What Washington is actually doing

thoth. is policy intelligence for people who want to know what their government is actually doing — not what a press release says it is doing.

Every day, the federal government publishes hundreds of rules, notices, and proposals that quietly reshape how the country works — who gets funded, what gets banned, which industries are regulated, and how your money is spent. Almost none of it makes the news, and what does is usually filtered through spin.

thoth. exists to close that gap. We read the primary record so you do not have to, translate it into plain language, and deliver it to you as it happens. No talking heads, no partisan filter — just a clear view of what your government is doing, updated around the clock.

What we stand for

Plain language

Federal rules are written for lawyers and lobbyists. thoth. translates every filing into clear English so you can understand what a policy actually does without a law degree.

No spin

We report what the government published, sourced directly from the primary record. No editorializing, no partisan framing — just the document and what it means for you.

Updated hourly

Policy does not wait, and neither do we. thoth. pulls live from the Federal Register and other official sources every hour so you are never reading yesterday’s news.

Who built it

thoth. was built by Spencer Moss — an independent project born from a simple frustration: it should not take a specialist to find out what the government is doing in your name. It is not affiliated with any government agency, party, or campaign.
