How to Track Congress Stock Trades
Every stock trade a member of Congress makes over $1,000 becomes a public record within 45 days. Where the House and Senate publish those reports, how to read one line by line, which dates matter, and how to follow a member, a stock, or a single filing day, with the record's shape computed live.
Does Congress Sell Before the Drop?
Is a congressional sale a warning? We measured every disclosed sale since 2023 against the next 30 and 90 days, side by side with the purchases and the S&P 500 over the same windows.

Which Party Files Late? STOCK Act Compliance by Party
Republicans miss the STOCK Act's 45-day disclosure deadline more often than Democrats in every way we count it, but the size of the gap depends entirely on the frame. Two Republican senators account for half of their party's late filings, and one Democrat's on-time volume dominates his party's total. Both frames, computed live.
Who Files Late? STOCK Act Deadline Compliance, Ranked

What Stocks Do Before Congress Discloses
Members of Congress can wait up to 45 days to tell the public about a trade.

The average is smaller than you'd guess, and the late filers are not.
