Left Sentinel: an early-warning desk for political ad buys

leftsentinel.com Observed source
Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A beta monitoring service that tracks broadcast, cable, radio, digital political ads, and independent-expenditure filings for campaign teams.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-06 issue.

Field notes

The page separates a one-race Tracker from an invitation-only War Room. Tracker users are promised a daily digest, alerts for unfamiliar sponsors, and links to each public source; the larger version adds analyst memos, a claim ledger, media-market views, exports, and campaign workspaces. The listed record types span FCC political orders, digital ad libraries from Meta, Google, and Snap, federal independent expenditures, and state disclosures. The site says Kansas is its first 2026 focus, but the homepage does not show an actual monitored race or alert.
