If i see a notification pop up saying you just bought $10 of $TSLA i'm buying $5 of $TSLA the same day.

Ty for correcting him, the reason why they have insider information is that they have access to clarified documents before they're made public. Running on a platform of "I'll publicly share classified information" is incredibly dumb and would end in jail time very very quickly.

I think they should only have broad market index or mutual funds. I'm fine with them being invested, but not being able to front run changes that affect specific companies or industries.
The counterpoint to making politicians not be in the market at all is the Fed which is no longer allowed to have any investments, and since they have no skin in the game they don't care if raising rates causes mass unemployment and hammers the market if it reduces inflation.

Senator Richard Burr:
In early February 2020, just before the COVID-19 market crash, Burr sold more than $1.6 million of stock in 33 transactions during a period when, as head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, he was being briefed daily regarding potential health threats from COVID-19.[117][118][119] He sold 95% of the holdings in his Individual Retirement Account (IRA).[120] According to the FBI, Burr's sales six days before "a dramatic and substantial" downturn in the stock market allowed him to profit more than $164,000 and avoid $87,000 in losses.[120] The stocks sold included several considered vulnerable to economic downturns, such as hotel chains.[118] Burr's brother-in-law Gerald Fauth also subsequently sold stocks; according to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Burr had a 50-second phone conversation with Fauth in February 2020, immediately after which Fauth sold shares.
