Scope

All provided source materials concern entertainment, crime, natural disaster, social media content, or foreign politics — none qualify under The Congressional Times' strict US governance mandate.

The Congressional Times · June 24, 2026

The five source items submitted for this editorial cycle do not meet the publication's defined scope of coverage. The first item concerns a television performer's compensation from a 2000 entertainment production — not US governance. The second item concerns a local criminal matter in Mechanicville, New York, handled by municipal police — not a federal legislative, regulatory, or judicial proceeding. The third item concerns a seismic event measured by the United States Geological Survey; while the USGS is a federal agency, the source material contains no information about congressional appropriations, agency policy, legislative response, or federal disaster declarations that would constitute a reportable governance story under this publication's standards. The fourth item concerns a social media content creator operating outside the United States — not US governance. The fifth item concerns the legislative body of the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil — foreign politics with no documented direct US impact presented in the source material.

No story has been published from this batch. What would make several of these items publishable: a formal FEMA major disaster declaration (available at fema.gov/disaster-declarations) tied to the California earthquake; a congressional hearing or federal investigation linked to the New York deaths; or a documented US federal nexus to any of the remaining items. The Congressional Times will publish a story from this intelligence batch when source material containing a verifiable US governance record is submitted.

We Follow the Data, Not the Narrative

The Congressional Times exists because public records are public — and the analysis built from them should not be exclusive to those who can afford $60,000-a-year intelligence subscriptions.

Every story published in The Congressional Times is sourced to a verifiable public record: a court filing, a Senate lobbying disclosure, an FEC contribution record, a USASpending contract, or a verified news report. We state our sources inline. We show our math. When we are wrong, we say so publicly.

We do not editorialize in news coverage. We do not use loaded language. Both political parties are held to identical standards.

The Follow the Money investigations are the heart of this publication. Each begins with Gab-E Political Intelligence running against 10+ million government records before a single word of editorial is written.

How We Source, Verify, and Correct Our Work

Every factual claim in a Congressional Times story is checked against a primary source: a government filing, a court record, a direct quote, before publication. When a claim can't be verified or doesn't hold up as originally reported, we drop it or reframe it. We do not publish disputed claims as settled fact.

When we get it wrong: we correct the story directly, note the correction and date at the bottom of the piece, and update the record. We do not quietly edit and move on.

Bylines: stories with a named byline are written and fact-checked by that person. Stories without a byline are sourced from Gab-E Political Intelligence, our automated research platform, and are labeled as such.

Ownership: The Congressional Times is published by Gab-E Holdings LLC. Gab-E, our intelligence platform, powers our sourcing and research pipeline.
