🗣 Quotes of the week "I don’t think this is a partisan issue. I think #Americans 🇺🇲 want to see this issue addressed. … Passing it with the numbers we did, with the bipartisan support I think shows a strong push to the Senate where we hope we can get it all across the line and signed into law." - U.S. Rep. Bryan Steil, R-Janesville, touting the House passage of his #StopInsiderTrading Act. "There’s other measures that are just much weaker than a stronger #bipartisan bill that would have been a real ban and would have covered the executive branch as well. This feels like a fig leaf 🍃 rather than a real attempt at addressing what is a serious problem." - U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Town of Vermont, who voted against the bill. 🗞 This week’s news ▪️ U.S. Sen.
