AOC teams up with Republicans to ban Congress stock trading… An unexpected group of lawmakers joined forces to introduce the Restore Trust in Congress Act, a bipartisan bill aimed at banning stock trading by members of Congress and enforcing strict accountability measures. Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) criticized the system: “The American taxpayer always gets the short end of the stick… it’s got to stop.” So, he stood alongside colleagues he often disagrees with—proving that collaboration doesn’t require agreement on everything. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) reflected on the process: when disagreements are put aside and common ground becomes the focus, the final outcome can be stronger than any individual plan. It’s a reminder that Washington can work when public interest comes first. #politics #aoc #timburchett #politics #stocktrading #congress #unity
