📉 The Congressional Stock Trading Scandal reignites controversy

Calls to ban stock trading among members of Congress have resurfaced following the revelation that Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene purchased stocks worth up to $315,000 before former President Donald Trump announced a temporary suspension of tariffs, leading to a significant market surge. This incident has sparked accusations of market manipulation and insider trading for personal gain. In this context, a new bill known as the "Congressional Stock Trading Ban Act" (H.R.1908) has been introduced, aimed at preventing members of Congress and their families from trading stocks while in public office. This development is considered a step towards enhancing transparency and trust in legislative institutions. 🏛️📊#CongressTradingBan
