🔒 — 21,020 more disclosures this week in The Full Ledger

Amounts are disclosed ranges. A "flag" denotes a sector/committee overlap or a late filing — a signal to read, not an allegation of wrongdoing. Dates link to the official filing. How we read a disclosure ▸

Two Free Editions a Week

MONDAY

The Congress Edition

Stock trades by U.S. Representatives and Senators — with trades that overlap a member's committee jurisdiction flagged.

TUESDAY

The Executive Edition

Trades by Cabinet secretaries, agency heads, and senior appointees — with trades that overlap an official's agency flagged.

"The signal isn't the trade. It's the timing, the committee, and the silence around it."

Common Questions

What is The Potomac Ledger?
A free weekly newsletter tracking the stock trades of U.S. government officials, drawn from official disclosures and explained clearly, with the jargon stripped out. Two editions: Congress on Mondays, the executive branch on Tuesdays.
Do members of Congress have to disclose their stock trades?
Yes. Under the STOCK Act of 2012, members of Congress and senior staff must publicly disclose any stock transaction over $1,000 within 30 to 45 days.
Do executive-branch officials have to disclose trades?
Yes. Cabinet secretaries, agency heads, and Senate-confirmed appointees file periodic transaction reports on OGE Form 278-T under the same 30-to-45-day rule.
How much does it cost?
The weekly newsletter is free for everyone. An optional membership, The Full Ledger, adds every trade in full plus downloadable data, and mid-week alerts the moment a major trade drops, for $8/month or $80/year — the charter rate, locked in for life for the first 100 members.
