Former Representative
Barney Frank represented Massachusetts for 32 years, making a name for himself
as a progressive advocate, an LGBT pioneer and half of the major banking reform
bill “Dodd Frank.” A new bill in the senate could change the Dodd-Frank banking
regulations. We are pleased to have Barney Frank join me today to weigh in on
these issues, Trump’s first year in office, the Consumer Financial Protections
Bureau leadership controversy and more.
Alabamans vote to fill
the senate seat vacated by Jeff Sessions in less than two weeks. The strongly
Republican area is now in flux as accusations of sexual harassment and child
molestation against Republican candidate Roy Moore have brought national attention
to the race. AL State Representative Patricia Todd (D-Birmingham) has been a
leader in local and state politics.
So much happening in the world of politics this week, what with Republican pushing their tax bill through and the President going off on twitter again. Helping us to make some sense of it all
is Michele Jawando, Vice President of Legal Progress at the Center for American Progress, and don’t forget to check out THINKING CAP, the podcast
she does every Thursday with our friend Igor Volsky!
