Balanced political news, by design

The same story, told three ways. Then you decide.

We collect coverage of every major political story from across the spectrum, synthesize a neutral summary, and surface the framing differences — so you see what was said, what was emphasized, and what was left out.

Why we built it

News tells you what to think before it tells you what happened.

Most outlets bury the facts under their framing. We don't ask you to pick a side — we ask you to see what every side actually said, and what every side left out.

Across the spectrum

Every story is built from outlets we explicitly label left, right, and center. No single source, ever.

Neutral by construction

Each summary is an AI synthesis with a clear audit trail. We show our sources, every time.

Reader-checked

Readers rate the framing of every story. The community keeps us — and the outlets — accountable.

The Feed: what's happening, in three lenses.

Every story you'd read elsewhere — but with the neutral synthesis on top, and the left and right framings sitting side-by-side underneath. Read both sides in the time it takes to read one.

  • Neutral synthesis first. The facts everyone agrees on, with sources cited.
  • Left and right lenses. See what each side is emphasizing — and ignoring.
  • Reader ratings on every story so you know how the community read it.

  • Reader rating history so you can see which framings aged well.
  • Side-by-side comparison with sources you can read at the originals.

The Figures: where they stand, and whether they kept their word.

Every federal political figure gets a profile — their stated positions, their actual votes, and the donors behind them. We flag when actions match what they said, and when they didn’t.

  • Stated positions on every major issue, with citations.
  • Aligned / strayed / mixed tags on every action they take.
  • Donor and industry funding alongside the record.

Every rating teaches our AI.

When you rate a story's framing, you're not just having your say — you're calibrating the system. The community's ratings aggregate into source-level signal that adjusts how our AI weighs every outlet over time.

  • Vote on every story's framing — left, center, or right — in one tap.
  • Ratings aggregate into source-level signal. If readers consistently see Outlet X as further right than we labeled it, we update.
  • The AI gets sharper over time as the community keeps the source weights honest.

Watch yourself form a view.

As you rate stories and join discussions, a private profile takes shape — a snapshot of where you read from, what you read most, and where your blind spots are. We tell you what we see. Only ever to you.

  • A lean dial that moves with your ratings, not your declared affiliation.
  • Reading-mix stats: are you reading both sides, or one?
  • Blind-spot nudges:“You've read 4× more left lenses on EPA stories.”
  • Private by default. Never sold. Always yours to delete.

The 90-day recalculation period is what worries me — affected borrowers got notice Friday, and the next payment is due in 8 weeks. Has anyone seen detail on how Education will handle borrowers reclassified mid-cycle?

Fair concern. Per the Department's release, borrowers whose status changes get a 60-day grace period before any payment adjustment. Source 4 in the synthesis covers this — section labeled “Implementation timeline.”

Both worth thinking about — but I'd separate the legal question (did the court overreach?) from the operational one (can this be done in 90 days?). The synthesis treats them together, which I think muddies it.
