A recent proposal to ban stock trading by politicians, spearheaded by Luna, is intensifying the political drama in Washington as it faces resistance from the White House. The Biden administration is actively lobbying against the bill, which has raised concerns regarding the implications of Congressional stock gains on democracy. This controversy is highlighted by millions of dollars in stock trading among lawmakers linked to tariffs, revealing a growing problem of ethical standards in Congress. The situation adds pressure on Speaker Mike Johnson, as Republican Senators like Hawley are already creating challenges for leadership amidst discussions about Congressional ethics scandals and market timing.
