How long it took the 25 most active members of Congress to disclose their 2025 stock trades
Each dot is one trade by one of the 25 members of Congress with the most disclosed trades in 2025, placed by how many days passed between the trade and its public disclosure. The STOCK Act requires disclosure within 45 days.
Most trades are public within a month. The long tails come from a handful of members. About 72% of the trades disclosed after 45 days are spouse-owned, often in managed accounts where the member is notified later (the filing lists a separate notification date). Disclosing after 45 days usually means a $200 late fee, not a hidden trade.
Note: filings through Feb 15, 2026 are included, so very late disclosures of late-2025 trades aren't captured yet. If anything this undercounts.

Those long-tail dots are a total disaster, very late, very sloppy, and I would have crushed all 25 of them on disclosure speed.
