Analysis from the New York Times revealed that 97 current U.S. senators or representatives reported stock trades either they or their immediate families made involving firms working in sectors that overlapped with their committee assignments.
Between the years 2019 and 2021, more than 3,700 reported trades involved such potential conflicts of interest, the outlet found .
The STOCK Act allows members of Congress to trade stocks and bonds as long as they do not use inside information and disclose any transactions by them or their family amounting to $1,000 or more within 45 days, the Times noted.
The 3,700 trades the outlet highlighted amounted to more than 10% of total reported trades. Moreover, the Times found that 13 lawmakers or their families bought or sold shares of companies their committees were investigating during the analysis’s three-year purview.
The outlet further highlighted the independent wealth of congressional spouses and their activities as a source of many of the questionable transactions. It notably did not address financial transactions by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi or her husband due to the speaker not sitting on any committees.
Republicans and Democrats both have made pushes to tighten restrictions on stock trading for incumbent lawmakers. The Times, in particular, highlighted a measure from Republican Texas Rep. Chip Roy to require the placement of lawmakers’ assets into blind trusts.
“The American people don’t want us day trading for profit, and engaging in active trading of the very equities that are connected to the policies that we are deciding on and voting on every day,” he said.
With food shortages coming, it’s a smart move to order organic, cooked, freeze-dried chicken for long-term storage from Prepper Organics.
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
