Sources of Government Information:
All government data, statistics, and records displayed on this app are aggregated directly from official, public federal sources, including:

- FOIA.gov - Freedom of Information Act
- FEC.gov - Federal Election Commission
- Federal Register (federalregister.gov) - Official journal of the federal government
GovWatch is an independent government transparency platform designed to help citizens, researchers, journalists, and policy analysts track the actions of the United States federal government in real time. We aggregate, categorize, and contextualize executive orders, congressional actions, agency decisions, judicial rulings, and oversight investigations — making complex government activity accessible and searchable in one place.
Every entry in our live feed and historical archive is tagged by domain, concern level, and fact-check status. Legal implications are surfaced alongside primary source links so readers can go deeper than the headline. Our contractor monitoring tools cross-reference SAM.gov exclusion data with USAspending.gov award disbursements, helping expose debarred entities that continue to receive federal contracts.
GovWatch is built for people who believe informed citizens are the foundation of a functioning democracy. Whether you are a journalist investigating procurement fraud, a researcher tracking policy shifts across administrations, or a curious citizen who wants to understand what their government is actually doing — this platform is for you.
The platform is developed and maintained by an independent team of technologists and civic technologists committed to open government data. We rely on public APIs including SAM.gov, USAspending.gov, the FTC Consumer Sentinel Network, and official federal register sources. No content is paywalled. GovWatch is not affiliated with any political party or government agency.
