Capitol Weather

What Congress disclosed trading.

Every member of Congress has to file the stocks they buy and sell. We read those filings like a weather report: who's buying, who's selling, and which committee rooms the buyers sit in. A trade means more when the trader helps write the rules for that industry. No hot takes. Just the record.

These are public disclosures required by the STOCK Act. Members report their trades up to 45 days after they happen, and only in dollar ranges, never exact amounts. We publish them for transparency and curiosity. This is not investment advice, and it is not a claim that anyone should follow these trades. Full disclaimer

The Committee Room

seats · public record

A committee decides which laws, budgets and hearings reach an industry. When a member of that committee files a trade in the same industry, we put the two facts side by side. That's all we do - the reader draws the conclusion.

These names turned up in Congressional filings this month, and they are live in the World State Trading system right now. When the people writing the rules and the market are looking at the same name, that's worth a second glance.

We flag the overlap only: the fact that a name appears in both places. What World State Trading actually reads on it lives inside the forecast. How World State Trading reads the market

The Room column appears only when the member's own committee oversees the company's industry. Most trades have no such link - the blank is the honest default.

The law allows 45 days. These members exceed it most often. Late numbers are career totals from the same public feed - no judgment attached, the count speaks for itself.

Not just Congress

The same feed carries financial disclosures from the executive branch - White House officials and agency heads file too, under the Ethics in Government Act. A different form, the same public record.
