Personally I think we should get rid of all of it. I refuse all corporate lobbyist money and I don’t believe we should be bankrolled by special interests at all. Each cycle the big dark money interests rotate - NRA, AIPAC, fossil fuel lobby, etc. This cycle it’s the AI lobby.

If anything, this bill makes it harder for public trackers of member trades to follow member investment activity. And they are hoping that if the public can no longer track their trades, that you will think they are no longer trading.
