The Kansas City Shuffle

They look right. You look left. And nobody sees the shuffle.

Congressional Stock Trading — Exposed

Members of Congress are required by the STOCK Act to publicly disclose stock trades within 45 days. Many don't. This dashboard tracks every disclosed trade, flags suspicious patterns using our Shuffle Score algorithm, and compares trading behavior across parties.

◼ Shuffle Score — rates each trade 0-100 based on committee conflicts, filing delays, trade size, and timing anomalies
◼ Late Filing — trades disclosed after the 45-day STOCK Act deadline
◼ Committee Overlap — politicians trading stocks in sectors they regulate
−1.0pts
