  2. #FridayKiss: Theme: IMAGINE 🔮️

    Adrynn pushed him against the wall. "You drive me wild."
    The weight of Adrynn's body, the strong grip on his neck, the bruising kiss, tongue warm and rough, surpassed all Cannt could have imagined this moment to be.

  3. A bipartisan group of lawmakers is making a new push to ban members of Congress from private stock trading.

    It's an attempt to "demonstrate that lawmakers are focused on serving the interests of the American people -- not their own stock portfolios," Rep. Abigail #Spanberger, a Virginia Democrat, said in reintroducing the measure along with Texas Republican Rep. Chip #Roy.

    After failing to get a floor vote when last introduced in 2021, the "#TRUST (Transparent Representation Upholding Service and Trust) in Congress Act," gained increasing support across the political spectrum in 2022 with 75 cosponsors, and its backers say that the number will grow even larger this time.

    The bill would require all members of Congress, their spouses and their dependent children to put "certain assets" into a #BlindTrust at, or sooner than, 90 days after a member is elected, effectively banning them from #trading in individual #stocks.
