The Congressional Times · June 21, 2026

The Congressional Times reviewed five items submitted for potential publication on June 21, 2026. None qualify under the publication's strict editorial scope.

Item 1 (NY Post): Concerns NBA player Mitchell Robinson and the New York Knicks championship parade. Sports content falls outside this publication's scope regardless of geographic proximity to federal institutions.

Item 2 (NY Post): Concerns Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Blake Treinen's placement on the injured list. Sports content is expressly excluded from this publication's coverage mandate.

Item 3 (NBC News, Spanish-language): Concerns Ecuador's performance in the FIFA World Cup and Antonio Valencia's reaction. Foreign sports content without direct US governance impact is outside scope.

Item 4 (NY Post, Michael Goodwin column): While it references the Trump administration and US-Iran and US-Israel foreign policy dynamics, the submitted excerpt is an opinion column attributed to a named columnist, not a primary source document such as a court filing, FEC record, LDA lobbying disclosure, USASpending entry, or verified primary news report. No specific public record is cited in the provided excerpt to anchor factual claims per editorial rules. Publication would require sourced primary documentation — such as a State Department record, congressional hearing transcript, or verified executive communication — before a news story can be constructed.

Item 5 (NBC News, Spanish-language): Concerns Curazao's performance in the FIFA World Cup. Foreign sports content without direct US governance impact is outside scope.

What would change this determination: Submission of primary source documents — including but not limited to State Department cables, congressional correspondence, executive branch records, or verified US federal filings — related to the US-Iran agreement or US-Israel policy referenced in Item 4 would allow a compliant story to be written.

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.
