      Just the senators?

      You know damn well they will use their family members/friends to do it for them instead.

      They won’t ban this gambling market directly… they want to use it.

      Cool now do every person in government from the city level up and also add stocks.

      How about anyone in the federal government?
      How about anyone related to anyone in the federal government?
      How about nation wide?
      Such arbitrary lines.

      How bout Presidents mutant offspring? Or anyone tangentially related to an active government official?

    9. buttchugreferee on

      so what happens when they do it anyway?

      what are the consequences for ignoring this?

      Stocks and crypto next. Every politician at every level of government, too

      And if they violate the ban, they will just keep doing it while shrugging their shoulders.

      Gambling should be banned, but it’s funny that the one activity you can do that will lose you money is getting banned by congress.

      Stocks though, that’s ok. Gifts for services, great!

    21. amitgarg4414 on

      so they just banned that one thing which publicly exposes what all insiders might know?

    22. iloovehugecock on

      I think the entire concept of prediction markets should be illegal. What kind of dystopian shit is this?

    23. Smartestguy111 on

      They will just ask friends to do it. Useless bans, powerful always find a way to

    24. Temassi on

      What about house members, admin members, admin family? There’s a lot more than just Senators fucking it up

    25. Mastasmoker on

      Cool. Now do the rest of congress and their staff, the WH and staff, the Supreme Court, and all family members of the same.

    27. squareplates on

      „Senators route prediction market bets through friends and family“ is a better headline.

    29. Harnellas on

      What I don’t understand about these markets is why the hell anyone *without* insider knowledge is putting money in at all.

      Like it seems objectively worse than regular gambling for us normies, yet apparently there’s no shortage of rubes signing up to be bag holders for these chucklefucks?

      This is not hard to get around at all. Senators have sons, daughters, cousins, partners…

      …….. beyond internal ethics enforcement like reprimands or censures, there’s nothing the senate can do to punish those who break the rule.

      Rules without real punishments are just suggestions.

    33. DrowningKrown on

      Lmao bars senators, but literally it says in the article there is no real enforcement method if they break the rule 😂😂😂😂😂

      A) you expect us to believe our average aged 60+ year old congresspeople are pulling up Kalashi on their smartphone and making bets? No, they have their staffers, families, accountants, or advisors do that shit. Then B) you ban ONLY the senators themselves, AND give no real enforcement mechanism for breaking the rule lmao

      Holy worthless rule. Has to be up there with the most useless rule I’ve ever seen. Hall of fame for best symbolic bill of 2026.

      These dudes are literally laughing to the bank, right in our faces

      Edit:
      > The rule change means Senators are technically barred from betting on the outcomes of specific events, but, beyond internal ethics enforcement like reprimands or censures, there’s nothing the senate can do to punish those who break the rule.

      It’s a sick joke

    34. seriouslykthen on

      From the article „The rule change means Senators are technically barred from betting on the outcomes of specific events, but, beyond internal ethics enforcement like reprimands or censures, there’s nothing the senate can do to punish those who break the rule.“. Sooooo its not a thing right?

    36. MultiPerception8892 on

      We should just ban the predictions trading market. It’s effing up the economy.
