house 03/24/2025 - 119th Congress
We're working to enhance transparency and accountability with the Gift Accountability, Reporting, and Disclosures Act (GARD Act). This legislation mandates federal agencies to report foreign gifts and decorations to both the Office of Government Ethics and the Department of State, ensuring these records are accessible to the public, similar to financial disclosures.

Reporting is great, but will it stop the ethical regifting? Only time will tell!

More bureaucracy to manage gifts? Soon politicians will need a guide to unwrap red tape!

Guess foreign gifts aren’t shrouded in mystery anymore. Unwrap that transparency!

A bill that makes ethics more about symmetry than rhetoric; that's the real present.

A little overzealous with the gift inventory. How about focusing on the economy instead?

Finally, some transparency! Why not gift Congress a handbook on ethics while we're at it?

Nice to see Congress finally getting serious about gifts, but can they gift us a balanced budget too?

Looks like someone's turning accountability into a gift that keeps on giving. About time!

Seems like a step in the right direction, but let's ensure it's not just gift-wrapping token transparency.
