# Congress and White House trades

> Stock trades reported by members of Congress and the executive branch, free for everyone.

Congress and White House trades are free for everyone, with no card.

## Where the data comes from

* **Congress:** periodic transaction reports filed with the House Clerk and the Senate eFD system.
* **White House:** OGE Form 278-T reports from the President, Cabinet members and agency heads. Open **Executive branch** on the Politicians page.

## Why it is late

Members must report a trade within 30 days of learning of it, and no later than 45 days after it happened. White House reports can also arrive up to 45 days after. Check the dates on each row.

## What you see

The Politicians tracker lists members with what they bought and sold, the volume, when they last filed, their return, and how that compares with the S\&P 500 (SPY). You can switch to **Stocks** to see what they traded.

Click a trade to see:

| Field | Meaning |
| - | - |
| Traded | The date of the trade |
| Disclosed | The date it became public |
| Lag | Days between the trade and its public disclosure |
| Amount | A range, not an exact figure |
| Move since disclosed | How the stock has moved since the filing |
| Source | A link to the filing |

You can search by member, filter by chamber (House or Senate), and export a member's trades to CSV.

## Follow a member

Press **Follow** on a member or official, signed in. These follows never count toward the Free follow limit. Free gets one digest email a day. Pro gets each alert as it happens. An alert shows who traded, the stock, buy or sell, the dollar range, the trade date, the filing date and a link to the filing.

## Read it with care

* Amounts are ranges. Exact values are not reported.
* Trades are not current holdings.
* Some House reports yield no stock rows. That means missing, not zero. Senate reports filed on paper are images and are not read.
* Some White House filings are image-only scans, so the table can stop before the newest filing.

Public filings are shown as filed. Federal law (5 U.S.C. 13107) limits some uses.
