#CongressTradingBan

The #CongressTradingBan debate has intensified after revelations that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene bought stocks in Amazon and Tesla just before Trump’s tariff pause announcement. While Greene claims her advisor made the trades independently, critics see it as potential insider trading. This has renewed bipartisan efforts to ban congressional stock trading. Bills like the “End Congressional Stock Trading Act” and “No Corruption in Government Act” aim to stop lawmakers and their families from trading individual stocks. Currently, the STOCK Act only requires disclosures and small fines. As more disclosures emerge, public pressure to pass stricter laws is growing rapidly.
