The PACs in these elections present themselves as dozens of unrelated groups. Follow the people — the presidents, the treasurers, the paperwork firms, the funders — and a smaller, connected network appears. This map draws only what the public record documents.
How to read this map. Circles are committees and organizations; smaller grey-violet circles are people and firms.
Red committees back Republicans, blue committees back Democrats, and committees that work both sides are split down the middle — watch how many of those sit at the center. Grey means the record doesn't establish a side yet, and we won't guess.
A gold ring marks a new addition. The colored circles are causes: the light purple one marks the pro-Israel organizations (whether or not they have any tie to AIPAC), the rose one the MAGA-aligned groups, the green one the court-fight groups. Each circle is a hard boundary — a group sits inside a cause circle only when the record puts it there, groups that belong to two causes sit in the overlap, and nothing drifts in by accident. Click any circle for its story and its documented connections; click any line to see what documents it.

The map grows with our reporting — every time the daily audit flags a new outside spender, we investigate who is behind it and add what the record shows. The newest:
A note on treasurer lines. A treasurer of record is a paperwork role on FEC filings. Some treasurers are a committee's own people; others are professional compliance specialists who serve many unrelated committees. A dashed treasurer line means "the same name is on both filings" — a documented fact, not proof of coordination. The same caution applies to shared vendors. Money lines and leadership lines are the strong ties, and every line on this map names its source.
