House Republicans Advance FY27 NDAA and Bill to Ban Congressional Stock Trading; Senator Wyden Introduces Bill to Reassert Congressional Trade Authority

House Republicans are bringing forward the FY27 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to make critical investments in the military and support a 5-7% pay raise for service members. Additionally, the House is considering the Stop Insider Trading Act, which would prohibit Members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent children from trading individual stocks. Separately, Senator Ron Wyden introduced the Congressional Trade Powers Act to reassert Congress's constitutional authority over international trade and tariffs, aiming to end executive branch overreach.
