Headlines From The Times - Silicon Valley Bank’s collapse may affect your interest rate

When inflation is high, the Federal Reserve has historically raised interest rates. But the recent failures of banks like Silicon Valley Bank have sparked worries about the stability of our banking system. Now the feds must weigh whether the banking system could withstand the turmoil that raising interest rates could bring. To get inside the mind of Fed chair Jerome Powell, we look to a previous era of high inflation, the late 1970s and early ‘80s, and the decisions of then Fed chairs Arthur Burns and Paul Volcker.

Today, we talk about what's next. Read the full transcript here.

Host: Gustavo Arellano

Guests: L.A. Times economics reporter Don Lee

Opening Arguments - OA709: The Law of “March Madness!”

Today, Liz and Andrew take a break from the world of politics (except for Patrons) to bring you the history and law surrounding "March Madness," including whether it was legal to fill out your bracket and how the NCAA approaches its trademarks. Along the way, we'll learn how the current right-wing Supreme Court is going to use a gambling decision to further its activist agenda. If you like basketball -- and even if you don't! -- you won't want to miss it!

The Patreon bonus is all about Jenna Ellis and Trump's legal team, and Liz brings the funny.
