Buy. The. Dip. — We just received 25 new trades worth over ~$865K from Rep. Maria Salazar — The conviction is real bc every single trade was a purchase — $C (Citigroup): ~$65K — $GS (Goldman Sachs): ~$100K — $PTON (Peloton): ~$30K — $HON (Honeywell): ~$50K — $BA (Boeing): ~$65K — And more…
So far, the most aggressive/strange “buy the dip” trade has been Peloton
Why?
For starters, $PTON is down ~96% from ATHs
The stock is already +23% since her entry on 3/19
And it’s the first time a sitting politician has bought Peloton since 2021

Watch this one ✍ Rep. Cleo Fields is purchasing additional shares of $TSM (Taiwan Semiconductor) That’s ~$1.8M in total buys since June 2025
~$250K in June 2025 (position start) ~$250K in July 2025 ~$980K in August 2025 ~$250K in October 2025 ~$15K in January 2026 ~$15K in April 2026 (latest purchase on 4/9)
That’s ~$1.8M in total buys
He’s up over 60% on most of his shares
Just thought we’d share that with you

Fed Chair nominee Kevin Warsh could go down as the “richest” to ever hold the position if confirmed — His financial disclosure proves it: ~$5M in $UPS (United Parcel Service) — ~$5M in $CPNG (Coupang) — ~$100M in a private investment vehicle managed by Juggernaut Management
In other words, we don’t know exactly what that ~$100M is invested in, though he has promised to divest these assets if confirmed
And here’s the craziest part:
His wife’s financials were also included in the disclosure (Jane Lauder)
The fact that she didn’t take her hubby's last name means one thing
She’s rich
Yep, Forbes is clocking in her net worth at ~$2.6 billion, and that’s bc she is the heiress to the Estée Lauder fortune
Eyes will be on $EL if Warsh is confirmed

Politicians never fail to enrage the public 🤣 According to the Washington Times, Rep. Ilhan Omar claims her ~$30M financial disclosure was a mistake — Her amended filing shows she owns only ~$95K in assets — Believable? Sure…

Update 🚨 Let's not forget Debbie Schultz's 8/5 purchase of $ICHR - Ichor Holdings — It just hit new ATHs, and she's up ~352% on the trade — Quick Q: Is this Warren Buffett's daughter?

Recently: Rep. Josh Gottheimer made a massive ~$1M purchase of $MSFT (Microsoft) call options
Key facts:
- The strike price is $320, with an expiration date of 6/18/2026
- He served as GM of Corporate Strategy at Microsoft from 2012-2015
- $MSFT is down ~0.05% since his entry (meaning you could technically enter at a similar price)
If anyone in Congress knows a thing or two about Microsoft, it’s him

As per our most recent post, we felt obligated to tell you something ... Rep. Greg Steube bought two stocks: ~$15K of $IONQ on 3/18 (already +33%) and ~$50K of another one, $MAR (Marriott International) on 4/8
He's only +4% on it so far, and it's his largest bet
Do what you want with that info 😉

Bottom of the dip? — Rep. Michael McCaul just filed a ~$250K purchase of $ARE (Alexandria Real Estate)
Flagging this bc:
This beaten down stock recently hit 17-year lows
If it returns to ATHs, he would be up ~363% (from his buy date of 3/23)
He's bought many of these "beaten down" stocks, but for whatever reason, he invested a lot more into this one

So that just happened — Rep. August Pfluger disclosed his first stock trades since 2022: ~$50K buy of $DMLP (Dorchester Minerals) & ~$50K buy of $VNOM (Viper Energy)
Both companies own land or mineral rights, allowing other companies to drill there in exchange for a share of the revenue (royalties)
Strangely enough, Pfluger is the main sponsor of "The Unlocking Domestic LNG Potential Act," which makes exporting natural gas to foreign countries easier by removing one layer of approval (DOE)
If this passes, drilling demand might increase
Which would likely result in Viper and Dorchester earning more royalties
This is the literal definition of "conflict of interest"

That adds fuel to the fire — Sen. John Boozman has just disclosed that he purchased $MSFT (Microsoft) on Mar 5

$CSCO might be a diamond in the dirt after several politicians bought in: Jared Moskowitz (D), Rich McCormick (R), Julia Letlow (R), Gilbert Cisneros (D), & Ro Khanna (D)
Is there significance? Yes 🫡
Cisco holds several Department of Defense contracts
The majority of them are focused on keeping the DoD's global network infrastructure running, secure, and up to date
And Rep. Khanna is the ranking member of the Armed Services Subcommittee on Cyber, Information Technologies, and Innovation
$CSCO is up ~6% since his ~$50K purchase on 3/30
