\"Pelosi<\/p>\n

A major showdown over corruption in Washington is finally taking shape \u2014 and it\u2019s happening because President Trump and his America First allies have forced the issue into the spotlight. As part of a sweeping probe into insider trading on Capitol Hill, the House Administration Committee held a critical hearing titled \u201cTaking Stock of the STOCK Act,\u201d led by Rep. Bryan Steil (R-WI). The goal: expose the unethical behavior in Congress and push forward long-delayed reforms that Trump and conservative lawmakers have championed for years.<\/p>\n

The hearing brought in key witnesses from the Taxpayers Protection Alliance and the Manhattan Institute, who laid out just how deep the insider-trading scandal runs in Washington. For the first time in years, Congress is being pressured to take responsibility for the corruption that Trump warned the American people about from day one. These organizations are now urging Congress to adopt real, enforceable reforms \u2014 not just cosmetic fixes.<\/p>\n

Rep. Steil made it clear he intends to tear down the wall of protection that lawmakers have enjoyed for decades. \u201cMembers of Congress should never profit off insider information,\u201d he said. Under Trump\u2019s influence, Republicans have become far more aggressive about rooting out corruption and holding the political elite to account \u2014 something the pre-Trump GOP never had the backbone to do.<\/p>\n

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), one of the most consistent fighters for the Trump agenda, applauded the hearing and renewed calls for his Restore Trust in Congress Act. Roy\u2019s bill would ban members of Congress \u2014 as well as their spouses and families \u2014 from trading stocks altogether. In other words, it would finally shut down a corrupt system that has let politicians get rich while Americans suffer under inflation, bad policy, and stagnant wages.<\/p>\n

Roy rightly pointed out that trust in Congress has collapsed because Americans believe their elected officials are enriching themselves. \u201cThe American people should have faith that Congress is at work for the good of the country, not for their own bank accounts,\u201d he said. And he is correct \u2014 nothing has shattered public trust more than watching lawmakers become multimillionaires on government salaries while blocking Trump\u2019s reforms.<\/p>\n

One of the biggest drivers of this public anger is Nancy Pelosi\u2019s now-infamous history of wildly successful stock trades. Reports indicate Pelosi and her husband raked in roughly\u00a0$130 million<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/strong>\u00a0during her political career \u2014 numbers that raised eyebrows across the political spectrum. Even CNN\u2019s Scott Jennings mocked her astronomical returns, joking that Trump should \u201cput her in charge of Social Security\u201d because \u201cwe could all retire in 6 months\u201d if she managed everyone\u2019s money the way she manages her own.<\/p>\n

Pelosi\u2019s wealth explosion has become a symbol of the Washington Swamp Trump has fought so relentlessly. Social media erupted once again after the hearing, with users pointing out that her net worth has skyrocketed to more than\u00a0<\/p>\n

This is exactly why Trump\u2019s push to \u201cDrain the Swamp\u201d remains more relevant than ever. Insider trading by elected officials is one of the most toxic, corrupting forces in Washington, and the establishment has spent decades ducking accountability. Now, with Trump back in the center of American politics, Republicans are being forced to confront the rot publicly.<\/p>\n

Chairman Steil\u2019s hearing is just the beginning. With Trump\u2019s backing, pressure is mounting for Congress to finally ban stock trading for lawmakers and restore confidence in an institution that has all but collapsed under Democrat corruption. And conservatives are making it clear: the days of politicians using insider access to make themselves rich while betraying the American people must come to an end.<\/p>\n

If Republicans continue following the America First model of transparency and accountability, Congress could finally adopt ethical standards worthy of the citizens they represent \u2014 not the political insiders who have turned Capitol Hill into their personal investment club. Trump started this fight, and now his allies are carrying it forward. The swamp is shaking \u2014 and for the first time in years, reform is actually on the table.<\/p>\n

House Republican leaders are weighing harsh action against Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) after her recent remarks about the late Charlie Kirk drew widespread condemnation.<\/p>\n

Rep. Buddy Carter (R-Ga.), who is running for U.S. Senate, is leading an effort to strip Omar of her committee assignments. Carter accused her and the \u201cradical left\u201d of normalizing the practice of meeting free speech with violence.<\/p>\n

On Monday, the Georgia Republican introduced a motion to remove Omar from the House Budget Committee and the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, where she serves as the ranking Democrat on the Subcommittee on Workforce Protections.<\/p>\n

Critics seized on Omar\u2019s remarks last week in an interview with former MSNBC anchor Mehdi Hasan, where she said Charlie Kirk\u2019s death reminded her of his past positions on gun control.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut what I do know for sure is that Charlie Kirk was someone who once said, \u2018Guns save lives\u2019 after a school shooting,\u201d Omar said. \u201cCharlie was someone who was willing to debate and downplay the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police \u2026 downplay slavery and what Black people have gone through in this country by saying Juneteenth should never exist.\u201d<\/p>\n

Omar then disagreed with commentators who framed Kirk as \u201cjust wanting to have a civil debate,\u201d which led Hasan to call falsely label their characterization a \u201ccomplete rewriting of history.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah,\u201d Omar responded. \u201cThere is nothing more effed up than to completely pretend that his words and actions have not been recorded and in existence for the last decade or so.\u201d She went on to accuse President Donald Trump of \u201cincit[ing] violence against people like me,\u201d though she has never been attacked or assaulted by someone on the right.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese people are full of s**t,\u201d Omar told Hasan about Republicans in general. \u201cAnd it\u2019s important for us to call them out while we feel anger and sadness, and have, you know, empathy, which Charlie said, \u2018No, it shouldn\u2019t exist,\u2019 because that\u2019s a newly created word or something.\u201d<\/p>\n

She later tried to walk back her remarks on X, but Carter and some other Republican lawmakers aren\u2019t having it.<\/p>\n

\u201cDisparaging Charlie Kirk\u2019s legacy, a God-fearing, honorable man, for boldly sharing his conservative beliefs is disgusting. The radical left has normalized meeting free speech with violence, and it must stop,<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one who justifies the assassination of someone with different political views than them deserves to sit on a committee, and Ilhan Omar openly used language that incites violence toward her political opponents. Committees are for serious lawmakers, not hate-spewing politicians,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Kirk, 31, founder of Turning Point USA, was assassinated last week during a campus speaking event at Utah Valley University, sparking national outrage, a massive manhunt, and renewed debate over political violence in America.<\/p>\n

He was delivering remarks under a tent to a crowd of roughly 3,000 students and supporters on September 10 when a sniper-style shot struck him in the neck. He was rushed to a nearby hospital but died shortly afterward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
