Gottheimer discloses Micron purchases amid active trading period

Jul 20, 2026

The short video highlights Rep. Josh Gottheimer's committee roles on Intelligence and Financial Services, notes 46 trades filed in 90 days, and details two Micron purchases on May 21, 2026, claiming 48% outperformance. It ties his Intel subcommittee work to semiconductors and references a kids' safety bill using facial recognition drafted on a Saturday. The sourcing relies on public disclosures and committee records. No named experts or guests appear; the piece uses repetitive slogans and selective emphasis on timing and holdings to connect trading to legislative roles.

Rep. Dwight Evans discloses stock sales lagging S&P 500 on 30-day basis

Jul 17, 2026

The clip from BlindTrust presents Rep. Dwight Evans, D-PA, as having sold nine stocks with all underperforming the market on a forward basis. It highlights a May 7 sale of Thermo Fisher Scientific and notes his assignment to the Health subcommittee. The tone is mocking, with a repetitive chant-like close. BlindTrust derives its scores from periodic transaction reports filed under the STOCK Act. It compares each trade's 30-day performance to the S&P 500 and flags committee overlaps. The segment draws on eight prior scored trades with a mean alpha of -5.7%.

The video notes the filings are public and invites viewers to subscribe for more congressional trade coverage.
