📢 BREAKING: If Trump is serious about banning insider trading in Congress, let’s go all the way and ban lawmakers from owning stocks too.

That’s what Sen. Elizabeth Warren is demanding after the SOTU call to pass a stock trading ban — not just weak disclosure rules.

If Congress won’t pass a real ban on insider trading & stock ownership, they’re part of the problem — not the solution.

Ban members from owning or trading stocks while in office. Period.

📉 No conflicts

🧑‍⚖️ More trust

🇺🇸 Real accountability

Yesterday’s State of the Union saw President Trump call on Congress to pass the Stop Insider Trading Act, which would ban lawmakers (and spouses/dependents) from buying individual stocks and require notice before sales.

Sen. Warren applauded that call — but pushed further: if the goal is genuine reform, Congress needs a law that truly bans lawmakers from holding or trading stocks.

The bill Trump referenced has bipartisan support but has struggled to advance — critics say it still contains loopholes and doesn’t go far enough.

Public reaction is mixed, but many voters see this as a rare win for clean-government reform, cutting out a major source of perceived conflicts of interest.

Warren and others argue this would restore trust in government — whoever wins elections shouldn’t be able to profit from inside knowledge.

A ban on lawmakers owning stocks removes a class of informed traders from markets — could reduce volatility tied to Washington newsflow and insider advantage if enforced strongly. More clarity = fairer markets.
