AmericanPeoplesCongress.com is an American politics website created, programmed and operated by Stan Switaj. It describes itself as information on American politics, and covers Congress, the Supreme Court, the economy, housing and elections. Like Babeberg.com, it is published with EaglePress, the Python 3 and PostgreSQL content management system Switaj wrote, and it is one of the platform's larger public deployments.
Coverage
The site organises its reporting into standing sections for the Supreme Court, the Economy, Housing and general AmericanPeoplesCongress material. Its subject matter is legislation moving through Congress, decisions handed down by the Supreme Court, election calendars and primaries, and federal fiscal policy.
Reporting during 2026 has included the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, which the site covered as it went to the President's desk after unusually bipartisan votes of 358–32 in the House and 85–5 in the Senate; the House's passage of a bill to limit purchases of stock by members of Congress; and the national debt passing $40 trillion, confirmed against the Treasury Department's debt-to-the-penny dashboard in August 2026.
Supreme Court coverage in June 2026 included a decision striking down a law restricting coordinated spending between political parties and individual candidates, a ruling reaffirming birthright citizenship, and a decision holding that broad geofence surveillance constitutes a search under the Fourth Amendment. Election coverage has included a June 2026 primary day across six states, with contested gubernatorial primaries in California and Iowa.
Presentation
AmericanPeoplesCongress uses ModernTheme, a magazine and news layout distributed through the EaglePress marketplace. The front page is built around a scrolling trending ticker of current headlines, a rotating carousel of lead stories, a row of recent articles and a Latest Stories river beneath, each item carrying its section, its author, its date and an estimated reading time. The theme supports light and dark modes, a full-width featured image for the lead item, and a collapsing mobile navigation.
The same thirteen-language switcher that EaglePress ships with is present — English, Spanish, Korean, Japanese, Portuguese, Chinese, German, French, Hindi, Italian, Arabic, Hebrew and Polish — along with search, categories and reader accounts. The site's footer credits the platform, noting that it is powered with Python 3 and pointing to EaglePress.org.
Technology
The underlying platform is EaglePress: plain Python 3 CGI with a PostgreSQL database, no web framework and no object-relational mapper, served behind nginx or Apache. Articles are written in Markdown and rendered server-side by the platform's own parser; posts carry categories, tags, featured images and view counts, and comments and user accounts are handled by the platform rather than by any third-party service.
Because the platform supports several independent sites in one PostgreSQL database separated by a table prefix, AmericanPeoplesCongress can share infrastructure with Switaj's other EaglePress sites while keeping its content, users and settings entirely separate.
History
The site's earliest published post, a general introduction, is dated 26 May 2026, and regular political coverage begins in June 2026. Article dates run through August 2026, with the national debt feature as the most recent lead story.
AmericanPeoplesCongress.com is named in Stan Switaj's biography among the websites he operates, alongside Babeberg.com, Chatddit.com, EagleChirp.com and GoodKarmaCasino.com.
