It is unfortunate that Democrats are again blocking these priorities.\u201d\n\nStock Trading Prohibitions\n\nProhibits Members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent children from purchasing securities or derivatives of publicly traded companies, while the Member is in federal service.\n\nMembers who violate the prohibition are subject to a fine of $2,000 or 10% of the transaction value, whichever is greater, along with any net gain realized from the transaction.\n\nSAVE America Voter ID Requirements\n\nRequires voters to present valid physical photo identification to receive a ballot in federal elections.\n\nAccepted IDs include state driver\u2019s license, state-issued photo ID card, U.S. passports, military or veterans\u2019 ID, and Tribal ID.\n\nVoters voting by mail are required to either (1) submit a copy of a valid photo ID, or (2) provide last four digits of their Social Security number with an affidavit explaining why they cannot obtain ID, or (3) submit a notarized statement attesting that the individual has personally marked the ballot.\n\n-###-", 1, "2026-10-01T11:23:28Z", "2026-10-01T11:25:15Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.hoeven.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/hoeven-votes-for-stop-insider-trading-act-with-save-america-act-provisions"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5791119076311588, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
