Free widgets you can embed

Two live widgets, free to use anywhere, with no script tag, no tracking, and nothing required of you beyond leaving the link the card already carries. Both update themselves from the same verified record the rest of this site runs on.

1 · The shutdown countdown

Counts down to the funding deadline, currently Sep 30, 2026, and ticks in the reader's browser, so a cached page never shows a stale number. After a lapse it flips to the day count of the shutdown.

2 · Your state's earmarks

What your state actually received: the enacted FY2026 total and project count, plus what is pending in the FY2027 bills. Pick a state and copy the snippet. The numbers come from the same 8,311 verified records, $15.49B in all, behind the map.

Terms, in one paragraph

Use them anywhere, commercial or not, no permission needed and no cost. Do not alter the numbers or strip the link. The widgets set no cookies and collect nothing about your readers. The data behind them is refreshed several times a day, so an embed placed today keeps telling the truth in December.

Citing the data

Every figure on this site traces to a primary congressional document, and every record links to the one it came from. If you are quoting a number in a story, this is the citation format:

Approps, "Earmarks by state," approps.ai/earmarks, accessed [date].

Reporters working on a deadline: the bill tracker, the state by state map, and every member's page are all free, with no login and no paywall.
