Congress Trades Filed Early August 2026: Delaney Batch and Tuberville Backlog

Congressional stock trades filed in early August 2026 split into two very different stories: a fast-turn House portfolio shuffle from Rep. April McClain Delaney and a massive Senate backlog dump from Sen. Tommy Tuberville. As of August 7, 2026, ProBors shows 221 deduplicated disclosure rows with filing dates from August 1 through August 5—spanning seven members across both chambers. Filing lag in this window runs from 1 day on Delaney's late-July trades to more than 600 days on some Tuberville lines tied to 2024 trade dates. This is research context, not investment advice.

Snapshot summary

ProBors sorts congressional disclosures by filing date. In the August 1–5 filing window:

• 221 rows after deduplication (identical politician, ticker, type, trade date, filing date, amount, and chamber removed)
• 7 politicians filed in this window: Tuberville (144 rows), Delaney (59 rows), Rick Scott (9 rows), Capito (5 rows), Beyer (2 rows), Doggett (1 row), and Whitehouse (1 row)
• Chamber split: 62 House rows, 159 Senate rows
• Transaction mix: 64 purchases, 157 sales (including partial sales and exchanges)
• Signal tiers: 7 Notable rows, 70 Normal, 144 without a scored tier in this batch
• Filing lag: 1-day minimum (Delaney's July 31 trades filed August 1), 572-day median, 880-day maximum on the oldest Tuberville backlog lines
• Notable clusters: Delaney's 59-line August 1 House batch (mostly 1- to 17-day lag), Tuberville's 144-line August 5 Senate dump (trade dates stretching back to 2024), and Capito's five-line tech trim filed August 4

The early-August wave is larger than late July's 15-row batch but driven by two members filing in bulk rather than broad participation. Over the prior 14 days, Life Time Group (LTH) leads congressional ticker activity in ProBors with five purchase lines—mostly from Delaney's August 1 filing.

Recent disclosures worth a closer look

The table below shows deduplicated rows from ProBors as of August 7, 2026. Lag is calendar days between transaction date and filing date as reported in each disclosure.

How to read this without overfitting:

• Delaney's August 1 batch spans 59 House rows filed on one date, with trade dates from early July through July 31. Most lines carry 1- to 17-day lag—the fastest turnaround in this snapshot. Purchases cluster in LTH, FWONK, CHRW, and BWXT; partial sales appear in STE, MKL, and CPAY.
• Capito's August 4 trim is a compact five-line Senate sale batch tied to July 21 trade dates. All five are sales across CSCO, KO, INTC, AAPL, and MSFT—the MSFT line carries the highest signal score in her batch.
• Tuberville's August 5 dump is the dominant story by row count: 144 Senate lines filed on one date, with trade dates reaching back to August 2024. That pattern looks like a periodic backlog filing, not same-week trading activity.
• Scott's August 3 filings are municipal bond transactions without equity tickers—purchases and sales of revenue bonds in the $250,001–$1,000,000 brackets. Treat these as fixed-income disclosures, not stock picks.
• Doggett's KO purchase is a single House line with a 35-day lag from a July 1 trade date—modest and easy to verify against the original PTR.

Filing lag in plain language

STOCK Act disclosures are periodic reports, not live trade feeds. In this early-August snapshot:

• Fastest: Delaney's July 31 LTH purchase at 1-day lag—traded July 31, filed August 1
• Typical for fresh trades: Capito and Whitehouse at 14-day lag on July 20–21 trade dates
• Moderate delay: Doggett's KO purchase at 35-day lag from a July 1 trade date
• Backlog filings: Tuberville's August 5 batch carries a 572-day median lag across all 144 rows, with some lines tied to 2024 trade dates filed more than 600 days later

When a headline says a senator "just disclosed" dozens of sales, check both dates. An August 5 filing may bundle transactions from late 2024 or early 2025. For the rules behind that gap, see STOCK Act filing delay explained.

How to research this week's filings on ProBors

1. Open Congressional trades and sort by filing date descending to mirror this snapshot.
2. Filter by House when you want batches like Delaney's August 1 portfolio shuffle.
3. Filter by Senate and search a politician name to isolate backlog dumps like Tuberville's August 5 filing.
4. Sort by signal score when you want to triage Notable rows—Capito's MSFT sale is a good example—before reading every line.
5. Cross-check any notable row against the original PTR or Senate eFD PDF before citing it in notes or journalism.

For Capito's CSCO line specifically, see the deeper CSCO congressional disclosures guide for cross-chamber context.

What this does not prove

A filing date in early August does not mean the politician traded that week. Tuberville's 144-row batch includes sales tied to December 2025 and earlier trade dates—filed August 5, but not executed in August. Delaney's fast-turn batch shows active portfolio management, but partial sales and purchases across dozens of tickers do not point to a single thesis. Capito's tech trim is five sales in the $1,001–$50,000 brackets—modest size bands that may reflect rebalancing rather than a directional call. None of these disclosures establish non-public information, committee conflict, or timing around pending legislation. They are public records worth reading carefully, not trade signals.

FAQ

How many congressional trades were filed in early August 2026?

ProBors shows 221 deduplicated disclosure rows with filing dates from August 1 through August 5, 2026, across seven politicians. The count is after removing identical politician-ticker-type-date-amount-chamber duplicates.

Why did Tommy Tuberville file so many trades on August 5?

Tuberville's August 5 Senate filing contains 144 rows with trade dates stretching back to 2024 and 2025. That pattern is consistent with a periodic backlog disclosure rather than a single week of trading. Always compare the transaction date to the filing date before drawing conclusions.

Which tickers appeared most in congressional filings recently?

Over the prior 14 days in ProBors, Life Time Group (LTH) leads with five purchase lines—mostly from Delaney's August 1 batch. Markel (MKL), Steris (STE), and CH Robinson (CHRW) also appear multiple times in the same filing window.

How fast do House members file compared to Senate members in this batch?

Delaney's House rows filed August 1 carry 1- to 30-day lag on trade dates from early to late July. Capito's and Whitehouse's Senate rows filed August 3–4 show 14-day lag on July 20–21 trades. Tuberville's Senate backlog is a separate category—median lag exceeds 500 days.

Where can I verify these rows against original filings?

Each House PTR is available through the House Clerk's disclosure search. Senate reports are published through the Senate eFD system. Rows were checked in ProBors and should be verified against the original filing.
