The bill, whose title is “Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments (PELOSI) Act,” takes a dig at its namesake, Nancy Pelosi.

Sen. Josh Hawley wants to bar lawmakers and their spouses from owning and trading stocks while in office by proposing the ‘PELOSI Act.’

“For too long, politicians in Washington have taken advantage of the economic system they write the rules for, turning profits for themselves at the expense of the American people,”“As members of Congress, both Senators and Representatives are tasked with providing oversight of the same companies they invest in, yet they continually buy and sell stocks, outperforming the market time and again.”

Does elonmusk agree? ITS INSIDER TRADING!!!

His head is really shaped like an egg.

He's right

Some Dems have been fighting for this for years yet Reps don’t vote for it! Bottom line the establishment on both sides are making too much money. Hypocrisy

Thank God!

I hate him but I am 💯 for banning government officials of all levels from trading stocks. This must happen

A Republican with a good idea? There's a first time for everything I guess.

He touched some nerves there.

On second thought, let's not have a Proletarian Congress.

YEEEEEEEEEESSSS PLEEEEASE!!!

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

it won't pass. they are all scumbags.

Brilliant!

Facts matter:

I haven’t read the bill but it is a good idea. It’s stupid to name it the Pelosi act as at least as many republicans as democrats are trading with insider knowledge.

Lol doesn't he know more gop do that

..because Pelosi is the ONLY one that has profited on stocks while in congress....🙄

Josh Hawley also should introduce ~The Hawley Don’t Run From Insurrection Act ~ HawleyMO

Yet he voted against Senator Warren's identical bill...just like Josh..always running hard for attention

No matter what he says or does…in my mind I will always see him like this👇🏼 😏🤭

If he really wanted it to pass, he would not have named it what he did.

Can’t he just be normal 🙄 Like everyone can get behind the concept of this bill. Maybe he should consider not being a shady bitch for owning the libs points 🙄

The 5th graders at recess will certainly giggle at the name.

Explanation: The Southern Baptist love every one, Black and White, and they love Yankees!

Finally! But I’m afraid it won’t happen. He would also have to stop the wartime money laundering. Nice try thou

Should be All lawmakers & their immediate families. Congress making a fortune on information - ie insider trading If your spouse, children , siblings trade and you provided material information. That's a huge no no If it's Considered insider trading for the rest of us

it’s a good idea, but naming it after someone in the opposing party (especially when plenty of your colleagues are guilty of the exact same thing) is a clown move. not like it’ll pass anyway so it’s a moot point

Josh Hawley introduces PELOSI Act to bar lawmakers from trading stocks and profiting while in officeSen. Josh Hawley has introduced a bill specifically named after former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that would prevent congressional insider trading by members or their families. do you think he named it that so it would be rejected so he can point score, it actually doesn't matter if they had to just release their finances as a matter of course as all in public life should Good, it will affect Republicans more than Democrats Are you crasy? If there were no hidden profits and low cost confiscated IRS real estate to be picked up for nothing, these clowns would never run for office! Then we would be forced to elect real leaders who would not tolerate all this bull shit !!!
