Look for the topic(s) that you’re most interested in, which are listed alphabetically, and click on that link for more information/factual ammunition for your meetings or other communication with your Republican Senators and Representative. If you know of other similar resources, please add them in the Comments. I’ve included a brief description of the organization if I thought it might not be well-known and wasn’t immediately obvious from the name, but if there are others you’re unsure of, you can always go to the main organization, and click on “About Us” or similar heading. This is also just a start of a list of trackers for the destruction of our federal government, inhumanity, and corruption of this administration.

https://campaignlegal.org/document/tracking-trump-administrations-most-corrupt-transactions
Campaign Legal Center (CLC): “CLC is a nonpartisan legal organization dedicated to solving the wide range of challenges facing American democracy.” CLC has “a tracking resource analyzing the most egregious cases where President Donald Trump’s administration has corruptly provided major donors and supporters — including ultra-wealthy individuals, corporations and special interests — with official benefits, including Cabinet and executive branch positions, ambassadorships, pardons and commutations, dropped investigations or enforcement actions, corporate-friendly policies and perks, and even foreign policy actions.”
EXECUTIVE BRANCH APPOINTEES: Revolving Door Project, LINK:
https://therevolvingdoorproject.org/search?issue=trumpwatch
“The Revolving Door Project (RDP) was created to scrutinize executive branch appointees to ensure they use their office to serve the broad public interest, rather than to entrench corporate power or seek personal advancement. In recent years our work has expanded to include monitoring how corporate and billionaire influence distorts coverage of economic issues in the media, the interpretation of law in our courts, and policymaking by various state constitutional officers. RDP pays particular attention to the more subtle forms of political influence beyond direct lobbying and spending. Corporate America distorts politics through money in ways both overt and covert. Our goal is to help fill the vacuum of knowledge about all the ways in which money corrupts politics that otherwise evade scrutiny, and counteract the advantage that corporations have in the political process.” Revolving Door Project: Originally created by the Center for Economic and Policy Research think tank in Washington, D.C., whose factual reporting is rated as High by independent media watchdogs, but currently sponsored by Goodnation Corporation, which connects donors and responsible and responsive nonprofits, because, as they state: “Giving is an important first step; creating impact with that gift is the hard part.” https://therevolvingdoorproject.org/about-us/

Joyce Vance was a lawyer with the Justice Department for 25 years, with President Obama appointing her a federal judge as her last DOJ position.
