A group of next-generation lawmakers in the U.S. Congress has launched a legislative agenda aimed at combating corruption and restoring integrity in Washington. Key proposals include banning stock trading by members of Congress and their families, imposing a lifetime lobbying ban, strengthening bribery laws, and expanding anti-corruption and recusal rules for the Executive Branch. The initiative also seeks to protect offices of inspectors general and prevent elected officials from profiting off their positions. Among the bills introduced is the "No Corporate Crooks Act," targeting corporate criminals' influence in government. Lawmakers emphasize the need for ethics reforms that apply equally to Congress, the Trump administration, and the judiciary. Additionally, efforts to address corporate monopolies are underway, with the formation of the Monopoly Busters Caucus and engagement with Justice Department officials. The legislative push reflects a broader commitment to ensuring public servants work for the American people rather than personal gain, and to reinforcing congressional oversight of the Executive Branch.
