The standards behind every item in Capitol Math, from primary records to the source ledger.
Legislation, court filings, official data, transcripts, agency notices, and direct government documents anchor claims whenever available.
Lead stories use at least two independent news organizations. Multiple republications of the same wire story count as one source.
Quick hits are spread across publishers. Normally no more than two links come from one publisher.
A post establishes only what the named account posted, not that the underlying claim is true.
Every edition lists the sources supporting each item with direct links.
We label what is preliminary, timestamp the edition in Central Time, and update the web version as verified facts change without resending the same edition.
We investigate reported errors and mark material corrections clearly.
