Follow the money — stock trades, lobbying, earmarks, federal funding, and financial disclosures
Seven sectors that reported activity last quarter show $0 in reported lobbying this quarter. That’s a dramatic stop in visible spending and may mean groups paused lobbying, shifted firms, or changed reporting. Watch these industries for sudden returns or reporting gaps.
Spot the biggest spikes, then switch between total funding, officials, industries, and countries.

Over a thousand foreign-linked entities appear in filings, reporting $7.2 million tied to 78 countries. That shows lobbying with foreign ties remains large in reach, even if dollar amounts are smaller than some domestic spenders. This matters for transparency about outside influence on U.S. policy.
Forty-four former elected officials moved into lobbying roles this period. Former lawmakers bring contacts and knowledge that can speed access for clients. Examples on the list include Spencer Abraham and Richard Burr.
Financial Services reported $20K last quarter but only $41 this quarter, and just one registrant. That near-total collapse suggests big clients paused or shifted how they report. It may hide real activity or show fast consolidation in who is doing the lobbying.
STATE OF LOC NATION GLOBAL PUBLIC BENEFIT CORPORATION reported $180 million in filings, about twice the $90 million reported by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Large gaps like this show a few clients can dominate lobbying dollars in a period. Check filings to see what issues those big dollars tracked.
