Sludge
U.S. left
Sludge is an independent nonprofit newsroom focused on money in politics — lobbying, dark money, campaign finance, and conflicts of interest. It is a project of the Participatory Politics Foundation and is funded mainly by reader subscriptions and small foundation grants. Though it describes itself as nonpartisan, its story selection consistently emphasizes progressive concerns, and its coverage of the Trump administration has been broadly critical.
