Last year, Nancy Pelosi's husband sold $150K worth of stock in Visa right before the Justice Department announced an antitrust lawsuit against the company, which saved the Pelosi's a whole lot of losses. In both cases, the politicians have denied any wrongdoing. Marjorie Taylor Greene said that these investments were initiated by her financial advisor.

And to be fair, a lot of financial advisors were telling people to buy the dip. And also, hi, I told you to buy the dip too. In the case of Nancy Pelosi's husband, she denies that she shared any sensitive financial information with her husband.

But no matter the excuses on either side of the aisle, it is clear just through the performance of the portfolios of Congress members alone that insider trading is happening. And I hate it.

To get insight into what members of Congress are buying and selling, you can use platforms like Capital Trades, which aggregates stock disclosures from lawmakers in near real time.
