Lawmakers on Thursday called for the passage of the PELOSI Act to ban congressional stock in honor of Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) retirement.

“She’ll be the opportunity to finally ban stock trading by members of Congress. Nobody made more, I think, than her,” Hawley told reporters on Thursday. […]

Hawley in April reintroduced the Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments (PELOSI) Act, which would ban lawmakers and their spouses from purchasing or selling individual stocks. …

Lawmakers Call to Pass ‘PELOSI Act’ Banning Congressional Stock Trading in Honor of Nancy Pelosi’s Retirement

I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for those scumbags in DC to put any limit on themselves.

Well, Hawley brought it in back in April, but waiting for her retirement to try to turn it into a bandwagon is an insult to the voters/taxpayers of course; typical of RINO behavior.

“Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-California) and her husband, Paul Pelosi, have seen their net worth skyrocket in 2024, dramatically surpassing the stock market by a long measure with a staggering 54% return.

The Pelosis have amassed investment gains that significantly outperform the top hedge funds and the S&P 500. According to The New York Post, the couple’s net worth surged to $413 million from their 2023 net worth of $370 million.”

Sorry this had to be from Newsweek but it’s the best one:
How Nancy Pelosi’s Net Worth Changed Dramatically in Congress. November 6, 2025.
One excerpt:
“Their 2024 portfolio returned 54%. More than double the market’s 25% and crushing every major hedge fund. Paul exercised Nvidia call options at $12 per share when the market price was 10 times higher, netting nearly $5 million. They sold Microsoft before an FTC antitrust probe. They dumped Visa before a DOJ monopoly lawsuit,” Michael Ryan, a finance expert and the founder of MichaelRyanMoney.com, told Newsweek.

“This is the John Kerry ketchup fortune scenario, except Pelosi sits on committees that regulate the exact companies her husband trades. When you have access to classified briefings and regulatory power, buying Tesla before Biden announces EV mandates raises questions.”

It’s always amazed me why insider trading is illegal for citizens, but needs legislation to make it illegal for politicians.

I thought it was the Bee.

Is this a joke?

If lawmakers are really against stocks trading while in congress, they can prove it by telling all those that did trading, to give back the earnings they made while in congress. Call it ‘ill-gotten gains’.

[b4me]

Pelosi Act sounds like an honor or something to do.
Should be called “Greedy Pelosi Act” or something so that people know she wasn’t acting honorably.

[ealgeone]

Thought it was the Bee at first.
