New Plugin Shows Exactly Where Your Congressperson’s Money Comes From

You’ll never lose track of who’s funding your Congressperson again.
Greenhouse is a new plugin for Chrome and Safari (Firefox coming soon) that automatically highlights the name of any US lawmaker that appears on whichever webpage you happen to browsing. Just hover over their name for a detailed breakdown of exactly where their money comes from:

The best part?
The new plugin comes courtesy of 16-year-old self-taught programmer Nicholas Rubin.

Here is his page for installation:

Firefox via Mozilla not yet available, I just checked.
