ABOUT CATALYST PATRIOT
We built this for the Americans who are tired of being lied to.

Turn on the news and you'll hear a lot of numbers. Budget deficits. Spending bills. Social Security insolvency dates. Housing crises.
But where do those numbers actually come from?
Too often, they're cherry-picked, decontextualized, or flat-out wrong. One side inflates. The other deflates. Everyone has an agenda. And the average American is left guessing who to believe.
We got tired of guessing.
So we built something different: a platform where every single number is traced back to its original government document. No spin. No aggregators. No partisan think tanks. Just the raw data, presented clearly, with full source citations you can verify yourself.
We call it Radical Sourcing.
OUR MISSION
We believe transparency isn't partisan. Accountability isn't radical. And the truth doesn't care about your vote.
This platform exists to help citizens cut through the noise, understand the numbers that matter, and take informed action on the policies that affect their families, their communities, and their country.
Every number on this site links back to its source document. No aggregators. No "studies say." No Wikipedia citations. If we can't trace it to an official government record, we don't publish it.
You shouldn't have to trust us. You should be able to verify us in two clicks.
We don't care if you're red or blue. We care if your government is spending your money wisely, keeping its promises, and telling you the truth about it.
Left and right both screw up budgets. Both make promises they can't keep. We hold both accountable.
Government data is intentionally hard to read. Buried in 500-page PDFs. Hidden in Excel sheets with no labels. Written in bureaucrat-speak.
We translate it into plain English, clean visuals, and interactive charts so you can actually understand what your government is doing.
Every page includes:
Catalyst Patriot is a project of Catalyst USA, a civic intelligence initiative founded by Dusty Bruggeman.
I'm not a politician. I'm not a think tank researcher. I'm a life insurance broker from St. Louis, Missouri who got fed up with the gap between what politicians promise and what the data actually shows.
I built this platform because I believe most Americans, regardless of political affiliation, want the same basic things:
This started as a side project built with AI assistance (shoutout to Claude and Cursor). It's grown into something bigger: a movement of citizens who refuse to accept lazy narratives and demand source-level proof.
We're not left or right. We're pro-transparency, pro-accountability, and pro-citizen.
