Good data empowers the public, informs business decisions, and strengthens democratic accountability. It enables communities, journalists, researchers, and policymakers to engage with facts—not speculation—and to act with clarity. This page consolidates links from other sites working to build and make data available in three key areas:
We curated these lists to consolidate key resources that document and interpret rapid changes across the Federal Government. The proliferation of trackers, data, and analysis is encouraging, but overwhelming. By creating a more coherent information ecosystem, we aim to enhance transparency, build efficiencies, and facilitate deeper understanding of the broader picture. If you know of sites missing from our lists, please send suggestions to admin@for250more.org so we can continue to build a more complete and accessible set of resources.
Useful Federal Government Data Sites
Transparent, reliable public data is a strategic asset. Federal Government data is indispensable in understanding the trends and conditions shaping our society: from fiscal health and demographic shifts to federal program spending and economic indicators. Such understanding reduces uncertainty and enables better decisions.
How much does the government spend on community development? What are the top 5 categories of Federal spending? What programs support agriculture? The Federal Program Inventory's data provides insights on questions such as these.
What states received the most pandemic relief funding? How many children received free lunches? How did people misuse pandemic recovery money? The Pandemic Recovery Accountability Committee provides data and insights on pandemic and other federal spending.
How much does the Government spend? What is the national deficit? What are sources of Federal revenue? The Treasury Department's data on revenue, spending, the deficit, and debt answers these and other questions about Federal revenue and expenses.
What other datasets does the Federal government maintain? What information do they have on my areas of interest? Data.gov provides links to more than 352,000 data sets maintained by the Federal Government.
The U.S. Census is much more than a count of people. The Bureau's data can help answer questions about the economic and demographic impact of floods, trends in the "gig economy," and how data center growth is reshaping local economies.
This Federal Depository Library archives government documents, national security information, several individual agency websites, and a wealth of other governmental and nongovernmental information.

Impacts of Federal Funding Cuts,
Mass Firings, and Data Constriction
Existing and new groups are partnering to collect stories from federal (and former federal) workers, contractors, grantees, academics, and members of the public impacted by cuts to federal funding, federal agencies and workforces, and federal programs. We list some of these groups below where you can share your story and information about the impact on you.
