Editorial Notice

None of the Provided Sources Fall Within Editorial Scope

The Congressional Times covers U.S. governance, federal policy, congressional activity, campaign finance, and U.S. courts — none of the submitted intelligence items meet that threshold.

The Congressional Times · June 9, 2026

The Congressional Times was unable to produce a publishable news story from the source material provided on June 9, 2026.

A review of each item against the publication's strict editorial scope found the following: (1) The Brazilian court ruling involving a post about President Lula's grandson is a foreign legal matter with no identified direct nexus to U.S. governance, U.S. federal law, or U.S. foreign policy action — no U.S. congressional record, executive order, or federal agency action was cited in the source. (2) The retirement of NFL player Joel Bitonio is a sports story explicitly excluded from this publication's scope under its founding editorial rules. (3) The BBC report on proposed United Kingdom legislation concerning Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps involves foreign parliamentary action; while IRGC designation is also a U.S. policy matter, the source describes UK law only and contains no U.S. legislative, executive, or judicial record to report against. (4) The Ohio festival shooting report involves a state and local law enforcement matter with no identified federal legislative, regulatory, or congressional dimension cited in the source. (5) The Nick Reiner trust fund petition is a private civil legal matter involving no identified federal official, federal agency, federal legislation, or U.S. election finance record.

The Congressional Times does not publish stories outside its defined scope — U.S. Congress, U.S. federal agencies, U.S. courts, U.S. campaign finance, U.S. lobbying, the White House, U.S. elections, and U.S. economic policy — regardless of newsworthiness in other contexts.

What would change this outcome: If any of the above stories develops a documented U.S. federal dimension — such as a congressional hearing record, a federal court filing, a White House statement entered into the public record, or an FEC or LDA filing — The Congressional Times will evaluate that updated sourcing against its editorial standards and publish accordingly.

Submitters are encouraged to provide source material drawn from congressional records (congress.gov), federal court PACER filings, FEC disclosures (fec.gov), LDA lobbying filings (lda.senate.gov), USASpending.gov contract records, or verified reporting directly tied to U.S. federal governance.

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.
