# US Disclosures
|
|
Simple python app to track US Disclosurs forms, where members of congress post their investments. Script checks if there are any new disclosures for specified members and if there are, those disclosures will be sent as a telegram message. Data is from [https://disclosures-clerk.house.gov/FinancialDisclosure](https://disclosures-clerk.house.gov/FinancialDisclosure)
