Congress Edition

Week of 2026-08-10

Two hundred trades were disclosed this week, with a sweeping bulk filing from Sen. Tommy Tuberville covering transactions dating back more than two years commanding the most attention.

The Big Picture

STOCK Act disclosures filed between August 3 and August 10 totaled 200 transactions, with Republicans accounting for 108 and Democrats for 92. Technology was by far the most-sold sector, with 42 sell transactions — more than twice any other category — while buying was spread more evenly across Industrials, Technology, and Healthcare. The week's dominant story was Sen. Tommy Tuberville's batch filing of 93 transactions spanning trades from March 2024 through December 2025, most of them well past the law's 45-day disclosure window.

By the Numbers

Most significant potential conflicts this week:

Late to File

Under the STOCK Act, members must disclose a trade within 45 days. This week's late filings were dominated by a bulk disclosure from Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama covering 93 transactions with lags reaching as high as 880 days:

Sen. Tuberville's batch filing included dozens of additional late disclosures, with lags generally ranging from 231 to 870 days across trades from 2024 and 2025.

Rep. Julie Johnson of Texas filed a comparable backlog of 77 transactions with lags ranging from 185 to 509 days:

Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon disclosed one transaction past the deadline:

Late disclosure is a timing violation under the STOCK Act and does not imply any wrongdoing regarding the trades themselves.

All-time: 12.1% of all tracked congressional stock disclosures — 2,648 of 21,962 total — have been filed late; the members with the most cumulative late filings on record are Rep. Sheri Biggs (171 late filings), Rep. Julia Letlow (136), Rep. Valerie Hoyle (114), Sen. Thomas H Tuberville (108), and Rep. Alan Armstrong (96).
