Trade stocks like a Congressman! Today, I came across the Unusual Whales Subversive Exchange Traded Funds. These funds (one R, one D) track the market activity of members of Congress and buy or sell for the fund accordingly. Note: Not a recommendation! Just reporting the weird thing I found.

The last time Trump was spanked that hard, he paid $130,000 for it.
