I don't understand why Nancy Pelosi is always singled out. According to the Motley Fool, she wasn't even in the top 5 in returns in 2023. Even if you single out the Democrats, she wasn't in the top 3.

Her getting singled out might have to do with the 20 years she's served as head of the Democrats in the house of representatives and the numerous failures of her tenure.

Ro Khanna is number one! Wtf?

It's ranked by number of trades, not volume of money, capital gains, or ROI. He's likely just running an algorithm.

Even by volume, he's number two with 94 million.

That's $22k traded 4.5k times. There's very little to be inferred except he's made about 12 trades per day.
