ABOUT
The fastest read on federal spending
Approps exists to answer one question in under a minute: where does federal appropriations funding actually stand? Twelve bills fund the government every year, and following them means reading committee notices, floor schedules, and disclosure tables spread across a dozen official sites. This site does that reading for you and puts the answer on one page.
It is run by a federal appropriations expert who works with this process professionally. It is non-partisan by rule: the site reports where bills are, what they contain, and when things are scheduled. It does not argue for or against any of it.
How statuses are verified
Every stage on the tracker is checked against primary sources before it changes: the CRS Appropriations Status Table, congress.gov, and the House and Senate Appropriations Committee schedules. Reporters' posts are treated as signals, never as proof. When something cannot be confirmed, it is marked unconfirmed rather than shown as fact.
Earmark records come exclusively from the committees' official disclosure tables, row by row, and every project on the map links to the official document its amount appears in. Calendar events carry the official notice they came from. The feed only quotes posts from a fixed list of committees and beat reporters, verified word for word.
The site updates through the day, every day. The timestamp in the footer is real: it reflects the last time content actually changed.
Non-partisan, plain, and fast · Corrections: hold us to it
