The weekly data drop
Congress trading, week of August 17, 2026
Aug 17 to Aug 23, 2026 · 16 reports · 85 trades
13 members of Congress filed 16 periodic transaction reports between August 17 and August 23, 2026, disclosing 85 trades with a listed ticker (39 purchases and 46 sales) across 39 tickers. Members report brackets rather than amounts, so the week's disclosed value falls somewhere in $4.1M–$15.2M, 29 trades from the House and 56 trades from the Senate. 15 trades were disclosed more than 45 days after the trade date, past the STOCK Act deadline; the median across the week was 38 days.
This page covers one Monday-to-Sunday filing week and does not change once the week has closed. The newest closed week is always at the current drop, and every week on record is in the archive. Every figure below is a count, a date, a disclosed amount range, or a lag against the STOCK Act deadline, and every one of them can be checked against the underlying reports.

To work with the numbers rather than quote them, every week on record is downloadable as CSV or JSON: one row per filing week, with the reports filed, members filing, trades disclosed and trades that missed the 45-day deadline. Free to reuse with attribution.
The source records are the periodic transaction reports members file with the House Clerk and the Senate Office of Public Records; Coldpine parses them and counts what they contain. How the parsing works, and what it misses, is in the methodology; who publishes this and how to reach us for a correction is on the masthead. Machine-readable access to the same data is documented for developers and AI assistants.
