Where our data comes from

Congressional coverage by year

Disclosed transactions we hold, by the year of the trade.

The model portfolio

Last rescored 2026-09-28, 8 days ago, from 10 holdings. 13F filings are quarterly and are due 45 days after quarter end, so the holdings themselves always describe a position that is at least six weeks old — that lag is in the law, not in our pipeline.

Reading the filings ourselves

We hold 3,126 periodic transaction reports from the House Clerk's own index, covering 2021-01-01 to 2026-09-18, and we read the filings directly rather than relying on anyone's summary of them.

Of the House filings we've opened, we extracted 18,814 trades from 2,077 of them. 359 are scans of paper forms with no machine-readable text; we do not guess at those, so the trades inside them are not on this site. Every extracted trade links back to the exact filing it came from, so you can check any of them against the original document.

On the Senate side we read 257 reports from the Senate's own disclosure system, giving 1,982 trades. Senate reports are published as structured tables rather than PDFs, so there is nothing to interpret. They also carry a real submission date separate from the trade date — which is what lets us say anything honest about how promptly a senator discloses.

Industry classification

3,705 of 3,934 companies carry an industry, taken from the SIC code each filer registers with the SEC. Where SEC's classification has no honest equivalent in our sector vocabulary — real-estate trusts, blank-cheque shells, and SEC's own "non-classifiable" code — we leave the company unclassified rather than guess. An unclassified company is skipped by the committee-conflict check; a misclassified one would produce a false accusation about a named person.
