How to read this page

Each lens is a question — "who's paying whom?", "who's lobbying on what?". Records that share the same two actors are collapsed into one storyline so you can see the pattern instead of one row per receipt. A storyline is cited when its records link back to a specific filing on FEC, LDA, Congress.gov, or USAspending. The leaderboards rank actors by dollar total when money is involved, otherwise by record count. None of this, by itself, proves wrongdoing — but it shows you the receipts.
