Senate Democrats sink 'toothless' stock trading ban, data center bill in last act before election recess

Two separate proposals to ban member stock trading while in office and address data center-related utility costs failed Wednesday amid Democratic opposition.

What the coverage shows

All four outlets center the Senate vote on a stock-trading bill and say Democrats blocked or opposed it, with the New York Times stressing that Republicans lost a potential pre-midterm win and Newsweek spotlighting Schumer’s “Swiss-cheese legislating” line. CNBC is the only outlet to pair that vote with a second failed data center bill, while The Hill frames the day as part of a broader GOP effort, saying Thune scheduled the votes to help embattled Republican incumbents.
