Field notes
The dashboard separates independent expenditures from PAC and committee contributions to candidates, and describes how corporate PAC checks are grouped by sponsoring industry. Its filing feed offers 48-hour, 7-day, and 14-day windows, with controls to limit results to ads, mail, texts, and production. The fact-check section covers 35 high-spending races; its caveat says an empty entry means no published check was found, not that the ads were clean.
