BUSTED: Two Senators. One Stock-Ban Bill. $3,500 To Bury The Epstein Files.
BUSTED: Sen. Ashley Moody (R-FL) wrote the bill to ban Congress from trading stocks — then her own brokerage account bought $250K of Eli Lilly on Day 44 while she sat on the Senate Health Committee. Plus 18 options bets across one trading week. PLUS — Sen. Jon Husted (R-OH) took $3,500 from Les Wexner on July 3, then voted September 10 to keep the Epstein files sealed. PLUS: Black Voters Aren't Naïve. We're Watching. An open letter to every white Democrat in Washington.

Ashley Moody of Florida</strong> — appointed, not elected, to fill <strong>Marco Rubio’s</strong> vacated Senate seat — took the oath of office. She walked from the chamber to a room down the hall where the Senate’s <strong>Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee</strong> was finishing its first organizational meeting of the new Congress. The committee that, alongside Senate Finance, sets the federal terms on which the country’s prescription drugs are priced.</p><p style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 1.7; color: #0B0B0B; margin: 0 0 18px 0;">Forty-four days later, on <strong>March 6, 2025</strong>, her own brokerage account — not a spouse’s, not a joint trust, the “Self” field on her <a href="https://efdsearch.senate.gov/search/" style="color: #0B0B0B; border-bottom: 1px solid #B0000F; text-decoration: none;">Senate Periodic Transaction Report</a> — purchased between <strong>$100,000 and $250,000 of Eli Lilly</strong>.

In the first ninety days of her tenure, Sen. Moody’s self-account executed <strong>57 trades</strong> and moved <strong>$2.2 million</strong> in volume. Eighteen of those were directional options contracts — eleven different companies, four consecutive trading days in late February. One was a <strong>$100K–$250K position in NVIDIA</strong>, opened on <strong>Day 2 of NVIDIA’s biggest annual investor keynote</strong>, the single market-moving event NVDA shareholders position around every spring.</p><p style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 1.7; color: #0B0B0B; margin: 0 0 18px 0;">Ten months later, Sen.

Pick one. Either the Senator knew what was clearing in her own account while she sat on the Health Committee — and the bill she later introduced is theater. Or she did not know — and a senator who cannot keep tabs on her own brokerage cannot be trusted to police anyone else’s. The third-party-advisor defense is not a denial. It is the admission. The advisor is in the next room. The phone is on speaker. The senator does not have to give the order. The senator only has to be in the building when the room is talking. That is how the swamp does it. They built the loophole. They wrote the cover. They ran the play. Now they want you to clap for the bill.

Every March, NVIDIA’s keynote is the single most market-moving day of the year for NVDA stock. CEO Jensen Huang announces every major chip, every AI platform, every customer win. The keynote routinely moves NVDA 5–10% in 48 hours. Hedge funds position around it. Active traders ride the announcement bounce.

His father was an insurance executive who rose to own his own firm. His parents paid his Albright College tuition, his University of Connecticut MBA, and his Harvard Kennedy School master’s in public policy. He left graduate school with zero student debt. Per the <em>Philadelphia Inquirer’s</em> 2022 reporting, his parents continued to financially support him through nearly all thirteen years he served as mayor of Braddock — into his late forties.</p><p style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.65; color: #0B0B0B; margin: 0 0 14px 0;">That is not a working-class biography.
