Armstrong Doubles Down on WMB With Back-to-Back $5M+ Filings as 56 New Senate Disclosures Flood the Wire
Fifty-six new Senate filings landed since yesterday's post — the largest single-day disclosure batch in recent memory — and the most actionable signal buried inside them belongs to Sen. Alan Armstrong of West Virginia, who filed two separate purchases of WMB each valued at $5.0M+. That kind of repeated, high-conviction positioning in a single company within the last 30 days is rare even by the standards of the Senate's most active traders, and it puts Williams Companies squarely on the radar for STOCK Act watchers tracking energy-sector legislative overlap. Armstrong's 30-day total now stands at $11.2M+ — fifth-highest in the chamber.
The other headline from today's batch is Timothy Sheehy, the Montana freshman who has quietly become one of the Senate's most prolific large-ticket filers. Sheehy recorded two separate transactions each exceeding $5.0M within the last 30 days, pushing his rolling total to $44.5M+ — second only to David McCormick's $58.8M+. Rick Scott rounds out the top three at $40.2M+, anchored by a $5.0M+ position in CBLDX, a leveraged bond fund that also shows up as one of the Senate's most-traded non-index instruments over the last 30 days. On the House side, five new filings arrived, with Nancy Pelosi continuing to accumulate BE (Bloom Energy) at the $500K+ level — a position she has now added to multiple times in recent sessions.
Cross-chamber cluster activity adds another layer of texture today: Peter Welch and Rick Scott both traded TLT within the last 30 days, while William Hagerty and John Curtis overlapped on SPY. These simultaneous moves across party lines often reflect shared macro positioning rather than coincidence, and with the Fed's next policy window approaching, the long-duration Treasury trade in particular deserves scrutiny.

LTH's 9 House trades make it the most-transacted individual name in the lower chamber over the last 30 days — an unusual concentration in a mid-cap wellness company worth monitoring for any pending health policy legislation. BWXT's appearance (3 trades) is consistent with heightened congressional interest in advanced nuclear programs.
