Today on Politics is a publication about American politics and the people who shaped it. We explain how government works, check the claims and myths that get repeated about it, and profile the presidents, first ladies, mayors and activists whose decisions still shape public life.
What we cover
Most of our stories are numbered lists: a set number of facts, people or moments, each explained in a few short paragraphs. The library is organized in three sections.
- US Politics: elections, the Electoral College, laws that are still on the books, presidential history and the institutions behind the headlines.
- Reality Check: the stories behind popular claims, myths and half-remembered facts about government, checked against the public record.
- Politicians: profiles of the people in American political life, past and present, from founding figures to modern officeholders.
Non-partisan by design
We are not affiliated with any party, campaign, candidate, political action committee or government body, and we do not accept payment to cover or avoid a subject. We write about Republicans and Democrats, presidents and their critics, with the same standard: describe what happened, attribute opinions to the people who hold them, and link to the record so readers can judge for themselves.
How our stories are made
Our stories are written with AI assistance and reviewed by our editorial team before they are published. We use AI tools to research, outline and draft; editors then check names, dates, figures and quotes against primary and reputable sources, and rewrite anything that is unclear or unsupported. Our Editorial Policy explains the process and how we correct mistakes.
Who we are
Today on Politics is written by a small editorial team rather than individual bylined authors, which is why stories are credited to the Today on Politics Editorial Team. The site is published by Inedit Agency S.R.L., a digital publisher based in Bucharest, Romania, which also runs several other independent information sites.
