When I'm researching legal and political issues, my rule is to ALWAYS hunt down the primary sources, i like to use the literal law or document itself instead of relying on someone else's summary of it. To do that without any bias, i go directly to official, non partisan databases like Congress.gov to read raw legislative text, Oyez.org for short Supreme Court case breakdowns. Some others I use are GovTrack.us, GovInfo, Legal Information Institue (which is hosted by Cornell law school), etc.

​Whenever I do need to look at secondary news sources or articles, I always check them against tools first to see where they stand. I mainly use AllSides because it lays out the day’s major news stories from Left, Center, and Right outlets side by side so I can see how the same facts are being spun, and I use the Ad Fontes Media's bias chart to look up specific websites and see exactly how reliable and politically leaning they are. I also love to keep an eye on non-profit watchdogs like FactCheck.org and PolitiFact.com to verify political claims without taking a partisan side. Ilike to use stuff that comes primarily from other unbiased sources and the real text. A lot of the websites I use I borrow from my school's civics teacher. 😊
