This year, 202 representatives and 56 senators in Congress own stock. And they trade those stocks with insider information only they can access. It's time to ban stock trading for every member of Congress. san.com/cc/house-to-...

All we want for Christmas is for our highest court to be held to equally high ethical standards. 🎄🎁

🚨Maryland is moving on mid-decade redistricting—without any public maps. That’s a serious transparency failure. Voters deserve to see how new maps would affect their representation before being asked to weigh in. Redistricting must happen in the open—not behind closed doors.

The DOJ is escalating pressure on states—including GA, IL, and WI—to hand over sensitive voter data. Your private data belongs to you, not unelected D.C. bureaucrats. Common Cause is fighting nationwide to protect voter privacy.

This year Common Cause stood up to extremism, protected voting rights, and won real reforms that put people first — not special interests. If you’re ready to defend the future of our country in 2026, join us and fuel our fight in the new year. secure.actblue.com/donate/commo...

Public servants should serve the people — not play the stock market. The majority of Americans agree that members of Congress shouldn’t trade stocks while writing the laws. It’s time for action! Congress must come together and pass a stock trading ban now. www.commoncause.org/press/govern...

GOP Speaker Mike Johnson just sent the House home for the year without passing a ban on stock trading. A ban on members of Congress cashing in on insider information has bipartisan support and is long overdue. Let's get this done.

The unemployment rate just hit a four-year high. President Trump is tanking the economy with mass federal job cuts and reckless tariffs—right before the holidays. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/16/business/economy/jobs-report-unemployment-november.html

The federal government shouldn’t have access to your private data. Common Cause will keep fighting to protect voters’ data privacy in Maryland and nationwide. www.commoncause.org/maryland/pre...

Trump’s new AI executive order would strip states of their power to set their own AI safeguards and protect their people online. State -level oversight has always been a critical check to protect communities from harm.

Common Cause led the redistricting fight in Indiana — and we won. The Trump Administration did everything in their power to rig voting maps. Because of our leadership, senators stood with the majority of voters and stopped this power grab.

Congress writing stock market rules while trading stocks? Yeah, that’s not a conflict of interest at all… 🙄 The Restore Trust in Congress Act would finally end this. Pass it.

Indiana state senators were harassed, bullied, and intimidated — and still stood with the majority of Hoosiers who said NO to mid-decade redistricting. That’s true leadership!

Just weeks after Rep. Henry Cuellar was pardoned for federal bribery charges, he's given a top position on the Congressional committee that determines how your taxpayer dollars are spent. This is exactly how corruption stays embedded in our government.

Congress shouldn’t trade stocks while writing the rules. Period. The Restore Trust in Congress Act fixes this. Pass it now.

A government that respects human rights is a government that works for the people. Let’s not forget the bare minimum we all must fight for.

Big money donors want more say in our politics by being able to give unlimited donations directly to political parties. Common Cause filed a brief urging the court to reject this clear attempt at corruption influencing our politics. https://bit.ly/4q2o1pG

Corruption weakens our rights and silences our voices. Transparency and accountability strengthen us. Today, and everyday, we fight for both.

Voters in Rhode Island deserve to know their personal information is protected and used only to maintain accurate voter rolls. We’re committed to defending voter privacy nationwide, and this case is one of many where we’re stepping in to uphold those rights. https://bit.ly/3XNoGz8

Indiana voters deserve leaders who respect them — not politicians who treat our elections like a game. The voters, not partisan showmanship, should come first.

Indiana House Republicans rammed through a new redistricting scheme — even though Hoosiers overwhelmingly opposed it. Now the Senate must decide whether to listen to voters or cave to D.C. party bosses. Hoosiers deserve fair maps and a transparent process that puts people first.

This year in CO we passed the Voting Rights Act – the first in the nation to protect LGBTQ+ voters, support eligible voters in county jails, strengthen safeguards against racial discrimination, and more. And in MD, we expanded language access so every voter can participate in our democracy.

Today we honor the lives lost at Pearl Harbor and reflect on the courage shown in the face of tragedy.

Why are Congress members allowed to trade stocks while making the rules? 🤯 The Restore Trust in Congress Act stops this conflict of interest. It’s simple. Pass it already.

The 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery, was ratified 160 years ago today, but the echoes of slavery continue to reverberate throughout our country. Private companies and governments extract nearly free labor from incarcerated people.

Lawmakers shouldn’t gamble with the stock market while writing the rules. The Restore Trust in Congress Act would ban members of Congress from trading individual stocks. It’s common sense — Congress must pass it now.
