tir labs builds tools for the people who ask difficult questions. Our public repositories include Harvy, which brings public-source research and evidence into a searchable workspace, and CongressWatch, which tracks legislation and government activity. Alongside these projects, we build the documentation and infrastructure that help journalists turn public information into reporting readers can examine for themselves.

Our newsroom, Postdated, is where that commitment meets the work of telling stories. Support for tir labs helps us pay cloud costs, maintain free tools for independent journalists, and work toward journalism grants, equipment support, bug bounties, and hackathons. Whether you write code, follow a lead, or fund the work, you can help make public-interest journalism more accessible to the people doing it.
