• There's been little movement in recent years, especially in the House, on banning stock trading.
• That could change this year, with a group of hardline Republicans now pushing the issue.
• "I need to put my foot on the gas a little bit," said Rep. Chip Roy. "Let's deal with it."

For years, lawmakers in both parties have tried to pass legislation to ban members of Congress from trading stocks.

It's popular with the American public. Both outgoing President Joe Biden and President-elect Donald Trump support it. A bipartisan group of senators came together around a single stock trading ban bill this past summer, and two years ago, the House almost took a vote on a bill hastily put forward by House Democratic leadership.

However, an actual floor vote in either chamber has long remained elusive. Now, some hardline House Republicans are hoping to change that.

"I'm tired of my colleagues sticking their heads in the sand on it. It needs to be dealt with, sooner rather than later," Rep. Chip Roy of Texas told Business Insider in a brief interview on Friday.

Roy and 10 other members of the House Freedom Caucus board sent a letter to Speaker Mike Johnson on Friday expressing their "sincere reservations" with his tenure. Many of those lawmakers initially withheld their votes for Johnson, only to relent out of deference to Trump.

In that letter, the GOP hardliners outlined a series of rule changes they wanted to see, along with policy items that they expected Johnson to put up for a vote. Among those items: Ending stock trading by members of Congress.

"If that's what it takes to gain some confidence by the public in the fact that members of Congress work ethically, then I think that's a small price to pay," Rep. Andy Harris of Maryland, the chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, told BI.

Roy has long been the leader GOP cosponsor of one of the leading bills to ban stock trading, the TRUST in Congress Act, and he told BI that it was his idea to add that demand to the letter. He also happens to be one of Johnson's chief critics, and could — in coordination with the other Republicans — threaten the speaker with a vote on his ouster if the House doesn't take up that legislation.

As of now, it's not clear whether that will happen. Roy said that banning lawmakers from trading stocks is "not as existential to the functioning of the average American family on a daily basis" as some of the other priorities laid out in the letter, including steep cuts to federal spending and enacting tough border security and immigration measures.

The Texas Republican did express frustration with the lack of progress on the issue over the last several years while hinting that this year could be different.

"It's been sitting out there for three or four years, we kind of keep dragging feet, and it's time to deal with it," said Roy. "I need to put my foot on the gas a little bit, and so I'm putting my foot on the gas."

As of now, Roy says that "foot on the gas" involves laying out the demand and talking with Johnson and other relevant committee chairs about moving the legislation.

Johnson, for his part, has not publicly expressed a position on a stock trading ban, and a spokesperson did not provide a position when contacted by Business Insider on Monday. His predecessor, former Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California, did express support for a stock trading ban.

"The perception of Congress, whether true or not, is that some may take advantage of insider information," Rep. Andy Ogles of Tennessee, another Freedom Caucus letter signatory, told BI. "This is a gesture to say, 'Hey, look, we're not treated any differently.'"

Despite widespread agreement on the principle, the details of an eventual ban aren't widely agreed upon, and different bills propose different things. Some legislation would ban the ownership of stocks altogether, but Ogles said that "active day-trading" is the real problem.

"It doesn't mean you can't own stock, so that you can't have mutual funds," Ogles said.

Meanwhile, some House Freedom Caucus members still trade stocks, and one — Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida — violated a federal law requiring timely disclosure of stock trades in the fall of 2024.

A September 2024 report from the Campaign Legal Center found that 44% of House members and 54% of senators own stock.

• Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet still seem to be going strong. 
• The couple attended their second Golden Globe Awards together on Sunday.
• Here's a timeline of their relationship, from interacting at Paris Fashion Week to attending award shows.

In what is arguably the most unexpected celebrity coupling since Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson, Kylie Jenner is dating Timothée Chalamet.

Reports first surfaced in April 2023 that the two were casually seeing each other. In the time since, more information has come to light about their rumored first meeting and sources have given details on the relationship, though neither Jenner nor Chalamet have confirmed it publicly.

Most recently, Chalamet and Jenner were spotted together at the 82nd Golden Globe Awards, held in Los Angeles in January 2025. 

Here's everything we know about their relationship so far, from when it may have started to the pair's secret taco dates.

Representatives for Chalamet and Jenner didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.

January 2023: Jenner and Chalamet meet during Paris Fashion Week

A video of Jenner and Chalamet from January that appeared to show them interacting during an event at Paris Fashion Week resurfaced in April, after the dating rumors began in full force. According to People, the video was taken at Jean Paul Gaultier's Paris Fashion Week show.

 

People reported that Jenner had again split from Travis Scott, the father of her two children, earlier in January, though the source told People it was "probably not the end" of Jenner and Scott's famously on-again, off-again relationship.

Chalamet, for his part, had most recently been linked to model Sarah Talabi in 2022 and actor Eiza González in 2020.

March 27, 2023: The two reportedly attend a dinner with Kendall Jenner and Kendall's rumored boyfriend Bad Bunny

Shortly before the Kymothée relationship rumors took the internet by storm, Page Six reported on March 27 that Jenner's sister Kendall and rapper Bad Bunny (who'd themselves been at the center of dating rumors for about a month at that point) were photographed out together leaving a club in West Hollywood, California.

The Page Six report mentioned in passing that Kendall and Bad Bunny had dinner "alongside other A-Listers — including her sister, Kylie Jenner, and Timothée Chalamet," among others. 

April 6, 2023: DeuxMoi posts about Jenner and Chalamet dating rumors

On April 6, pop-culture gossip curator DeuxMoi posted an anonymous fan submission claiming that "multiple sources" had told them that Chalamet "has a new girl... Kylie Jenner. ⚰️⚰️"

DeuxMoi soon followed that up with submissions from other readers who claimed they could confirm the news. One anonymous source told Deuxmoi they'd known about the pairing since Paris Fashion Week in January, indicating that the relationship may have started then.

 

The internet had a collective meltdown, with some expressing shock and horror at the unexpected pairing and others straight up refusing to believe that the two, who seem to run in very different social circles, had ever even met. 

April 7, 2023: Jenner and Chalamet eat tacos in a car together

According to photos from paparazzi agency Splash News reported on by Page Six and TMZ, Jenner and Chalamet had a "secret date night" at Tito's Tacos, a restaurant outside Los Angeles, that involved a kind of complicated car swap situation.

Page Six reported that Jenner picked Chalamet up in her car after he attended an art show. One of Jenner's security guards then apparently drove Chalamet's car, which followed Jenner's car, to Tito's Tacos, at which point Jenner's team hopped out and brought tacos back to the car, according to TMZ.

Jenner wasn't photographed during the reported date.

April 13, 2023: Jenner's car is seen at Chalamet's house

On April 13, TMZ published photos from paparazzi agency Backgrid showing a black car, which they identified as Jenner's black Range Rover SUV, in the driveway of a house, which they identified as Chalamet's Beverly Hills, California, estate. Other publications, including the Daily Mail and Page Six, reported on the same photos.

Page Six noted that the SUV had tinted windows and Jenner was never actually photographed inside the car, so it's unclear whether she was in it. The Daily Mail reported that the black SUV "arrived around 10 a.m. and left mere minutes later" followed by a "blacked out security Escalade."

Jenner famously collects luxury cars and she's shown a preference for Range Rovers in the past.

Representatives for Chalamet and Jenner didn't respond to requests for comment from TMZ, the Daily Mail, and Page Six at the time of the reports.

April 14-19, 2023: Sources say Jenner and Chalamet are dating, but just casually

Entertainment Tonight and People both separately reported on sources confirming the casual romance and giving more context for why Jenner and Chalamet were not going public.

On April 14, People reported that "a source close to 'The Kardashians' star" confirmed that Jenner and Chalamet "are hanging out and getting to know each other." (Representatives for Jenner and Chalamet didn't respond to People's request for comment at the time.)

Entertainment Tonight reported similar information from a source.

"They are keeping things casual at this point. It's not serious, but Kylie is enjoying hanging out with Timothée and seeing where it goes," said Entertainment Tonight's source in a story published April 17. "It's been really fun for her because it feels a lot different than her past relationships. It's new and exciting for Kylie and she's having a lot of fun."

The two both attended Coachella mid-month but avoided being photographed together, Page Six reported.

According to the Entertainment Tonight source, Jenner may have met Chalamet through her sister, Kendall, which tracks with their reported attendance at the March 27 dinner. "Timothée is also friends with Kendall, so it's been easy for Kylie to integrate him into her life," the source told Entertainment Tonight.

People reported on April 19 that a source close to Jenner said Jenner and Chalamet "hang out every week" and that Jenner is "having fun" and "wants to date without any pressure" after her on-and-off relationship with Travis Scott. The source also told People that the two had met "earlier this year at an event in Europe," which tracks with the viral video of the two from Paris Fashion Week in January.

May 1, 2023: Chalamet and Jenner don't make their big debut at the Met Gala; fans are bummed

Since the relationship reports broke, fans had been speculating that in true Kardashian-Jenner family style, the couple would make their big public debut in a splashy spectacle on the Met Gala red carpet.

Alas, that didn't happen. Jenner did attend the Met Gala, but she went solo, and Chalamet skipped the fashion event altogether.

May 29, 2023: A source tells People that Chalamet and Jenner are still casually dating, but it's still not serious

After weeks of relative silence on the Chalamet-Jenner front, a source confirmed to People that the reality star and the "Dune" actor are still enjoying each other's company and not putting labels on their relationship. According to People's source, Jenner's main priority is being a mom to 5-year-old Stormi and 15-month-old Aire.

A few days before People's report, Backgrid photos obtained by Page Six appeared to show the same black Range Rover (apparently Jenner's) from the April 13 sighting parked once again in the driveway of Chalamet's Beverly Hills home.

Sometime in May 2023: Jenner is finally seen leaving Chalamet's home

On June 1, Page Six reported that Jenner had been photographed leaving Chalamet's house for the first time. In the photos taken by Splash News, Jenner can be seen in the driver's seat of her black Range Rover, glancing at her phone before driving away from Chalamet's home.

Chalamet was photographed by the same paparazzo leaving in his own car shortly after Jenner departed.

September 4, 2023: Chalamet and Jenner make out at Beyoncé's Los Angeles concert

Footage obtained by TMZ shows the couple dancing, hugging, and kissing one another while taking in Beyoncé's Renaissance tour at Los Angeles' SoFi Stadium. In the background, Jenner's sister Kendall is also visible. 

This was the first time Chalamet and Jenner were actually seen interacting in public together. Another video of the two at the concert, obtained by PopCrave, shows Chalamet smoking a cigarette and chatting with Jenner. 

September 10, 2023: The pair are spotted out and about in New York 

Chalamet and Jenner were photographed together at a US Open match in September 2023. In photographs from the event, the two are shown taking in the match, whispering in each other's ears, and even sharing a quick kiss. 

October 17, 2023: Chalamet alludes to his relationship with Jenner in a GQ interview

While the "Dune" star avoided mentioning Jenner by name, or even confirming their relationship, he told GQ's Daniel Riley that the intense scrutiny around his potential relationship reminded him of a "South Park" episode satirizing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, in which the couple travels around the world on a "Worldwide Privacy Tour" demanding space from the public eye. 

"Sometimes, people are going to be hella confused when you say you're trying to live a private life," Chalamet said in the interview. 

November 1, 2023: Chalamet and Jenner are spotted together at the Wall Street Journal Magazine's Innovator awards

January 2025: The couple attend the Golden Globes together again

During the ceremony, Jenner and Chalamet were also photographed with his "A Complete Unknown" costars Monica Barbaro and Elle Fanning.

• Netflix's big night at the Golden Globes signals it could finally win the best picture Oscar.
• The irony? After years of campaigning, it doesn't matter much anymore, media analysts say.
• Netflix's status in Hollywood is cemented, and it's making waves elsewhere.

Netflix has spent years hunting for a best picture Oscar, and this year, it might finally get one. The twist: If it does, the win won't matter all that much to the streamer's business.

Netflix won big at the Golden Globes Sunday, crowing on its blog that the Spanish-language crime musical "Emilia Pérez" took "center stage" with four trophies, including a coveted Best Motion Picture prize in the musical or comedy category.

"Baby Reindeer" added to its haul with two awards, and Ali Wong took home a statue for her standup special. Netflix execs Ted Sarandos and Bela Bajaria received effusive shout-outs from the podium.

Netflix has spent millions of dollars over the years on Oscar campaigns but always come up short in the best picture category, the pinnacle of Hollywood glory. While Golden Globe and Oscar winners don't always intersect, the momentum for "Pérez" could mean the statue is finally in Netflix's crosshairs.

But the Oscar won't mean as much to Netflix as it would have a few years ago, industry analysts told Business Insider. Netflix has already won the streaming wars, and other areas of focus — like its live sports push — are more consequential to its current strategy.

"Winning best picture would be a nice PR win," Ross Benes, an EMARKETER senior analyst, told BI. "But business-wise, it would not matter all that much. Netflix already has convinced the top filmmakers and actors in the world to work with them."

Benes said that particularly with box-office returns down, "It's more clear than ever that the best movies go straight to streaming sometimes."

COVID also marked a "sea change" in the blurring of these lines after some top films began premiering on streaming services, said Robert Rosenberg, a former Showtime executive and a principal at Telluride Legal Strategies.

"The legitimacy question has basically been laid to rest," Rosenberg added, referring to whether Hollywood had fully accepted Netflix movies.

"Winning best picture would just be another feather in their cap," he said.

Netflix declined to comment.

Netflix's narrative has shifted

Netflix has been nominated for best picture several times — including noteworthy contenders like "Roma" and "The Power of the Dog." But Apple TV became the first streamer to cross the best picture threshold with "CODA" in 2022.

More recently, Netflix's aspirations have focused less on the red carpet and more on areas like the pro wrestling ring. The streamer has been increasingly scooping up sports rights and hosting massive broadcasts of boxing matches and NFL games as it builds an ad business.

Rosenberg called live content "a key new battleground" for Netflix. "I think we're going to see them get more aggressive in that area going forward," he said.

This week, Netflix will premiere "Monday Night Raw" — the first fruits of its multibillion-dollar deal with the WWE.

"Netflix laid the smackdown on traditional TV," Benes said. "It is enjoying its Hulkamania reign."

• CES, a massive tech trade show in the US, is in full swing this week.
• Product announcements and demos offer a look at how some companies are trying to use AI.
• Here's some of the AI news from CES that most caught our eye.

CES 2025 technically hasn't even started yet, but the AI product announcements and demos are already piling up.

The biggest tech trade show in the US, formally known as the Consumer Electronics Show, officially kicks off Tuesday but has already led to news of AI integration in everything from TVs to grills and even bird feeders.

Of course, not everything that companies talk about at CES eventually makes it to market, but these announcements show the wide array of AI applications companies are exploring after the technology's explosive growth in popularity in 2024.

Here are some of the biggest, coolest, and kookiest ones we've seen so far:

TVs

Samsung and LG are bringing Microsoft's AI assistant, Copilot, to some of their smart TVs.

Samsung's AI offerings include Click to Search, which can help identify an actor on-screen, and Live Translate, which provides subtitle translations in real time.

LG's newest OLED TVs have AI-enabled features that tailor audio and visual settings to a user's unique preferences, the company says. AI also welcomes users by name, and the AI Voice ID feature can identify users' voices to switch between profiles as needed and recommend what to watch accordingly.

LG says Copilot "further streamlines the process, allowing users to efficiently find and organize complex information using contextual cues."

Grills

This isn't your granddad's grill. The Zelos 450 electric wood pellet smoker from startup Brisk It uses generative AI (and WiFi connectivity) in the grilling process. Grillers can remotely adjust settings, get updates as their food cooks, and receive reminders to do necessary steps in the cooking process.

Bird feeders

Birding is getting high-tech with the Birdfy Feeder 2 Duo, which can capture avian visitors in slow-mo and high-res video. The accompanying app gives you real-time notifications when a bird stops by and uses AI to help you identify and catalog various species.

Vacuums

Roborock's Saros Z70 robot vacuum has an extendable arm that can help with housekeeping by picking up items around your house and putting them back in their rightful place.

It can't pick up anything heavy and can currently only help with a limited assortment of items, such as socks, but the company expects to add more items to the robot's visual inventory in the future.

Refrigerators

LG wants its newest smart fridges to not just tell you what food is already inside them but also to help you order more of what's not in them anymore.

Its new French Door refrigerator with ThinQ technology has a built-in AI camera that recognizes food inside, suggests recipes based on what you have handy, and tracks expiration dates.

Samsung has a similar offering in its Bespoke refrigerators, partnering with Instacart on same-day grocery delivery for items it notices you're running low on.

Home security cameras

The Kami Fall Detect Camera says it's able to identify falls with 99.5% accuracy by identifying patterns that could cause someone to trip over and by being able to detect falls even if a person's body is partially obscured from view.

It can send notifications to family and caregivers or help with making an emergency call after a fall.

Monitors

Dell's new 32 Plus 4K QD-OLED monitor uses a camera under its display to track your head and adjust the placement of sounds coming out of its five speakers, so they go straight to your ears.
