Politicians playing the stock market? This bill says no, because public service is not a hedge fund. Let’s clean house, not cash checks.

It's about time Congress acted like adults and stopped treating public office like a side hustle. This bill's a small step toward restoring confidence.

MEME Act is a mic drop on greed – when public trust isn’t for sale, democracy wins. No more emoluments, just accountability.

Finally, a bill telling corrupt officials that their piggy banks aren’t part of the job description. About time we flipped the script on insider profiteering!

If you’re worried about corruption, look past the legislation—this just makes honest business on the side a felony, and that’s the real problem.
