What is the lag between the trade and the public disclosure ? My guess pretty long so probably fairly useless data. [edit] The tweet's one example shows a month for that particular example "This came after purchases of up to $115K of $LMT by Representative Scott Franklin on September 12th, which were disclosed on October 11th."

So can't see how building a trading bot that trades on information at least a month old even if info at the time was good would give any big advantage. This strategy is going to be fairly useless imo over the long term even if you assume the politicians trading was better than the overall market.
