House Republican Leadership’s stock trading proposal – the “Stop Insider Trading Act” – is a cynical empty distraction.

We encourage all members of the House Administration Committee to oppose the bill at tomorrow’s markup.

Join us today at 4:15 pm at the CFPB! @SenWarren, @RepMaxineWaters and consumer advocates will rally to protect the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau against Musk and Trump's attempt to kill the agency. #DefendCFPB

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

President Trump campaigned on lowering costs. But he’s letting billionaire Elon Musk and Project 2025 Architect Russ Vought kill the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

If they succeed, CEOs on Wall Street will once again be free to cheat you out of your savings.

Americans across the political spectrum support the CFPB because the agency protects them from the shadiest most predatory law breaking financial institutions. The CFPB has won over $20 billion in relief for over 200 million consumers. #defendCFPB

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

CFPB RIP 🪦

[Erin Witte @ErinWitteNJ]

DOGE has no place at the @CFPB! Kick them out. @ConsumerFed

BREAKING: Joe Biden told us in an exclusive interview that he thinks members of Congress should be banned from trading stocks.

Our full interview coming soon.

[Archive: Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester]

No member of Congress should be able to use elected office to line their own pockets, period. This is a commonsense reform, and it’s an important step in ensuring elected officials are working for the people of their state, and no one else.

[Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters]

BREAKING NEWS: We just passed my bill to ban members of Congress, the VP, and the president from trading stocks out of @HSGAC!

I'm proud to lead this historic effort as Chair of the committee. Americans deserve the peace of mind that Congress is always working on THEIR behalf.

[Senator Jacky Rosen @SenJackyRosen]

Members of Congress are elected to serve their communities, not enrich themselves by using information gained through their official duties for corrupt stock trading.

[Ossoff's Office @SenOssoff]

BIG NEWS: In a historic step, Sen. Ossoff’s bipartisan bill to ban stock trading by Members of Congress just passed a key U.S. Senate committee — the first-time a Senate Committee has advanced a Congressional Stock Trading Ban.

[20/20 Vision DC @2020_VisionDC]

NEW: The ETHICS Act, the bipartisan bill to ban stock trading by members of Congress just passed out of Committee! We strongly support moving the bill to the Senate floor for a vote as soon as possible. It’s time to get this done!

[Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley]

UPDATE on banning Congressional stock trading: my ETHICS Act was voted out of the Senate @HSGAC Committee!

Next step: the Senate floor.

We have bipartisan momentum on our side to finally get this bill passed. Let's get it done—we’re here to serve the public, not our portfolios.

[20/20 Vision DC @2020_VisionDC]

20/20 Vision joins an 18-group coalition in calling on @HSGAC to support Senators Peters, Merkley, Ossoff and Hawley’s bipartisan effort to advance the ETHICS Act at its markup tomorrow. The bill would ban members of Congress from trading stocks. It’s time to get this done!

[Citizens for Ethics @CREWcrew]

Repeat after us:

Elected officials are supposed to act in the best interests of the public, not their own personal profit. 

Again:

Elected officials are supposed to act in the best interests of the public, not their own personal profit.

[Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley]

Members of Congress are elected to serve the public—not our stock portfolios.

We have bipartisan momentum behind the ETHICS Act to ban lawmakers from buying and trading stocks. It erodes public trust and invites corruption—let’s get this bill passed!

[Sherrod Brown @SenSherrodBrown]

I don’t own a single individual stock — no Member of Congress should. Period.

Today we unveiled a new bipartisan bill that builds off our proposal to ban Congressional stock trading.

[Ossoff's Office @SenOssoff]

BANNING STOCK TRADING: Today, Sen. Ossoff announced a bipartisan path forward to ban stock trading by members of Congress alongside @SenGaryPeters, @SenHawleyPress, and @SenJeffMerkley, with a markup in the Senate Homeland Security Committee later this month.

[20/20 Vision DC @2020_VisionDC]

This agreement would address the inherent conflict of interest that exists when lawmakers own and trade stocks that their decisions can influence while having access to non-public information.

[20/20 Vision DC @2020_VisionDC]

We’re proud to endorse the Peters-Merkley-Hawley-Ossoff agreement to ban members of Congress, the President, the VP, and their spouses and dependent children, from trading stock!

Today’s announcement is huge. The Senate should move quickly to pass the legislation.

[Homeland Security & Govt. Affairs Committee — Dems @HSGAC]

NEWS: @SenGaryPeters, @SenJeffMerkley, @SenHawleyPress, & @SenOssoff announced a bipartisan agreement to advance a bill that bans members from buying, selling, or owning stocks.

The Committee will consider the bill later this month in a historic first for this issue.

[RepresentUs @representus]
