I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking at here, but I started poking around and, for example, went into the second row of this, found the IRS enforcement and chose that then to federal disbursement (don't remember the exact name) and down the bottom there's a list of who apparently got money. I just poked into a couple, Variq and Palantir (a name associated with domestic spying, BTW), and looking at the charts for each it appears to be a steady and low level of outlays to these and then, just after 2020, these numbers skyrocket.

What exactly is this site USA Spending? Is it a watchdog site for government spending or something the government itself releases?
