[1]Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for Congress

We have somehow conditioned ourselves to believe that it is normal for
members of Congress — who swore an oath to the people — to day-trade
individual stocks and make millions with the sensitive information we are
entrusted with to serve.

How can anyone possibly make an objective vote on health care, energy, or
war when their personal money is tied up in pharmaceutical companies, oil
companies, or defense companies' stocks? You can't.

We saw this play out last week with Trump's corrupt, disastrous, and
rushed tariff scheme. We saw Marjorie Taylor Greene buy that dip.

I've got one question for her: how much did you make? How much did you
make off of people's despair? How much did you make off that panic? How
much did you make off that suffering?

No more. We can't accept it.

I hope you see now that it was all about manipulating the markets so he
could quietly enrich his friends who bought the dip before reversing it
all in the morning.

All while our seniors and retirees suffered.

Donald Trump is a criminal who makes himself rich, the billionaires who
back him rich, and the members of Congress who collude with him rich — but
not you or any working person in this country.

To be clear, I don't care what party you are, it doesn't matter how
powerful or what positions you have: members of Congress holding and
trading individual stock is wrong. It is corrosive, it is destructive, and
it must be banned.

You can run the tape: I have always held this position, whether it was
Democrats or Republicans in charge. We deserve better.

But now, we will have to fight harder than ever to prevent our country
from becoming a personal slush fund for Trump and the GOP.
