No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks.
We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

Not a week or 3 weeks or a few months or quarterly later.
Nothing less than immediate real time disclosures.
If we can't bar them from insider trading we should at least make it as transparent as possible.
Does she regulate the companies she trades? (Giving her inside access to private information?)
You can’t just say owning and trading stock is automatically unethical.
But all trading should end because of the potential conflicts.
She’s on our side.
It takes a special kind of person to think that people will ban what’s making them rich.

Not trades.
All her wealth is in mutual funds real estate etc.
Sometimes people make money. LEGITIMATELY.
Get used to it.
There are 534 other members of congress - your choice is to go after the one yelling the loudest to do the right thing?
She’s literally walking the walk. You can’t “call out hypocrisy” about someone who’s not hypocritical.
😂
Let's move this forward ?
But most Americans agree with you…
So why are these clowns in office again?!?

Let’s just say it:
Nancy Pelosi. She is supposed to be a liberal - but she has more in common with republican billionaires than she has in common with working class Americans. (That’s why they are still trading stocks.)
this should have always been a requirement
And always enforced!!!
