I have spent the last few months redirecting the energy being created by my PTSD into something more productive - government accountability and transparency specially, Congress.

As a former congressional staffer and currently unemployed federal strategic comms and political operative - I have a lot of institutional knowledge that just lives in my head. For example - do you know where the wood working workshop is in the basement of the Capitol? What about how to inquire on behalf of a member of Congress about arranging an interpreter for and to sit with for their guest at the State of the Union. What about pulling together a verbal and written briefing in a secure location for a member of Congress on a topic they want to learn about and you know nothing about? Or how to escort a recognizable celebrity through the halls of Congress who you were just informed is having lunch with your boss?

These are all things that just live in my head, years of institutional knowledge that just lives there and is not being used because of the state of our government. So I decided to do something about it…….

I started building a dashboard that (for the sake of my sanity at the moment) uses the power of AI, to bring together what I’m calling ‘Article One’ (after Article One of the Constitution)

**Article One is a Claude AI powered dashboard** that pulls together basically all the information you’ve ever wanted to know about a member of Congress + who they represent + how they got there (the campaign) + their job performance in Congress + deep dives into how they are using the money that’s donated to them + how they are using the tax dollars they get to run their office.

It’s all powered by a team of agents and subagents.

This is not about politics. This is about the American People. These are your elected officials and you deserve to know what they are doing - in a way that is firmly based in facts and reality.

📸RE the pictures: please note that this was the first time I had run the dashboard build prompt. I’m fairly confident in the numbers though I have blacked out ones I haven’t audited yet.

Best way to support what I’m doing is to buy me a coffee

I’m personally a big fan of the nutrition card! Such a cool and fun way to display the data! Would love to know what everyone thinks, any feedback or ideas? 🫰🏼🇺🇸🥴
