Why we checked itHinson attributes the failure to pass a congressional stock trading ban to Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats blocking it — a specific legislative accountability claim that can be checked against Senate voting records
What we foundSenate Democrats, including under Schumer's leadership, did vote against the Stop Insider Trading Act on September 30, 2026, but the bill they blocked was not a full ban on stock trading — it prohibited new purchases while allowing members to keep existing holdings, which is a meaningful distinction from the claim's framing.
