Members of Congress are allowed to buy and sell individual stocks while they serve, and federal law requires them to disclose each trade. Many of those same members sit on the committees that write the rules, set the budgets, and run the oversight for entire industries. Capitol Signals exists to make the overlap between those two roles easy to see.

For every disclosed trade, the site checks whether the company falls under the authority of a committee the member belongs to, then weighs how closely the trade lines up with that committee's recent legislation and activity. The result is a single score from 0 to 100. A higher score means the company, the timing, and the committee's work line up more tightly. It is a measure of how unusual a trade looks, not a finding of wrongdoing.

The table to the right is today's ranking of the closest matches. Each row names the member along with their party and state, what they bought or sold and when, the company involved, and the committee whose work the trade overlaps. Trades marked Critical are the tightest matches; Elevated trades still sit well above the everyday pattern. Select any name to open that member's full record, including every trade and the legislation behind the score.

Everything here is free to read and free to reuse. There is no paywall and no account to create. The full dataset and the code that produces the scores are public, so a reporter or researcher can verify any number on this page or build something new on top of it.
