Democracy Monitor

Monitoring democratic institutions through public records

Each week, AI-assisted review reads what the U.S. government publishes across 14 democratic-institution categories and asks where it departs from the government's previous norms, calibrated against 2017–2024 records from both parties — grounded in over 200,000 searchable full-text government documents.

About this dashboard

Democracy Monitor is a searchable repository of U.S. government documents — federal regulations, court filings, congressional floor speeches, presidential statements, enforcement actions, and more. Using this repository, the system produces AI-assisted analyses of democratic institutional health across 14 categories, with weekly assessments, AI-generated narrative summaries, and the ability to drill down to the specific documents supporting each finding. The methodology, data, and code are fully open source.
