Remember when Marjorie Taylor Greene bought up to $15,000 in defense and energy stocks *two days* before Russian forces invaded Ukraine?

We really, I mean really, need to ban members of Congress from trading stocks.

@rbreich

Such a quaint idea - that "we" - mere subjects would do something that would limit those who spent their days making-up new limitations to impose on us - often for no other purpose than the entertainment of the cruelty they can inflict.

@rbreich That, or elect to Congress only people who are not corrupt. Yeah, OK, that's even less likely to happen.
@rbreich but then how would they get rich in office? They might have to start taking bribes outright then. 😉

@rbreich

Government officials should be forced:
1) to sell significant holdings
2) put proceeds into a blind trust
3) never trade directly

They are entrusted to do the People’s business.

Act like it.
