Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) is a leading advocate for banning members of Congress from trading stock.

She also just violated the existing Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act by improperly disclosing a stock sale in 2023.

Members of Congress are overwhelmingly rich.

But just how rich are they?

For Capitol Gains, @notus.com dives into how lawmakers make their money — and explores how a group of mostly multimillionaires makes policy that affects millions. www.notus.org/capitol-gains

Debates around congressional stock trading and the affordability crisis are animated by a pervasive feeling that Congress is increasingly in a different echelon of society. This feeling has fueled a growing cynicism among the electorate.

What does the data say?

We started with one question: How much wealth is in Congress?

After months of reporting we have a new website tracking how members of Congress get, and stay, rich.

Check out our latest @notus.com project led by the incredible @taylorgiorno.bsky.social

Our latest investigative project: Capitol Gains

NOTUS looked into the wealth of the lawmakers in Congress — and we found that 73 of the 100 sitting senators have a median net worth of more than *$1 million*

This essentially means that millionaires are overrepresented in the Senate

Janet Mills’ campaign released a new ad Tuesday aimed squarely at Graham Platner’s online history, referencing two disparaging remarks he made in 2013 about victims of rape.

Sources close to Millls say the new ad is only start of a more aggressive campaign www.notus.org/2026-election/janet-millsgraham-platner-reddit-ad

NEWS: Six months before the Trump admin began bombing Iran, the Department of State fired its oil and gas experts.

State’s energy division got completely DOGE’d. And with it went the people who knew how to plan for a global energy crisis.

Members of Congress are elected to represent their constituents at the highest levels of government — but are they really representative of their constituents?

That was our jumping off point for the project that would become Capitol Gains www.notus.org/capitol-gains

The Senate is a millionaires club 💰 73% of senators have a median net worth of more than $1 million, compared to just 7% of the U.S. population!

That's one of the many findings from Capitol Gains, a @notus.com project all about wealth in Congress 🧵 www.notus.org/capitol-gains/senate-millionaires-financial-disclosures

A now-former lobbyist for the @nvca embezzled more than $1 million from the trade association's political action committee.

He quietly signed a plea deal with the U.S. Attorney for DC just before Christmas.

But Trump is focused on Iran and a voter ID bill

Only 12% of Americans favor changing clocks twice a year.

But lawmakers and lobbyists say a bill that would make daylight savings time permanent is basically dead — for now.

"Anyone's better than that dog murderer."

FEMA staff are rejoicing at Kristi Noem's ouster. I've had folks asking me for months if I knew when she might get fired.

That day is finally here, and they are delighted.
