They 100 should not be allowed to trade stocks. They should be limited to mutual funds or similar. I dont feel sorry for them, they getting g paid so much u der the table already.
This is one of the few things in America that the vast majority of both Democrats and Republicans agree on. Theoretically, it should pass but of course the people it impacts are going to try their best to prevent it from going thru.

This is about as bipartisan an issue you can have, from the perspective of the people. Public servants that make our laws, and have advance intelligence about market shifting policies should not be allowed to trade individually. This isn’t left or right. We either restrict this avenue to corrupt behavior, or we accept that they’re not working for the people.

i'd let them trade, they have to give John Q Public a 72 hr heads up that mr congressman is about to buy XYZ.

Every married member of Congress is going to start trading at a rate magnitudes greater than before this rule passes (it won't).

How about we stop crying and do something about it? Rally the states and convene a convention of the states and vote on an amendment to curb this once and for all. Make it so not only they must not trade stocks but also their spouses and must divest all interest in their businesses. It’s the only way we can get folks who actually want to be advocates for their constituents.
Oh and an amendment for term limits.
We can choose to be mad at our reps or we can take ownership ourselves. I choose to take ownership. The framers granted us a recourse for dereliction. Take it.

They’re trying to make this a big thing to Xover for no spending cuts.

Yeah I'm down for no trading while serving in congress.
That includes your spouse.

Cuts in other mandatory spending programs: The congressional budget office (CBO) and the White House mark $1.6–1.7 trillion in mandatory spending savings—the largest in U.S. history.

"Medicaid Millionaire": Louisiana Woman Facing Fraud Charges After Buying Lamborghini While Illegally Collecting Benefits
A Louisiana woman dubbed the “Medicaid millionaire” is facing fraud charges after allegedly buying a Lamborghini while illegally collecting Medicaid benefits, according to the state attorney general’s office, reported by Fox News.
Candace Taylor, 35, of Slidell, was arrested Monday after investigators found she underreported her income to qualify for the program. The Louisiana Bureau of Investigation launched its probe after a complaint from the state health department.
The Fox News report says court records say Taylor ran six businesses that brought in over $9.5 million between 2020 and 2024. Bank records show deposits of $480,994, including more than $325,000 linked to her businesses.
From 2021 through 2024, Ms. Taylor continued to transfer tens of thousands of dollars between her personal and business accounts, with personal inflows consistently exceeding the eligibility thresholds for Medicaid,” the affidavit states.
Despite this, Taylor allegedly kept renewing her benefits—most recently claiming $4,000 in monthly income without disclosing she owned the business.
Authorities say her spending included $45,086 in Audi vehicle payments, a $100,000 wire to an exotic car dealer, and $13,000 for a 2022 Lamborghini Urus. She also allegedly withdrew multiple six-figure cashier’s checks for property, cosmetic surgery, jewelry, and luxury services.
Taylor’s first Medicaid application in 2019—filed under the name “Candace Sailor”—was denied. Less than a year later, she re-applied under the same name with inconsistent information about dependents.

I cannot remember exactly when (Bush maybe?) but this issue came up and the Congress supposedly fixed it. It was fueled by the public outrage when they threw Martha Stewart in JAIL for doing what they were routinely doing.
A curse on those who destroy the viability, credibility, faith and Justice in or System via their greed. Disgusting.
