Flagged This Week
Trades where the company's sector overlaps the filer's committee or agency
Two Free Editions a Week
The Congress Edition
Stock trades by U.S. Representatives and Senators — with trades that overlap a member's committee jurisdiction flagged.
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."
Want the Whole Picture?
The free editions cover the trades that matter most. The Full Ledger membership gives you every disclosed trade in full, downloadable data, and mid-week alerts the moment a major trade drops — $8/month or $80/year, the charter rate locked in for life for the first 100 members.

- 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.
