The proposed repeal of the Rule would make extensive changes to Regulation NMS by permitting trade-throughs, or the execution of retail trades at worse prices than are otherwise available in the market.

We are particularly troubled by the proposed rescission of Rule 611, the Order Protection Rule (the Rule), and the negative impacts it would create for everyday investors and our markets.

Bill Pulte should resign, and if he does not, Congress must hold him accountable.

Pulte’s corrupt crusade to protect himself and President Trump from accountability will likely result in the firing of approximately 40 law enforcement personnel who protect families from mortgage fraud.

Bill Pulte is shutting down the independent watchdog that is responsible for investigating his misconduct—like his efforts to weaponize private mortgage data in sham investigations against the President’s perceived political enemies.

The U.S. has to be the leading voice pushing our partners to uphold international rules and pushing back when the PRC bucks these rules to try and strangle our democratically-elected partners, especially Taiwan.

Tammy Duckworth
@tammyduckworth· Democratic · IL· Oct 2, 2026

The addition we seek would place a temporary halt on closing or deactivating any Air Force Central Repair Facility (CRF) until September 30, 2028, unless the Air Force assigns a deployable replacement mission.
