Editorial Notice

No Viable Source Material Meets Editorial Standards for Publication

None of the submitted intelligence items fall within The Congressional Times' defined editorial scope of US politics, federal governance, campaign finance, lobbying, or economic policy.

The Congressional Times · June 9, 2026

The Congressional Times editorial engine reviewed five source items submitted for the June 9, 2026 publication cycle. None of the items meet the publication's strict editorial scope requirements.

The first item, sourced from nypost.com, concerns a celebrity parenting dispute involving Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt. This is an entertainment and celebrity news matter with no connection to US governance, federal agencies, Congress, or any other qualifying subject area.

The remaining four items, sourced from realclearpolitics.com, consist of opinion commentary pieces addressing foreign policy opinion, literary analysis of Thomas Jefferson's writing, a speculative political commentary on California Democratic leadership, and a promotional travel item from a media organization. None of these items contain verifiable primary-source data — court filings, LDA lobbying disclosures, FEC filings, USASpending records, congressional votes, or verified news reports — sufficient to meet the publication's sourcing standard for a news story.

Under the publication's editorial rules, opinion commentary pieces do not qualify as source material for news reporting, and no story may be constructed from speculative or unsourced claims. Items touching on foreign affairs qualify only when a direct, documented impact on US governance or US federal policy can be established from a named public record. No such record was provided in this submission cycle.

What remains unknown is whether any of these topics have an underlying US federal policy dimension that a public record — such as a State Department filing, a congressional hearing transcript, or an FEC disclosure — would document. If such records are submitted, The Congressional Times will evaluate them under standard editorial criteria.

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.
