About Internal Politics
Internal Politics is a document-grounded publication covering the hearings, investigations, and communications that shape American political life. Every quote we publish is verified against primary-source records before publication.
Our sources are public congressional testimony, court filings, FOIA releases, inspector general reports, and other official records. We do not aggregate from news reports or secondary sources. When you read a quote on Internal Politics, you can trace it to the exact document, page, and source it came from.
The publication is modeled on the format pioneered by Internal Tech Emails: a chronological walk through the communications that tell the real story, using the participants' own words.
Editorial standards
- Every quoted line is verified character-for-character against the source document by a human editor.
- We never paraphrase, clean up, or generate quotes.
- Every post links to the source document.
- We do not accept payment for coverage.
