The Most Aptly Titled Bill Ever

The Populist Times reported Senator Josh Hawley is reintroducing the “PELOSI Act,” a stock-trading ban for lawmakers, named after the former House Speaker with a Wall Street-winning spouse. The Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments (PELOSI) Act aims to stop Congress from playing the stock market with insider info. Pelosi, who’s allegedly outpacing Warren Buffett and hedge fund titans, insists it’s all just free-market magic.

The Populist Times reported:

According to financial data and analytics platform Unusual Whales, Pelosi maintained an impressive year-over-year trend, outperforming the S&P 500 stock index by 200 percent. Between December 29, 2023, and December 30, 2024, Pelosi’s portfolio grew by 70.9 percent.

Pelosi also broke her 2023 record of 65.5% growth, which by then outperformed the S&P 500 stock index by 165%. In 2024, Pelosi’s portfolio also outperformed Citadel, one of the world’s oldest hedge funds with over $66 billion in assets, Discovery Capital with over $15 billion, and Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway.

Trump told Time Magazine he would sign the PELOSI Act, saying, “Well, I watched Nancy Pelosi get rich through insider information, and … If they send that to me, I would do it.”
