Welcome to DC Decoder! We know Washington, and politics in general, can be confusing. We try to break down the political universe into manageable nuggets free from spin or spite. And we try to do it in a non-jargony yet spirited way.

We are strictly nonpartisan. We don’t endorse any particular candidates, political party, or point-of-view. And we always try to provide pathways to action - pro and con - that give you tools to get involved.

We also have a Tumblr page. Visit us here.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
