Only other thing I considered doing was setting up a twitter bot that tweeted out the largest donors to politicians that voted to overturn the 2020 election. fec.gov tracks all political donations, including basic info on individual donors. They have an API through which you can query data like any other API. I messed around for a while and got pretty much what I wanted out of some basic Python scripts.

​

What I wanted to do (before several life events got in the way in 2022) was set up a service on my second Raspberry Pi which periodically queried the FEC API for the largest recent donors to this list of politicians. Then I would have a twitter account specifically set up to tweet the results. I was gonna call it "Insurrectionist Tracker" or something like that. Anyway, ended up only being able to get the python scripts to run locally on my windows PC, never set up the second Pi. I also was definitely not going to learn how to use the Twitter API in any reasonable amount of time. And now things are extra screwed cause of how Musk is handling things. Maybe I'll make a website or something.
