Freshcod3s // Civic intelligence desk

The public record, eventually.

All of it has been public for years. Finding it was left as an exercise for the reader.

What it pays for

On disclosure

Technically public.

  1. 01 The trade

    A member of Congress trades a stock.

  2. 02 The clock

    45 days to report it.

  3. 03 The fee

    $200 if late, waivable by the committee that would impose it.

  4. 04 The portal

    A scanned PDF behind a search box that wants the docket number you came there to find.

  5. 05 The repeal

    2012: a searchable, sortable database, and a bar on logins in front of it. 2013: both repealed, without objection.

  6. 06 The desk

    Freshcod3s builds the part they repealed.

Read as text

Every record on this desk arrives as a scanned PDF in a portal whose search box wants the docket number you came there to find.

Congress gave itself 45 days to report a stock trade, and a $200 late fee, waivable by the committees that would have to impose it.

The 2012 law also required a searchable, sortable database of all of it, and barred anyone from putting a login in front of it. Congress repealed both parts in 2013, without objection.

What they oversee.
What they disclose.

Each dot is one member's latest disclosed trade, placed by how long it took to disclose. Past the gold line is past the 45-day limit. Pick any dot to see what that member oversees, what they traded, and the original filing.

The discipline

Every record answers six questions

  1. 01 / 06

    What is the source?

    The filing, the database, the agency. Linked, not summarized.

  2. 02 / 06

    When was it filed?

    The date that appears on the record, and the lag, measured against the statutory window.

  3. 03 / 06

    What changed?

    The diff against the prior record. An edit, not a vibe.

  4. 04 / 06

    What is still unknown?

    The questions the record can’t answer.

  5. 05 / 06

    Where is the evidence?

    Every figure links to the filing it came from.

  6. 06 / 06

    What does the desk add?

    Readable structure around the source, with no fake certainty.

The source stays visible. The record stays human-readable.

With gratitude

Thank you for your transparency.

Thank you for the PDF. For scanning it sideways. For the search box that forgets me every eleven minutes, and for the export that returns the first fifty rows.

Thank you for disclosing in August what was traded in November, and for the enforcement that followed.

Thank you for the login. Requiring one was prohibited for a year, and the prohibition was repealed.

Thank you for the fee. Two hundred dollars, waivable, assessed per report rather than per trade.

I’d have had nothing to build without you.

The desk is reader-funded. That’s the polite term for busking.
