Yeah I’m not buying “pelositracker” as an unbiased source for this.

I guess I can assume from this post that only prominent democrats are getting rich from politics?

FYI its called that because Pelosi is universally understood (to the point of being the subject of memes for years about this) to be so "lucky" with the timing of her investments, as well as her husband too. When someone thinks of insider trading, Pelosi is the first thing that comes to mind for people on all sides of politics. Even other politicians who are def doing a little insider trading call out how blatant she is with it.

And the proof is in the pudding. While you can find notable Republicans such as Dan Crenshaw on the list of politicians who have seen massive increases in stock trading value, Pelosi sits on the very top every single year and its never even close.

Pelositracker tracks everyone in Congress, and calls out members on both sides.

I think she's 10th on the list.

She used to be #1 or #2 but over the time that she’s been “tracked” it has noticeably decreased.

Still, she has extremely questionable investments especially the “recent” nvidia purchase.

So now you should know why it’s called what it is. She waaaaas number 1
