Capitol Hill Insider Trades November 15— November 21, 2025

Anna's Capitol Hill Insider Trades

Just facts, you think for yourself

If you walked into your local bank branch tomorrow and asked for a safe investment paying an 11.25% yield, the manager would probably laugh at you. They would tell you such a thing doesn't exist in this economy.

Yet, on October 10th, a key member of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee—the very committee that writes our tax laws—quietly moved millions of dollars into exactly that kind of asset.

He didn't just buy a few shares. He disclosed a purchase of a structured note from the Royal Bank of Canada worth up to $5 million.

At the exact same time, he unloaded a massive position in another major bank note.

This wasn't a gamble. This was a calculated, multi-million dollar rotation of capital by a man who sits in the room where fiscal policy is decided.

And he wasn't alone.

In the quiet week of November 15th through November 21st, while the rest of the country was distracted by headlines, eleven members of Congress were busy restructuring their financial lives.

We analyzed roughly 40 separate transactions from these members. What we found was a fascinating divergence in strategy:

  • One "Financial Services" member is suddenly buying up consumer staples—think fast food and insurance.

  • A younger member from Texas just made his first major disclosed bet on Bitcoin.

  • Meanwhile, two other members are fleeing to the absolute safety of U.S. Treasury Bills.

Why is one Congressman chasing an 11% yield while another is parking cash in "boring" Treasuries? Why is a Democrat on the Financial Services Committee suddenly dropping a quarter-million dollars into a streaming giant like Netflix?

There is a fractured narrative emerging in D.C. right now. Some members are bracing for volatility; others are positioning for a boom. The difference is, they aren't guessing. They are trading on information you simply do not have.

Below the paywall, we don't just list the trades. We break down the intent. We show you the specific assets, the exact dates, and the committee assignments that connect the dots.

You can’t sit on the Ways and Means Committee. But you can see what its members are buying.
