🚨 Congressional Stock Trading Under Fire

Recent events have reignited debates over lawmakers trading stocks:

Marjorie Taylor Greene reportedly purchased significant stocks shortly before a major policy announcement that boosted markets.

Former President Trump faced criticism for a social media post encouraging stock purchases just before announcing a 90-day tariff pause, leading to substantial market gains.

These incidents have intensified calls for reform:

Rep. Tim Burchett introduced the End Congressional Stock Trading Act (H.R.1908), aiming to prohibit members of Congress and their families from trading individual stocks.

Bipartisan efforts are underway, with lawmakers like Reps. Krishnamoorthi, Fitzpatrick, Mills, and Ocasio-Cortez reintroducing legislation to ban such practices.

Public trust is at stake. Should lawmakers be allowed to trade stocks while in office?
