Ro Khanna, Jamaal Bowman, and Ilhan Omar as his advisers on his recent measure. \u201cI am grateful for the advice that I\u2019ve gotten from [them on] war powers bills,\u201d he said. He declined to say whether the two camps would unite to form a formal caucus in the House.<\/em><em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The mention of Omar as a confidant on a foreign policy issue comes despite Gaetz\u2019s earlier positions.

His resolutions to remove troops from Syria and Somalia were rejected by consistently&nbsp;large margins (165 GOP members voted against the recent resolution), and he hasn\u2019t introduced any bills in this Congress to reform the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it&#8217;s not just allying&nbsp;on &#8216;war powers.&#8217;&nbsp; They have already allied elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier, Gaetz and AOC co-sponsored a bill to restrict members of Congress from owning or trading stocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike military resolutions, this is something I may be able to support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The New York Post&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2023\/05\/02\/aoc-gaetz-unveil-bill-to-ban-stock-trading-in-congress\/\">reported<\/a>: \u201cWhen Members have access to classified information, we should not be trading in the stock market on it,\u201d said Ocasio-Cortez. \u201cIt\u2019s really that simple.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMembers of Congress are spending their time trading futures instead of securing the future of our fellow Americans,\u201d Gaetz said. \u201cWe cannot allow the Swamp to prioritize investing in stocks over investing in our country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I generally support restrictions on members of Congress trading stocks. But this bill may go a bit far, not allowing representatives to own any individual&nbsp;stocks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prohibiting trading stocks while in office should be enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still,&nbsp;this unsettling new left-right alliance may signal something else.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gaetz, Omar, and Ocasio-Cortez are in their 30s and 40s and seemingly want to burnish their reputations as lawmakers who are a new generation of politicians outside the Beltway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What else might these folks start to agree on?\u00a0When the young far left in America starts to join the far right, what comes next?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Opinions expressed by contributors do not necessarily reflect the views of Great America News Desk.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ANALYSIS \u2013 Bad idea.
