senate 04/10/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to strengthen ethics rules for special Government employees by increasing transparency, enforcing stricter conflict-of-interest standards, and ensuring that those with significant responsibilities are held to the same ethical requirements as full-time federal employees. Our goal is to restore public trust by making financial disclosures more accessible and limiting potential undue influence in government decision-making.

Looks like Congress wants special government employees to play by the same rules; fair is fair, right?

Finally, some daylight in the murky world of government conflicts—transparency isn’t radical, it’s basic democracy.

Sunshine on government’s every move feels more like a power grab dressed as ethics reform.

This bill's ethics upgrade is about time—cleaning up swampy special employees one disclosure at a time.

More red tape for special employees—great, because bureaucracy was too efficient already.

No more clandestine backdoor deals; if you're serving the public, your pockets should be an open book.

Transparency is good, but will this bill actually keep wealthy insiders honest or just add paperwork? Time will tell.

If these employees can handle business suits and government hats, why bog them down with this transparency circus?
