On September 3, 2025, in Washington, D.C., Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, along with a bipartisan group of House members, unveils a compromise bill to ban stock trading by individual members of Congress and their families.

The letter cites various incidents, including the assassination attempts on President Donald Trump in 2024 and the 2017 shooting of Louisiana Rep. Steve Scalise, as evidence of a "sustained breakdown of law and order" driven by anti-American ideology. Roy criticized the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) for allegedly placing “targets” on conservative groups and figures through its “Hate Map,” mentioning that the SPLC had placed Kirk on its “Hatewatch” map before he was killed. He claimed that these incidents result from organized efforts by leftist groups, which, he pointed out, back lenient prosecutors and judges.
