Business Before the Senate
The Senate considered two bills during the week’s business: the Stop Insider Trading Act and the Ratepayer Protection Act. Senator Thune, the Republican leader, urged support for both, saying the Stop Insider Trading Act would ban members of Congress and their families from buying stocks and would include a photo ID requirement for voters, and that the Ratepayer Protection Act would make data centers pay for their own electricity costs so that everyday customers do not face higher energy bills. He argued that House Democrats had voted for these ideas and that Senate Democrats should support them as well.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
