🚨 BREAKING: Rep. Anna Paulina Luna just said House leadership is trying to pressure her into NOT bringing a petition to pass a ban on Congressional stock trading."I was told that I was 'putting the republic in jeopardy' because 'I was going to cost us the midterms' if I brought this to the floor. What I'm trying to do is save the republic. If you think that's the biggest problem we have in this country maybe you should not be in a leadership position.""I can tell you I got a lot of pushback from leadership. I received calls from other members of Congress as well saying that what we were doing was 'going to hurt people.'""I'm trying to do a discharge petition because Congress has continuously messaged on this but refuses to bring a bill to the floor that would force members to vote.""Either put it on the ground and let us vote or you can continue to lie to the American people on your position on thinking you should defend insider trading when everyone knows it's bipartisan and needs to stop." - @RepLunahttps://x.com/ericldaugh/status/1950718185168064512?s=12
