Follow the money — stock trades, lobbying, earmarks, federal funding, and financial disclosures
Seven industry groups that reported money last quarter—like Agriculture & Food and Real Estate & Housing—show zero reported spending and no registrants this quarter. That is a huge swing in who is reporting lobbying money and could hide shifts in influence or reporting timing.
Spot the biggest spikes, then switch between total funding, officials, industries, and countries.

More than a thousand foreign-linked groups show up in lobbying records this period, and they disclosed $8.7 million in contributions from 79 different countries. That scale matters because it shows how many outside actors report spending to influence U.S. policy.
A large group of ex-officials — 44 in total — have moved into lobbying work this period. That matters because former lawmakers often keep close ties and access that can affect policy wins.
STATE OF LOC NATION GLOBAL PUBLIC BENEFIT CORPORATION reported $180.0 million in total spending. That is larger than the Chamber of Commerce ($90M) and the National Association of Realtors ($69.6M) combined, so this single client dominates the top of the list.
Lobbying records list nearly 150,000 contribution items totaling $421.7 million. Those totals show the broad scale of money tied to lobbying activity this period.
