The rules are in the [House Committee on Ethics instruction guide](https://ethics.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/7-8-2026-2025-Published-Instruction-Guide.pdf), and the filings themselves are on the [House Clerk](https://disclosures-clerk.house.gov/FinancialDisclosure) and [Senate eFD](https://efdsearch.senate.gov/search/) sites. A "real-time" Congress alert is real time from the filing, weeks after the trade. ## What do you use Quiver for? ### Congress and politician trades? Capitol Trades is the free table of every trade.
