#CongressTradingBan Personally, I think the #CongressTradingBan is a very important step toward promoting integrity and transparency in politics. When politicians are allowed to trade stocks while having access to non-public, insider information, it opens the door to conflicts of interest and personal gain, which damages public trust.

Imagine a lawmaker making decisions or voting on policies that directly affect industries they’re personally invested in—it’s only natural for people to question their motives.

This ban doesn’t stop them from investing entirely—it just ensures they do it in a way that’s blind and impartial, like through a blind trust. It’s a move to remind them that public service should be about the people, not profits.
