The headline blared that <em>&#8220;Long Island Rep.

Tom Suozzi led all Democrats with the best stock portfolio performance of 2025, beating even the She-Wolf of Wall Street, Nancy Pelosi, data obtained by The Post shows.&#8221; [&#8230;] &#8220;Most of it came from his outsized position in tech giant NVIDIA \u2014 up 40% for the year.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The article noted that Suozzi <em>&#8220;supports bipartisan legislation&#8230;to ban members of Congress from trading individual stocks.&#8221;<\/em> That&#8217;s legislation that many Republicans still are not getting behind. And Trump refuses to support it unless it exempts the executive branch &#8211; meaning him. All of the pending legislation is currently stalled in committee or awaiting floor votes that are not scheduled.<\/p>\n<p>Near the bottom of the article, the Post finally noted that a Republican, Tim Moore, made even more money trading stocks (52%) than Suozzi, who ranks down at number five. What&#8217;s more, a chart included in the article shows that eight of the top ten congressional stock traders are Republicans. Which is not ever mentioned in the text of the article.<\/p>\n<p>Nancy Pelosi&#8217;s 18% isn&#8217;t even among the top ten, despite having made it into the headline. Although notable Republicans like Ted Cruz (50%), and Lisa Murkowski (35%), and Marjorie Taylor Greene (33%), and Mitch McConnell (29%) are in the top ten. <em>[Note: The Post doesn&#8217;t know what Murkowski looks like.
