Find answers to common questions about doitfordeepstate.com below.
What is DoItForDeepState?
An independent political satire and civic-education website. We publish satire, commentary and plain-English explainers about how U.S. government works.
Is the content real news?
No. Satirical pieces are fiction written for humor and commentary and are labelled as satire. Explainer articles aim to be factual and link to primary sources, but nothing here is official government information.
Are you affiliated with the government or a political party?
No. This is an independent site with no affiliation to any government agency, political party, campaign or candidate.
Why the name "DoItForDeepState"?
The name is itself a joke about the popular "deep state" conspiracy theory. We use it to draw curious readers in, then offer something more substantive: how the permanent bureaucracy, oversight and accountability actually work.
Do I need an account or to pay anything?
No. All articles and the civic tools on the homepage are free and require no registration.
How do the civic tools work?
The tax-dollar calculator gives a rough, simplified estimate based on approximate federal spending shares; the representative lookup points you to official sites such as senate.gov and house.gov; the letter generator creates a template you can edit and send yourself.
Can I suggest a topic or report an error?
Yes. Use the contact form. When we get something factually wrong, we correct it.
Do you show ads?
Yes, the site is supported by Google AdSense ads. See our Privacy Policy for details on cookies.
