Every senator and member of Congress should immediately and voluntarily disclose any stock, bond, or similar trades they have made in the last ten days.

Yeah, like THAT will happen....they SHOULD do a lot of things! It would be great if they would start by telling the truth, stop enriching themselves at the cost of the people, and actually do what any decent person would consider is right!
You would think they'd be banned from buying stocks just so that there would not be a hint of impropriety. To make sure that no one would manipulate there stocks... but no they can.
Every single criminal and gang member should immediately and voluntarily confess and provide evidence for any crime or conspiracy to commit a crime or similar that they have been party to in the last ten days.
Nice, though it should include anyone in the Trump orbit, e.g. Cabinet members, advisors, etc. And BTW, where is Susie Wiles? Is she still Chief of Staff?
We will all shout into the void about insider trading (gasp!) for a couple of days and then *poof* it will be gone like every other treacherous act being committed on a daily basis. There's just too many.
The fact that neither party has passed legislation to stop insider trading for public officials is another example of how we have been creeping towards fascism for a very very long time and both parties didn't do enough to stop a single mad man from taking advantage of the road they paved.
Most members of Congress should resign because they're useless standing up what's going on. I couldn't care less about insider trading right now, I care that they stop our rapid descent into fascism.
Enough. Either Congress doesn't trade. Or every member must disclose stock, bond & crypto trades held personally or in a holdco, trust. Or made by direct family members or in their holdcos or trust. All trades to be reviewed by the SEC. At least disclose to Americans how much they're scamming!
That will never happen. Especially when they write the laws governing their own behavior. It's like expecting the SCOTUS to actually police themselves.
Thing is, there are no checks, no balances. No one will be bringing SEC charges, ethics violations in Congress, etc. No one in power will turn on themselves.
This where I am perplexed. You say "should" as though anyone in this lawless administration would do the right and legal thing when asked. The thing they "should". A bit like signing a petition for impeachment. None of it will ever happen until there are dire consequences to them.
Conor, your heart is in the right place, but forget it. Do you think for one second that Chuck Schumer wants anybody taking a deep dive into his Horn of Plenty?

That's how this sounds
I’m 100% open to that.
Nothing
The Republicans made big bank. They loved his 'business deal'.
Trump already has a new screaming con job already working to take our attention away from this one.
We the People get shafted again.
and MAGA laughs.
When they don't, speculate on the news and social media about why they didn't!
Got any thoughts and prayers to go along with that request?

Not gonna happen. They don’t give a damn what we think. This is full force dictatorship.
