Sources

Sources.

These are the records the dossiers and investigations are built out of. On the pages themselves, a claim carries its source link in the same line the claim appears in.

  • Idaho SOS Sunshine Tier 1

    Every Idaho PAC and candidate finance filing lands here. It is the state record, and it settles most money questions on its own.

  • FEC (Federal Election Commission) Tier 1

    Federal campaign finance filings. It comes into play when a subject turns up around a federal candidate, committee, or PAC.

  • LegiScan (Idaho Legislature) Tier 1

    Every Idaho bill, vote, sponsor, and committee record. When somebody quotes a legislator’s voting record, this is what the quote gets checked against.

  • CourtListener / PACER Tier 1

    Dockets, filings, and orders out of the federal courts and selected state courts.

  • OpenCorporates Tier 1

    Business entity records, down to registration dates, officers, and agent filings.

  • OpenSanctions Tier 1

    A sanctions and politically-exposed-person database. It gets checked where a subject has international exposure.

  • WHOIS + DNS History Tier 1

    Historical domain registration data. Registration records are how propaganda-network sites get tied back to each other.

  • Internet Archive (Wayback Machine) Tier 1

    Archived snapshots of propaganda-network publications. A deleted post is still a post if somebody captured it first.

  • TruthFinder reports Tier 3

    Public-records aggregation covering addresses, relatives, and associates.

  • Idaho Statesman Tier 2

    Idaho’s largest daily newspaper. Citations to it carry the byline and the publication date.

  • Idaho Capital Sun Tier 2

    A state-focused nonprofit newsroom and a States Newsroom member, with a strong track record covering Idaho politics.

  • InvestigateWest Tier 2

    Regional investigative nonprofit whose Idaho extremism reporting includes the State Freedom Caucus Network exposé.

  • Idaho Press Tier 2

    The Treasure Valley daily. Good on local politics.

Propaganda-network publications.

Honor Idaho, Idaho Dispatch, Stop Idaho RINOs, Pocatello-Chubbuck Observer, Gem State Chronicle, and The Daily Dispatch are documented as coordinated propaganda-network infrastructure rather than as journalism. The Manufacturing a Martyr investigation has the full documentation. See also the propaganda network organization page.

Reporters filing a story can find republication terms on the press page.
