#CongressTradingBan

The tag #CongressTradingBan refers to legislative efforts in the United States to prevent members of Congress and their families from trading individual stocks, aiming to avoid conflicts of interest and the misuse of insider information. This issue gained significant momentum due to widespread public support and criticisms of suspicious trading, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2024 and 2025, bills such as the "No Corruption in Government Act" were introduced to impose a trading ban and place assets in blind trusts, with suggestions to increase penalties and extend the ban on political lobbying.
