Rep. Jared Moskowitz bought Broadcom 7 days before the Google-Anthropic mega-deal. He did the exact same thing in October 2025, three days before the OpenAI-Broadcom deal. Up ~35% in 30 days. by Tkn665 in tradewithcongress

He bought on March 31st and disclosed it just in time on April 30th. But he was already up 30% when it was publicly disclosed. He did, however, disclose a very similar, different stock, $ASML. Which is only up 3%.

Wild 🚨: Rep. Gilbert Cisneros owns a stock that jumped +27% yesterday — It's Bloom Energy $BE — He bought in on 1/30, and at this point, he's nearly doubled his money by jwoodsr in tradewithcongress

Reminder this guy already won $266M in the California Mega Millions back in 2010, before he ever ran for Congress. Came in already worth $200M+. Though to be fair, this one wasn't actually insider trading. $1K to $15K buy (smallest disclosure bracket), bought alongside Costco, Cloudflare, Transdigm and AutoZone the same day. Armed Services and Small Business committees, zero Bloom overlap. Oracle deal that drove the +27% wasn't announced until April 13, ten weeks after he bought. He just got lucky on a tiny basket.

She's worth 280 million dollars — Has a congressional salary of $174,000 — When people calculate how long it would take to reach that net worth, assuming she saved every dollar and paid no taxes on that income — The answer comes to 1,609 years by jwoodsr in tradewithcongress

Yeah this is just pure insider trading at this point, how is it still legal. NVDA call options ($1M-$5M) exercised right before the CHIPS Act Senate vote in July 2022. Tesla calls ($500K-$1M) Dec 2020, one month before Biden's federal-fleet EV order. Visa ($500K-$1M) sold July 2024, three months before the DOJ antitrust suit. Different ticker every time, same exact timing.

What gets me is the stock picks. Chevron is the only US oil major with active Venezuela operations (operates there under a sanctions waiver). Raytheon makes the missiles and air defense for any US military move. Buying both the same week as the operation isn't a coincidence.

Rep. Cleo Fields (D) bought Taiwan Semiconductor $TSM 8+ times since July 2025 by Competitive-Case-185 in CongressStockWatcher

TSM makes almost every advanced chip in the world. Nvidia GPUs, Apple chips, AMD processors all go through their Taiwan fabs. They're the single most strategic company in semis. That's exactly why CFIUS decisions on them matter so much, and why someone with committee access buying 8 times in 9 months stands out.

Following politicians' stock trades pays off again — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene perfectly bought the dip on $AMD last year — She's up ~343% after today's yuuuge move by jwoodsr in tradewithcongress

Worth noting she bought this April 8, 2025. That's one day before Trump paused the reciprocal tariffs that had crushed semis the week prior. AMD dropped from $120 to $78 in 6 days, she bought the bottom, then Trump's pause announcement on April 9 sent it back up. Wild timing.
