Fifteen industries that together reported millions last quarter now show $0 in this filing period. That sudden drop is unusual and could hide big shifts in who is trying to influence lawmakers right now.
More than 1,500 foreign-linked groups reported $9.4 million in contributions from 83 countries. That shows a lot of international money is still tied to U.S. lobbying activity.
Spot the biggest spikes, then switch between total funding, officials, industries, and countries.

Fifty-nine former elected officials appear on lobbying filings this period. Former lawmakers bring inside contacts, so their switch to lobbying can change who gets access in Washington.
STATE OF LOC NATION reported $220 million across 13 filings, far more than the U.S. Chamber’s $126.7 million. One group's outsized spending can shape which issues get the most attention in Congress.
Lobbying filings this period list 26,521 reports and $909.1 million in expenses, which exceeds reported income by about $80.5 million. That gap can mean delayed reporting, accounting shifts, or spending that outpaced declared income.
