Foreign agents (FARA)
ⓘFARA (Foreign Agents Registration Act): people who work in the US for a foreign government, party or company must register and report what they do and what they are paid.

Lobbying firms working for this company also represent these foreign principals. These are separate engagements: the firm's foreign work is not done for this company.

Market
ⓘA 10b5-1 plan is a trading schedule an insider sets up in advance, so sales under it say less about the insider’s view.

Open-market buys and sells from SEC Form 4 filings; grants and option exercises left out, and trades whose filed price failed our market check. A 10b5-1 plan is a trading schedule set in advance, so those sells say little about the insider's view. The plan box is on filings from April 2023 on.

Sources and limits

USAspending (prime contracts only; no subcontracts or classified work; defense contracts can arrive up to 90 days after signing), SEC EDGAR, Senate LDA, FEC, House and Senate disclosures, the Federal Register and the White House. Companies are tied to records by exact name, a verified alias or a subsidiary in the company's own Exhibit 21; a miss is better than a wrong link. A shared date is not proof of cause, and nothing here is investment advice.
