Congress Trades & News

Insights from our Congress Trading Dashboard

Several politicians & members of Congress have already made millions of dollars in the stock market in 2025:

Congress heads into this week juggling a packed agenda, with lawmakers racing to finalize a massive annual defense policy bill that actually exceeds President Trump’s own spending request. The package is set to top roughly $890 billion and includes a pay raise for troops, major investments in weapons systems, and new provisions touching everything from Ukraine aid to hot-button cultural issues inside the military ranks.

On the ethics front, pressure is intensifying around a ban on congressional stock trading. A bipartisan coalition in the House is now backing a measure that would prohibit lawmakers and their immediate families from trading individual stocks, with members using procedural maneuvers to try to force a floor vote over leadership’s hesitation. Momentum and public support are clearly building, but with party leaders still divided, the odds of it becoming law this session remain uncertain.

Abroad, Gaza remains at the center of U.S. foreign policy as the American-brokered ceasefire and peace plan moves into a critical second phase. Israel and Hamas are poised to shift from the initial hostage-release and pause in fighting toward negotiations over longer-term arrangements, including security guarantees, potential international forces on the ground, and the future of Hamas’ military capabilities—talks that will bring Israel’s leadership to Washington later this month.

NEWS
Ellison’s All-Cash Offer (WBD) Reshapes the Media M&A Landscape

Paramount Skydance’s (PARA) $108 billion hostile bid for Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) has upended the media landscape, escalating a high-stakes battle for control of one of Hollywood’s most important content libraries. The $30-per-share all-cash proposal surpasses Netflix’s (NFLX) earlier $27.75 cash-and-stock offer and aims to acquire the entire company rather than just its studios and streaming business. CEO David Ellison argued that the bid provides “superior value” and a faster, more certain regulatory path — a claim that will be tested as both sides court shareholders and brace for global antitrust scrutiny.

The offer arrives just days after Warner Bros. agreed to merge parts of its business with Netflix, a deal that includes a planned spinoff of its cable assets such as CNN, TNT and Discovery Channel. Paramount disputes the implied value of that arrangement, asserting that its own offer delivers roughly $18 billion more in cash. Analysts remain divided: some value the spinoff at closer to $2 a share, while Bloomberg Intelligence estimates the cable assets could be worth twice that. The unresolved valuation gap now sits at the center of a sharply intensifying bidding war.

Market Overview:

  • Paramount launches $108B hostile bid, topping Netflix’s offer for Warner Bros. Discovery

  • Warner Bros. shares rise 5.8% while Paramount gains 5% and Netflix drops 4.7%

  • Regulatory scrutiny looms as both bidders face global antitrust and national security reviews

Key Points:

  • Paramount says its all-cash bid delivers $18B more to shareholders than Netflix’s structure

  • Financing includes $11.8B from the Ellison family and $24B from Middle Eastern sovereign funds

  • Breaking the Netflix deal would trigger a $2.8B breakup fee for Warner Bros
