Editorial Notice

None of the five source items fall within The Congressional Times editorial scope

All five provided intelligence items concern Brazilian domestic politics, Brazilian law enforcement, Brazilian state-owned enterprises, Brazilian literature, or Brazilian electoral races — none of...

The Congressional Times · June 14, 2026

The editorial guidelines of The Congressional Times restrict coverage strictly to United States governance and policy. The five source items provided on June 14, 2026 each originate from Folha de S.Paulo and address the following subjects: (1) a public dispute between Brazil's First Lady Janja da Silva and Pastor Silas Malafaia over evangelical women affiliated with Brazil's Workers' Party (PT); (2) arrests of former São Paulo state law-enforcement personnel allegedly linked to the Primeiro Comando da Capital criminal organization; (3) a reported 52.5 percent increase in sponsorship contracts by Brazilian state-owned enterprises under President Lula's government, totaling R$1.6 billion in 2025 per Folha de S.Paulo; (4) a biography of Brazilian publisher Fernando Gasparian; and (5) a Brazilian Senate race in Santa Catarina between Senator Esperidião Amin (PP-SC) and Carlos Bolsonaro (PL).

None of these items carry a direct, documentable impact on US federal law, US congressional action, US agency rulemaking, US campaign finance filings, or US court proceedings. Publishing a story based on this material would violate the publication's core scope restriction.

What would resolve this: Editors should supply source material drawn from US public records — including FEC filings, LDA lobbying disclosures, USASpending.gov contracts, congressional roll-call votes, federal court dockets, or verified US news reports — before a compliant story can be generated.

No story has been published. This response serves as a transparent editorial record explaining why no output was produced, consistent with the publication's commitment to corrections and transparency.

We Follow the Data, Not the Narrative

The Congressional Times exists because public records are public — and the analysis built from them should not be exclusive to those who can afford $60,000-a-year intelligence subscriptions.

Every story published in The Congressional Times is sourced to a verifiable public record: a court filing, a Senate lobbying disclosure, an FEC contribution record, a USASpending contract, or a verified news report. We state our sources inline. We show our math. When we are wrong, we say so publicly.

We do not editorialize in news coverage. We do not use loaded language. Both political parties are held to identical standards.

The Follow the Money investigations are the heart of this publication. Each begins with Gab-E Political Intelligence running against 10+ million government records before a single word of editorial is written.

How We Source, Verify, and Correct Our Work

Every factual claim in a Congressional Times story is checked against a primary source: a government filing, a court record, a direct quote, before publication. When a claim can't be verified or doesn't hold up as originally reported, we drop it or reframe it. We do not publish disputed claims as settled fact.

When we get it wrong: we correct the story directly, note the correction and date at the bottom of the piece, and update the record. We do not quietly edit and move on.

Bylines: stories with a named byline are written and fact-checked by that person. Stories without a byline are sourced from Gab-E Political Intelligence, our automated research platform, and are labeled as such.

Ownership: The Congressional Times is published by Gab-E Holdings LLC. Gab-E, our intelligence platform, powers our sourcing and research pipeline.
