Show HN: A website that tracks every stock trade Congress makes (congress.kadoa.com)

Congressional trading data is relatively commoditized, but I couldn't find any open-source version with the features I wanted.

The data is lagged (median 28 days from trade to disclosure, and 19% miss this deadline), but there's still interesting patterns to explore.

Repo: https://github.com/kadoa-org/congress-trading-monitor

Let me know if you have any suggestions for improvements!

Trumps not holding Micron?

Cool. It looks like you're packaging the data as json files in the repo. Would be neat to see the pipeline that collects it.

I wish it were realtime. We could all be quazillionnaires.

I wish congress members, staffers and 2nd level family all had to pre-announce buy/sale orders by 1 business day.

It's crazy they don't need to, honestly.

Can you make sure cmd+click works correctly

Remind me to come check this tracker after the SpaceXAI IPO.

What does imaginary portfolio mean? It's not clear whether you're claiming these numbers are real or imaginary.

Open-source repo + public source disclosures + reproducible pipeline already puts this above 90% of “AI insight” products.

Does it? Unusualwhales already provides the same data with a bit of insight. They also trade via shell companies (used to just call them straw buyers).

Id say its just another version

It's the undisclosed trades hidden behind shell companies and family connections that we should all be scrutinizing.

Could you add a column with the person's political affiliation?

This is exactly the kind of visibility we need for our leaders. Unfortunately, these days many people are so jaded about them that we accept any malfeasance to be business as usual.

How is this okay? Public service used to mean sacrifice. Now it’s just self-enrichment

Great work and looks really neat. is the disclouse made within 45 days of the trade?

This looks cool. Exactly what I've been looking for.
