As I cleaned up the kitchen this morning with my favorite sponge [ [link removed] ](you
can get your own by clicking here!) I was reminded that even before Kevin
McCarthy was ousted and Republicans couldn't choose a replacement,
Congress was messy.

[ [link removed] ]Katie's favorite sponge is a perfect way to clean up your toughest
messes.

When I got to Congress in 2019, I was used to mess—I was a single mom of
three who had just flipped a Republican held seat blue. But I quickly saw
just how entrenched privilege and corruption were in Washington.

A prime example of that corruption is congressional stock trading. Members
of Congress have routinely profited from trading stocks based on
information they learn in private briefings. We saw it during the early
days of the COVID pandemic. And we’ve seen it from members of both
parties, who trade fossil fuel or insurance company stocks as they
regulate (or fail to regulate) those very industries.

My bill, the STOCK ACT 2.0 would effectively ban congressional stock
trading and create real punishments for those who break the rules. But
resistance from folks on both sides of the aisle has kept this from
becoming law.

Cleaning up corruption will be one of my top priorities in the Senate.
