Freada Kapor Klein, founder of Level Playing Field Institute, joined Cheddar News to provide some insight into the ongoing inequitable treatment of women in the world of finance. Specifically, Klein spoke to biases women founders face when it comes to seeking investment, equal pay disparities and what it will actually take to make the playing field more leveled. "We need to create different pathways into education," she said. "So if we're going to learn much more about computing and technology skills, selective colleges remain one access point.

Poll: More Americans think companies benefit from legal immigration
A new poll finds U.S. adults are more likely than they were a year ago to think immigrants in the country legally benefit the economy. That comes as President Donald Trump's administration imposes new restrictions targeting legal pathways into the country. The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research survey finds Americans are more likely than they were in March 2024 to say it’s a “major benefit” that people who come to the U.S. legally contribute to the economy and help American companies get the expertise of skilled workers. At the same time, perceptions of illegal immigration haven’t shifted meaningfully. Americans still see fewer benefits from people who come to the U.S. illegally.

Trump told pregnant women not to use the painkiller around a dozen times during the White House news conference Monday. The drugmaker tumbled 7.5%. Shares have regained most of those losses early Tuesday in premarket trading.
