Summary

Insider trading in Congress doesn’t just feel like an uneven playing field— it feels like a rigged game. Is the answer banning lawmakers from trading individual stocks? Senator Elizabeth Warren thinks so. Today, Nicole talks with Senator Warren about the new bipartisan Restore Trust in Congress Act that would ban Congressional stock trading, whether it will pass— and what it says about our leadership if it doesn’t. Plus, Senator Warren talks about the latest Fed drama and the important balance between Fed interference and Fed oversight. Make sure to come back tomorrow for part two, where Senator Warren and Nicole discuss whether trading should come with a warning label and the future of the Democratic party.
