What this means
In September 30, 2026 floor remarks, Senate Majority Leader John Thune urged Senate support for measures concerning stock purchases, voter identification and data-center electricity costs. He discussed the Stop Insider Trading Act’s proposed restrictions on lawmakers and their families and its photo-ID requirement, alongside the Ratepayer Protection Act’s proposed treatment of data-center power costs. Thune criticized Democratic opposition. The statement records his argument for the bills, not enactment of either proposal.
