I consider December 14th, 2012 the single darkest day of my presidency. The news from Sandy Hook Elementary was devastating, a visceral blow, and like so many others, I felt not just sorrow but anger at a world that could allow such things to happen.

Public disclosure will also benefit other stakeholders in large private companies such as employees, communities, customers and lenders. We urge passage of S.4857. #1u

S. 4857 will close a longstanding loophole that allows large private companies to circumvent the

@SECGov

disclosure rules so long as they have fewer than 2,000 shareholders “of record."

This transparency is long overdue to protect the retirement savings of working people who are increasingly invested in these private companies, as well as other stakeholders in private companies.

We support the Private Markets Transparency and Accountability Act (S. 4857), which will require the same levels of public disclosure for large private companies currently required for publicly listed companies under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Raising interest rates is NOT the only solution for our economic crisis. You know who's NOT feeling the cost of inflation this holiday season? Major corporations & their CEOs, whose profits have increased by more than *80%* in the last two years alone. #1u

A statement from the NWSLPA:

Today, the NWSL and NWSLPA Joint Investigative Team released its report after a 14-month investigation into abuse and misconduct towards NWSL players throughout the League’s history. The 125-page document details facts uncovered during the course of a thorough investigation that sought to identify who and what failed us, and when, and how we move forward to create a better and safer League for all Players. The objective evidence illustrates systemic League, club and individual failures and omissions that resulted in documented direct and indirect harm to current and former players. It is a hard but necessary read.
