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.
