The only thing bipartisan in government is their love for insider trading.
🚨BREAKING🚨

I just released the full report on Congress trading in 2024.

From the start of 2024 to year end, many had unusual trades & huge portfolio gains.

Here are the top political traders of 2024.

Coined by University of Chicago statistician Stephen Stigler who, for consistency, says he stole it from Robert Merton.

Happens because the best story, not necessarily the right idea, gets people's attention.

Sounds irresponsible and dangerous. Hopefully RI can get this under control.
