House · 2026 ballot ·

Nancy Pelosi is U.S. Representative, California-11 in California. Political positions and ideology score -47 (Left). The MSM fight is ‘Pelosi trades.’ The file is worse and more ordinary: a speaker household whose brokerage looked like a Silicon Valley hedge fund, disclosed in ranges so wide they were a joke, while she ran the chamber that writes the tax code those stocks depend on.

Background & record

The MSM fight is ‘Pelosi trades.’ The file is worse and more ordinary: a speaker household whose brokerage looked like a Silicon Valley hedge fund, disclosed in ranges so wide they were a joke, while she ran the chamber that writes the tax code those stocks depend on. A ban would have been the easy story. The ranges were the story.

Modeled midpoints from public disclosures — not an audit of any household.

The salary is a rounding error. Paul Pelosi’s brokerage account — Nvidia, Apple, Tesla in public filings — is the chart. She entered Congress already comfortable; the household became a market event.

Paul Pelosi’s brokerage is the chart. She discloses ranges so wide they are a joke; the tickers are not. NVIDIA, Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Broadcom — the same names the House writes industrial policy for.
