Defense contracting transparency

Where money moves through U.S. defense — federal spending (Department of Defense), the top prime contractors by dollars received, lobbying, congressional trades in defense stocks, and the revolving door. Coverage-honest: figures we don't have yet show "—"; the contractor list is a curated set of major primes, not every DoD vendor.

Defense is the largest slice of discretionary federal spending — money Congress appropriates each year for the military and the contractors it buys from. Learn more →

Disclosed congressional stock trades in defense-sector companies (aerospace, defense electronics, shipbuilding, prime contractors), member-linked, with the same conflict & timing flags as the full trades page. Members on the Armed Services committees are flagged for potential conflict.

Parsed from official House Clerk Periodic Transaction Report (PTR) filings; each trade links its source PDF.

Coverage note: only trades whose ticker maps to a known defense-sector company are counted here — trades in unmapped or non-equity assets are excluded, so this undercounts total defense exposure.
