Congress just passed a sweeping bipartisan bill to crack down on lawmakers trading individual stocks, sparking debate over ethics, transparency, and financial freedom. The “Stop Insider Trading Act” targets personal stock purchases by lawmakers, spouses, and dependents—with exceptions for certain funds and mandatory 7–14 day advance notice before sales. Penalties and ethics reviews await violations. While critics argue it’s not a full ban since selling is still allowed, this marks the most significant reform since 2012. Some lawmakers admit their families’ trades are active, while others claim they’re hands-off, managed by third parties. The bill’s Senate fate remains uncertain, complicated by a controversial voter ID amendment. The public’s trust in elected officials hangs in the balance.
