What it does
Sense-of-Senate / ethics resolution restricting members and staff from trading on political prediction markets.
Why it matters
Tests whether Congress will close an obvious conflict-of-interest loophole as prediction markets scale.
Progressive take
If insider trading in stocks is wrong, insider trading on legislation odds is worse. Codify it.
