Applaud Sen. Booker for Demanding Oversight

We commend Senator Cory Booker for boldly standing up for transparency, accountability, and integrity in government by calling for congressional hearings into possible insider trading surrounding President Donald Trump’s sudden tariff reversal.

In a moment when Americans are rightly questioning whether those in power are enriching themselves at the public’s expense, Sen. Booker made it clear: Congress must do its job. His call for oversight in response to Trump’s suspicious “buy stocks now” post—made just hours before a tariff pause that caused the stock market to soar—reflects the seriousness and urgency of the matter.

Booker’s message is simple and powerful: when there's this much smoke, Congress must investigate the fire. His leadership in calling out the dangerous erosion of public trust and demanding that we uphold ethical standards in our highest offices is exactly the kind of principled action our country needs.

We applaud Sen. Booker for prioritizing the public interest, defending economic fairness, and using his voice to protect our democracy. His unwavering commitment to oversight and truth is a model for leadership at a time when it’s needed most.
