Representative Ro Khanna has called for a vote on a bill, co-authored by RepSpanberger and RepChipRoy, to ban members of Congress from trading stocks, highlighting the need for increased transparency and accountability in Congress. Khanna's request, directed at Speaker Johnson, aims to bring the TRUST Act to the floor, which also proposes banning PAC money and preventing members from becoming lobbyists after their tenure. This move is part of a broader effort to curb potential conflicts of interest and ensure that legislators focus on public service rather than personal gain. Khanna also gave a shoutout to unusual_whales and QuiverQuant for their reporting on suspicious congressional trades.
