Not that the subject of insider trading and Rep. Nancy Pelosi are in any way related, the latter had a pretty good 2024 as @PelosiTracker noted earlier this month:

Was <em>your</em> portfolio up 54 percent last year?&nbsp;

In a related story, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was doing an interview with Jon Stewart and said that insider trading seems to be just another benefit of the job for many members of Congress:&nbsp;

Mention making it illegal for members of Congress to trade stocks and a lot of them won't like it. But of course that has nothing to do with any of them enjoying the perks of insider trading. Nope, not at all!

Martha Stewart went to prison for insider trading, and she wasn't even a member of Congress. Of course, if Stewart <em>had</em> been a member of Congress she wouldn't have gone to prison at all.

Perhaps AOC's doing all this due to higher aspirations:

 {ai:summary}<p>Rep. Nancy Pelosi reportedly finished 2024 with a 54% gain in her stock portfolio, raising questions about insider trading among Congress members. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez suggested that such trading is a common benefit for many in Congress, highlighting perceived hypocrisy.</p><p>Critics argue that members of Congress should face the same legal consequences for insider trading as private citizens, referencing Martha Stewart's prison sentence for similar actions. Calls for accountability and reform continue amidst these discussions. #politics</p>
