Federal News Sources
We aggregate news from federal regulatory authorities rather than politically-biased media outlets to ensure the information is accurate, impartial, and based on official data. Federal agencies provide direct updates on regulations, policies, and enforcement actions derived from their statutory responsibilities, offering a reliable and objective perspective. Politically-biased media outlets, by contrast, may present news through a lens shaped by political or ideological biases, potentially distorting facts or emphasizing certain viewpoints to align with their agendas. Focusing on regulatory authorities helps maintain the integrity of the information, supporting informed decision-making with verifiable and neutral sources.
