Nancy Pelosi is U.S. Representative, California-11 in California. Political positions and ideology score -47 (Left). The MSM fight is ‘Pelosi trades.’ The file is worse and more ordinary: a speaker household whose brokerage looked like a Silicon Valley hedge fund, disclosed in ranges so wide they were a joke, while she ran the chamber that writes the tax code those stocks depend on.

Background & record
The MSM fight is ‘Pelosi trades.’ The file is worse and more ordinary: a speaker household whose brokerage looked like a Silicon Valley hedge fund, disclosed in ranges so wide they were a joke, while she ran the chamber that writes the tax code those stocks depend on. A ban would have been the easy story. The ranges were the story.
