Some colleagues argue that members of Congress should have the same right as anyone else to trade individual stocks, but when you take the oath of office, you accept responsibilities that ordinary citizens do not.

It is a simple reform with an important goal: ensuring that lawmakers make decisions for the country and not for their investment portfolios.
Members of Congress, their spouses, their dependent children, and any trustees acting on their behalf would be prohibited from owning, buying, or selling individual stocks, securities, commodities, futures, and comparable assets while in office.
This legislation would finally establish a clear and enforceable standard.
That erosion of trust is dangerous. It feeds cynicism, it fuels division, and it weakens our democracy.
That is why I am proud to be an original cosponsor of the bipartisan Restore Trust in Congress Act.
Members of both parties have made trades in sectors they oversee. Some bought or sold stocks at the outset of the pandemic while the public was still being told everything was under control. Even when no laws are technically broken, the appearance of conflict is enough to damage faith in Congress.
We did it because trust matters, and you cannot ask voters to believe in your judgment if your financial interests overlap with the industries you regulate.
Since then the problem has become even more obvious.
For 8 years I’ve said the same thing: if you want to serve in Congress, you must serve the public and not your stock portfolio.
That principle guided me from the moment I first ran for office in 2017.
My wife and I divested every individual stock we owned and moved into diversified mutual funds.
Ghislaine Maxwell trafficked children and is now in a low-security prison because the Trump Administration approved her transfer. One set of rules for the powerful and another for everyone else.
This is what corruption looks like.

Deputy Speaker Mike Johnson is presiding over a collapsing caucus because he handed the Speakership to Donald Trump. Trump gives the orders and Johnson follows them. That is why he’s the weakest Speaker in generations and why Americans in both parties are tired of the dysfunction.

At West Point, cadets walk past a plaque that says officers must follow the law if orders ever conflict with it. That is how our military has protected this nation for generations.
When 6 members of Congress, all who served, reaffirmed that simple principle, the President called it “treason.”
That reaction says more about him than it does about them.

Another terrible decision.
“During the Covid-19 pandemic, Dr. Ralph Lee Abraham promoted discredited treatments like ivermectin and, as Louisiana’s surgeon general, halted the state’s mass vaccination campaign.”

Musk walked away.
Seniors, workers, and families are the ones who paid the price.
DOGE was Elon Musk’s grand experiment in running our government like one of his companies: big promises, reckless cuts, and real people left hurting.
Now it’s been quietly shut down eight months early because it never came close to delivering the savings he bragged about.

My wife Chrissy and I stand one million percent with @captmarkkelly.bsky.social and his amazing wife, @gabbygiffords.bsky.social. They are true patriots and the best of the best.

This weekend confirmed what many suspected.
Some of the loudest MAGA voices on X aren’t even American.
They’re foreign operators posing as us to fracture our democracy. 🧵👇
