Hold onto your wallets, folks -- Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) is shaking up Capitol Hill with a bold move to ban stock trading by members of Congress, as Breitbart reports.

Frustrated by stagnant progress on insider trading reforms, Luna has filed a discharge petition to force a House vote on the issue, joining a bipartisan coalition and responding to public outcry over lawmakers potentially profiting from privileged information.

This isn’t just a whim; Luna’s push comes after discussions with Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN), who is equally fed up with the status quo.

Luna and Allies Demand Action Now

In a video shared on X, formerly Twitter, Luna declared the petition “live now,” signaling the formal launch of this effort to curb what many see as blatant corruption.

She didn’t mince words, pointing fingers at House leadership for dragging their feet on a problem that’s been festering for far too long. If they’ve got a better plan to tackle this mess, Luna says she’s all ears -- but until then, this petition is the path forward.

“Now if leadership wants to put forward a bill, that would actually do that, and end the corruption we’re all for it,” Luna stated, throwing down a gauntlet to those in power.

Bipartisan Frustration Fuels the Fight

Let’s be real -- when both sides of the aisle agree on something, you know it’s a big deal. Luna called this effort “the most bipartisan thing in U.S. history,” a rare moment of unity in a divided Congress.

Burchett, for his part, didn’t hold back either, painting a grim picture of the current state of affairs with his blunt assessment of Congress as “a complete open sewer.” His frustration is palpable, and it’s hard not to nod along when you see lawmakers seemingly playing the stock market with inside tips.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has also jumped into the fray, backing a single-stock trading ban and questioning the jaw-dropping returns some lawmakers have reportedly racked up.

Eye-Popping Returns Raise Ethical Questions

Bessent, speaking earlier on Bloomberg Television, highlighted the suspicious financial gains of figures like Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR). He argued that such profits would make any hedge fund green with envy, raising serious ethical red flags.

“The American people deserve better than this,” Bessent insisted, hammering home the point that public service shouldn’t be a get-rich-quick scheme. It’s a sentiment that cuts through the partisan noise -- Washington isn’t Wall Street.

Adding fuel to the fire, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) has been pushing his own legislation, dubbed the PELOSI Act, which aims to block lawmakers and their families from trading or holding stocks.

PELOSI Act Targets Insider Advantage

Hawley, speaking on The Alex Marlow Show, tied the bill directly to Pelosi, suggesting her family’s financial wins hint at an unfair advantage. Is it genius-level investing, or something more troubling tied to Capitol Hill briefings? The question lingers like a bad smell.

This growing movement isn’t just about one politician or party -- it’s about restoring trust in a system that often feels rigged against the average American. While progressive agendas might cheer for more regulation in other areas, conservatives can rally behind this as a stand against cronyism and elitism in our own government.

Luna’s discharge petition could be the spark needed to finally light a fire under House leadership, forcing them to confront an issue that’s long been swept under the rug. If successful, it might just prove that even in a polarized era, common sense can still win the day -- or at least get a fair hearing on the House floor.
