#1 Banning TikTok is dumb. I don't use it and never will, but that's beside the point.

PELOSI Act - Yawn. They'll get around that somehow.

#2 Yeah but the laws also need to ban influence pedalling lobbying by legislators and bureaucrats from lobbying/revolving door forever

#3 Don't ya love how the Republicans push forward legislation like this when it won't pass in the Senate or get signed into law? Makes ya wonder why they don't when they do have the power to pass them...

#8 All politicians and family must devest themselves of all stocks during their term in office plus one decade and make it illegal for them to work as lobbyists for the same duration.

Pass that and watch the number of folks fighting for their seat at the Washington feeding trough dry up.

#9 What #s 1 and 3 said. This is political theater that will likely go nowhere. Perhaps it will wake up more to the corruption that goes on with their duly-elected [I use the term elected very loosely]. The name of the bill, The Pelosi Act is a slap in her face. Might as well add on to the bill a provision for term limits.

#10 Make them invest in something that mirrors the S&P so they can feel our pain in a painful manner that feels like real pain before we de-elect them.

#11 Make the Democrats vote on it and then use their "no" votes against them in the next election.

#12 @#3 - Hmmm, and funny how the Dems had control of Congress sometime over 49 years and never seemed to legislate any kind of abortion rights. A political football used buy both wings of that rapacious bird.
