Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Wednesday that President Donald Trump's new children's savings program "is a back door for privatizing Social Security," a remark at a Breitbart News forum that revived a long-fraught debate Republicans have largely avoided in recent years.
What Happened: Hours later, Bessent sought to steady the message, saying the accounts created under the law "will supplement the sanctity of Social Security's guaranteed payments."

Bessent also posted that the administration remains committed to protecting seniors, adding in his evening clarification that it is "not an either-or" proposition, a point he emphasized after his earlier comment ricocheted across Capitol Hill. His X post arrived as the controversy eclipsed the rollout of the policy and prompted questions about whether the White House was shifting toward market-based retirement savings.

The law established &#8216;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45938365/trumps-1000-baby-account-aligns-with-billionaire-investor-warren-buffetts-start-young-philosophy">Trump Accounts</a>,&#8217; tax-advantaged savings for children born in the United States that receive a potential $1,000 Treasury seed and allow post-tax contributions up to $5,000 a year, with rules modeled on IRAs. According to a <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-child-savings-bessent-privatizing-social-security-97607050cfed0c423833ee7da88b4830">report</a> by the Associated Press, supporters say the balances can build over time and broaden wealth. Critics warn the structure nudges retirement security away from Social Security's guarantees.
Why It Matters: Democrats seized on Bessent's phrasing, with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) saying the comment signaled an intent to revive privatization efforts that voters have repeatedly rejected. &#8220;A stunning admission,&#8221; Schumer said in a Senate speech. &#8220;Bessent actually slipped, told the truth: Donald Trump and government want to privatize Social Security.&#8221;
The Treasury Department later said to AP that the child accounts are an additive program that works in conjunction with Social Security and that the federal benefit "always will be" a critical safety net, seeking to quell backlash.
Bessent's comment at the forum cut against Trump's repeated campaign assurances that he would protect the program, even as Republicans explore new savings vehicles. For now, Treasury says the accounts expand wealth-building without replacing Social Security, while the administration insists its goal is to leave retirees with "more money."

Politics

Chuck Schumer Says Scott Bessent 'Slipped' And 'Told The Truth' About Trump's Social Security Privatization Plan

In a rare bipartisan move, the Senate Banking Committee has unanimously advanced a comprehensive housing bill aimed at addressing the ongoing housing crisis in the United States.
The Senate Banking Committee on&nbsp;Tuesday gave approval for the&nbsp;Road&nbsp;to Housing Act of 2025&nbsp;with a 24-0 vote. This bill, led by Chairman Tim Scott (R-S.C.) and Ranking Member Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), which is the first of its kind in nearly a decade, encompasses elements from&nbsp;27 previously introduced pieces of&nbsp;legislation, 23 of which had bipartisan sponsors. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bipartisan Housing Bill Targets Affordability With Zoning Reforms And Incentives</h2>
The bill is designed to enhance housing affordability through various measures, including increasing housing supply, modernizing financing options, reducing regulatory barriers, promoting economic mobility, and improving program oversight and coordination.
The bill&#8217;s provisions also aim to streamline zoning and building standards, a rare point of agreement between Democrats and Republicans. However, the bill also calls for increased action by&nbsp;the Department of Housing and&nbsp;Urban Development (HUD), at a time when the Trump administration is cutting the agency&#8217;s budget and staffing levels.
"By aligning federal investment with local pro-housing policies, Congress can help renters see real relief while spurring the private capital needed to build 4.3 million new apartments this decade.&#8221; stated Sharon Wilson Géno, President of National Multifamily Housing Council (NMHC). 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Is The Housing Act Of 2025?</h2>
The ROAD&nbsp;to Housing Act of 2025, if passed, will boost housing development by directing HUD to update zoning guidelines, launching a pilot program with grants and loans for homeowners and landlords, streamlining environmental reviews, and create a $1 billion &#8220;innovation fund&#8221; over five years to support local housing initiatives.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">New Legislation Targets Deepening Housing Woes</h3>
The U.S. housing market has been facing significant challenges, including high prices, elevated mortgage rates, and rising construction costs, as highlighted by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/25/07/46627562/us-housing-market-will-likely-continue-to-worsen-as-long-as-it-is-faced-with-these-2-key-problems-says-oxford-economics">Oxford Economics</a>. These factors have been keeping both buyers and builders on the defensive, with potential sellers having less ability to pass along price increases.
Amid these challenges, the passing of the Road to Housing Act is a significant step towards addressing the U.S. housing crisis. The bill&#8217;s provisions align with the current trends in the housing market, including the need for increased construction. &#8220;Every senator,&nbsp;Republican or Democrat, is facing people back home who tell them housing is a huge problem,&#8221; Sen. Elizabeth Warren <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/07/30/congress-housing-act-2025">told </a>Axios.
Despite the challenges, some companies in the housing sector have been performing well. For instance,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45915485/rh-stock-surges-on-q1-earnings-beat-despite-worst-housing-market-in-50-years">RH (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RH#NYSE">RH</a>)</a>&nbsp;reported a surprise earnings beat in the first quarter of 2025, despite the housing market being described as the worst in 50 years.

Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) CEO Mark Zuckerberg believes smart glasses powered by artificial intelligence will become so essential that not wearing them will put users at a cognitive disadvantage—similar to living with poor eyesight and no corrective lenses.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Zuckerberg Bets Big On AI Glasses</h2>
Speaking during Meta's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46739277/meta-beats-q2-earnings-estimates-issues-strong-guidance-shares-surge-to-new-highs">second-quarter 2025 earnings</a> call, Zuckerberg expressed strong conviction in the future of AI-enabled wearables, particularly Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses and upcoming models like the Oakley Meta HSTNs.
He described them as a foundational tool for future computing.
"This product category is clearly doing quite well," he said. "It is stylish eyewear, so people like wearing them just as glasses and … the use of Meta AI in them just continues to grow."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Meta CEO Says Smart Glasses Will Be Essential</h2>
Zuckerberg argued that smart glasses will become the "ideal form factor for AI" by allowing the system to "see what you see throughout the day, hear what you hear, talk to you" and eventually project information via built-in displays.
He compared their utility to wearing corrective lenses for vision.
"I wear contact lenses," he said. "I feel like if I didn't have my vision corrected, I'd be at a cognitive disadvantage… In the future, if you don't have glasses that have AI or some way to interact with AI, I think you're probably going to be at a pretty significant cognitive disadvantage compared to other people."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ray-Ban Meta Tops Sales Charts Globally</h2>
He also noted that Meta has spent the past five to ten years investing in augmented reality and AI research, putting it years ahead in building AI-first wearable devices.
Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, launched in 2023, have reportedly sold millions of units. By October 2024, reports indicated that the smart glasses had become the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41458752/metas-smart-glasses-dominate-ray-ban-stores-ai-features-still-missing">top-selling product in 60%</a> of Ray-Ban stores across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Meta Buys Stake In EssilorLuxottica</h2>
Earlier this month, it was reported that Meta has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46311405/mark-zuckerberg-led-meta-acquires-nearly-3-of-ray-ban-oakley-parent-essilorluxottica-in-3-5-billion-deal-report">acquired nearly a 3% stak</a>e in eyewear giant EssilorLuxottica, valued at around €3 billion ($3.52 billion). The move aligns with Meta&#8217;s expanding ambitions in wearable technology, and the company may increase its stake to up to 5% in the future.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Meta Q2 Earnings Beat Expectations</h2>
Meta posted second-quarter revenue of $47.52 billion, surpassing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/META/earnings">analyst expectations</a> of $44.58 billion. The company also reported earnings of $7.14 per share for the quarter, well above the projected $5.79 per share.
Price Action: Meta shares jumped more than 11% in Thursday&#8217;s pre-market trading at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Benzinga&#8217;s Edge Stock Rankings indicate that META maintains strong upward momentum across short-, medium and long-term timeframes. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound'">Additional performance details are available here</a>.

Mark Zuckerberg Says Not Wearing Meta Ray-Ban Like AI Glasses Will Be Similar To Having Poor Vision Without Corrective Contact Lenses

In a recent development,&nbsp;NVIDIA Corp&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO and President&nbsp;Jensen Huang&nbsp;has sold a significant amount of the company&#8217;s stock.
What Happened: Between July 24 and July 28, Huang sold a total of 202,797 shares of common stock for around $39.16 million. The shares were sold at prices ranging from $172.07 to $176.37. The transactions were detailed in a Form 4 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Check out the current price of&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.com/quote/NVDA" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NVDA stock here</a>.
Although Nvidia&#8217;s CEO has been selling shares this year, investors shouldn&#8217;t be alarmed. The sales are part of a pre-scheduled Rule 10b5-1 trading plan filed in March to sell up to 6 million shares. Such plans are designed to prevent insider trading and are common for executives with large stock holdings.
Even after these transactions, Huang retains ownership of over 858 million Nvidia shares through direct and indirect holdings across various trusts and partnerships. He remains the largest individual shareholder, and only a few institutions hold more shares—making the sales relatively minor in the context of his total holdings.

Why It Matters: Huang&#8217;s sale of NVIDIA stock comes at a time when the company is experiencing significant growth and market dominance. On July 29, NVIDIA became the first company in history to reach a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/large-cap/25/07/46679419/nvidia-tops-4-3-trillion-valuation-surpassing-microsoft-by-500b-the-craziest-part-the-ai-revolution-has-barely-started">$4.3 trillion</a> valuation, surpassing Microsoft by $500 billion. This milestone was achieved amidst the ongoing AI revolution, with NVIDIA at the forefront of the industry.
Despite the recent stock sale, Huang&#8217;s confidence in NVIDIA&#8217;s future remains evident. The company&#8217;s remarkable performance and potential for further growth are underscored by Huang&#8217;s continued substantial ownership of NVIDIA shares.
Earlier in the month, on July 28, NVIDIA&#8217;s potential for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46666648/jensen-huang-2009-nvidia-vs-intel">future growth</a> was highlighted when the company&#8217;s CEO,&nbsp;Jensen Huang,&nbsp;drew parallels between NVIDIA and Intel (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>), suggesting that NVIDIA could reach similar heights in the semiconductor industry.
These stock sales come at a time when tech industry leaders are offloading their shares. For instance, Jeff Bezos, founder and executive chairman of Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), sold $1.5 billion worth of<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46623965/jeff-bezos-offloads-1-5-billion-in-amazon-stock-ahead-of-q2-earnings-report-plans-to-sell-more"> company stock</a> just days ahead of the e-commerce giant&#8217;s upcoming Q2 earnings report.

Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings shows that Nvidia had a strong price trend over the short, medium and long term. Its momentum ranking was 88.16, whereas its value ranking was poor at 6.32; the details of other metrics are available <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">here</a>.

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has reportedly stopped taking new orders for the Model S and the Model X in Europe amid poor sales figures in the region.
Check out the current price of <a href="https://benzinga.com/quote/tsla">TSLA stock here</a>.
What Happened: When accessing the automaker's European website, under the vehicles tab, the Model S and the Model X sections do not have an "order" link, Electrek reported <a href="https://electrek.co/2025/07/30/tesla-stops-taking-model-s-x-orders-in-europe/">on</a> Wednesday.
Tesla did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga's</a> request for comment.
For other vehicles like the Model Y and Model 3, pressing the "order" button takes you to a configurator page where you can customize the vehicle to your needs, like colors, wheels, autopilot packages, and more.

Figma Could Become A 'Meme Stock Beyond All Comprehension,' Warns Elon Musk's X Product Head Nikita Bier

During an episode of The Ramsey Show, a woman sought advice from financial expert Dave Ramsey on how to deal with her mother&#8217;s financial situation and her siblings&#8217; irresponsible behavior.
What Happened: On the July 18 episode of The Ramsey Show, a woman named Katie shared her family&#8217;s financial situation. Her mother, who was widowed in 2013, was left with a significant amount of debt after her father&#8217;s passing.
Despite having around $100,000 left from selling her home and receiving $2,000 in Social Security, Katie's mother has been quietly supporting another daughter who refuses to work more than two days a week to retain government aid.
&#8220;We feel, my husband and I feel that we are supporting her financially and finding out that we have siblings who are taking advantage of her financially,&#8221; the woman said.
Ramsey didn't hold back, calling the dependent sibling a "parasite" and warning Katie that her mother's financial missteps would soon fall on her.
She's going to burn through that $100,000 supporting the parasites, he said. "Then you&#8217;re going to be stuck with a mom in the house, and you&#8217;re going to be caring for your mom, and she&#8217;s going to have social security checks off.&#8221;
 "Enabling always harms the recipient," Ramsey said.
Dave Ramsey advised that, for the sake of your peace of mind, you'll likely need to take two key steps. First, accept the reality of the situation and make peace with it.
Second, have a clear, calm, and direct conversation with your mother about her behavior and firmly tell her it needs to stop.

In a recent episode, a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/25/07/46678746/dave-ramsey-explodes-over-womans-plan-to-hide-1-million-debt-with-fake-house-deal">caller sought advice</a> on a real estate plan involving her husband&#8217;s family and a $1 million debt. 
In another episode, a woman discovered <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/25/07/46712325/north-carolina-woman-discovers-boyfriends-80000-secret-debt-after-10-years-the-ramsey-show-urges-her-to-walk-away">her boyfriend&#8217;s $80,000 secret debt</a> after a decade-long relationship and turned to The Ramsey Show for urgent advice.

Dave Ramsey Slams 'Parasite' Sister As Woman Reveals Financial Nightmare: Mother Burns Through Nest Egg To Support Jobless Daughter

Patient Baseline and Actual Treatment Situation The interim study collected information on 178 people living with early AD from nine US medical centers using a standardized case report format. The disease stage of the patients at baseline was mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to AD in 57.6% and mild AD in 42.4%. The average age of the patients was 74.2 (±6.6) years, and the ratio of men to women was 44.6 to 55.4.
The mean duration of lecanemab treatment was 375.4 days (± 182.8 days). The mean time from diagnosis to first treatment was 224.2 days (± 295.4 days) and the mean number of lecanemab treatments was 24.8 (± 11.5). At the time of case reporting, 87.4% of patients (152 patients) were continuing treatment with lecanemab. Adverse events leading to discontinuation of treatment included ARIA-E (ARIA-edema/exudation) in two patients (1.1%), ARIA-H (ARIA-cerebral microbleeds, cerebral hemorrhage and superficial hemosiderin deposition) in two patients (1.1%), and concomitant ARIA-E and ARIA-H in one patient (0.6%). Three patients (1.7%) discontinued due to adverse events other than ARIA. In addition, 11 patients (6.3%) reported discontinuing the treatment for personal reasons or at the discretion of their doctor or the individual.
In this study, 83.6% of patients either remained at the same clinical stage or improved from mild dementia to MCI (stable: 76.9%, improvement: 6.7%). Additionally, at time of interim data cut, 86.7% of patients who had received 40 or more doses over 18 months remained stable or showed clinical improvement (stable: 66.7%, improvement: 20.0%:).
Of the 178 patients, ARIA was observed in 23 (12.9%). 14 (7.9%) were observed to have ARIA-E, of which 12 (6.7%) were asymptomatic. ARIA-H was present in 11 patients (6.2%), all of whom were asymptomatic. Infusion reactions were observed in four patients (2.2%). Additionally, no serious bleeding events or deaths were reported.
Impact of APOE4 Status Of the 178 patients in this study, 12 were excluded with unknown status. Among the remaining 166 patients, 30 (18.1%) were APOE ε4 homozygotes, 84 (49.4%) were heterozygotes, 54 (32.5%) were non-carriers. Generally, the proportion of homozygotes among people with AD is thought to be 15% or more.
The incidence of ARIA was 20.0%, 9.8% and 14.8% in homozygous carriers, heterozygous carriers and non-carriers, respectively (45.0%, 19.0% and 13.0% respectively in the Phase 3 Clarity AD 18-month core study). The incidence rate of ARIA-E and ARIA-H were 13.3% and 10.0%, respectively (32.6% and 39.0% in the Clarity AD core study), which is within the FDA-approved label range. The majority of ARIA cases (0.13%) were asymptomatic. The incidence of adverse events leading to discontinuation was 16.7% in homozygous carriers, 2.4% in heterozygous carriers and 5.6% in non-carriers.
73.3% of homozygote patients' clinical stage remained stable or improved (stable: 66.6%, improved: 6.7%), 88.0% of heterozygotes patients' clinical stage remained stable or improved (stable: 83.0%, improved: 4.9%) and 85.2% of non-carrier patients' clinical stage remained stable or improved (stable: 75.9%, improved: 9.3%).
Utilization of Blood-Based Biomarkers (BBMs) BBMs are being developed in AD to identify brain Aβ pathology and are intended for use in prescreening (triage) and confirmatory diagnosis. Of the 178 patients in this study, 49 patients (27.5%) were diagnosed using BBMs. In some of these cases (11 patients, 6.1%), it was also used for confirmatory diagnosis. Data collected from clinical practices showed the volume of tests doubling every 4 to 8 months, with BBMs using p-tau217 growing most rapidly.
Satisfaction with Lecanemab Treatment The results of a physician, patient and care partner lecanemab satisfaction survey was presented. The survey was based on questionnaires and interviews with nine U.S. physicians and evaluated treatment from multiple perspectives, including efficacy, safety and quality of life (QOL).
In the physicians' evaluation, the average satisfaction level for the treatment efficacy and safety (out of 10) was 8.7. The scoring criteria included: cognition 8.1, daily function 8.1, behavioral/neuropsychiatric symptoms 7.9 and QOL 8.0. The satisfaction level of the patients as assessed by physicians was 8.8, and that of the care partners was 8.2. These results highlight the favorable evaluation of lecanemab's efficacy and safety in real-world clinical practice and reinforce its therapeutic value.

Lam Research Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LRCX#NASDAQ">LRCX</a>) is trending on Thursday, following the announcement of its second-quarter financial report.
Check out how <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/LRCX">LRCX stock is trading here</a>.
What Happened: Lam Research witnessed a 5.55% drop to $93.59 during pre-market trading on Thursday. This occurred despite the company&#8217;s strong financial performance in the second quarter.
The California-based semiconductor manufacturing company had announced its financial results on Wednesday for the quarter, which ended on June 29.
Lam Research reported $5.17 billion in revenue, with a GAAP gross margin of 50.1% and an operating margin of 33.7%.
See Also: <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/07/46745168/trump-leaves-good-friend-india-in-the-cold-strikes-trade-deal-with-arch-rival-pakis">Trump Leaves &#8216;Good Friend&#8217; India In The Cold, Strikes Trade Deal With Arch Rival Pakistan Over &#8216;Massive Oil Reserves&#8217;</a>
&#8220;Lam delivered another solid quarter, highlighted by strong gross margins and record EPS,&#8221; said Tim Archer, President and Chief Executive Officer, Lam Research.
Why It Matters: Despite Lam Research's solid second-quarter performance, shares may be slipping due to a cautious third-quarter outlook. The company expects flat revenue around $5.2 billion and earnings per share of just $1.20, with little sequential growth.&nbsp;
Margins are also expected to remain steady, with Lam forecasting gross and operating margins close to recent levels, showing little change from the previous quarter.
Price Action: According to the&nbsp; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/LRCX">Benzinga Pro</a> data, after gaining 0.15%, Lam's stock closed at $99.09 during regular trading hours on Wednesday. The stock's trading range has been between $56.32 and $102.59 over the past year.
With a strong Momentum in the 79th percentile, Benzinga&#8217;s Edge Stock Rankings indicate that LRCX has a positive trend across all time frames. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Know how</a> its momentum lines up with the other semiconductor manufacturers.

Former House Speaker, Rep.&nbsp;Nancy Pelosi&nbsp;(D-Calif.), voiced her support for legislation to ban Congressional stock trading, which was up until recently named after her, called the PELOSI Act. 
What Happened: In a statement on Wednesday, Pelosi came out in support of the bill, now called &#8220;The HONEST Act,&#8221; saying that &#8220;If legislation is advanced to help restore trust in government and ensure that those in power are held to the highest ethical standards, then I am proud to support it,&#8221; according <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/house/5428773-pelosi-endorses-stock-trading-ban/">to</a> The Hill.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46620387/marjorie-taylor-greene-increases-these-2-stocks-in-portfolio-including-this-ai-name-up-over-100-ytd">Marjorie Taylor Greene Increases These 2 Stocks In Portfolio, Including This AI Name Up Over 100% YTD</a>
She further adds that she will come out in support of the bill, &#8220;no matter what they decide to name,&#8221; referring to the fact that the legislation was dubbed the PELOSI Act, up until recently, which stood for Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments.
This was a jab at Pelosi&#8217;s husband, venture capitalist Paul Pelosi, and his high-profile stock trades, which have led to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46043373/nancy-pelosis-portfolio-crushed-wall-street-hedge-funds-with-jaw-dropping-returns-last-year">a significant increase</a> in their combined net worth over the years. 
The name of the proposal introduced by Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) was changed after it became a bipartisan effort, with Hawley working with Democrats to include not just lawmakers, but also Presidents and Vice Presidents. 
Pelosi said in her statement that she appreciates the creativity of her Republican colleagues in drafting legislative acronyms, while adding that she welcomes &#8220;any serious effort to raise ethical standards in public service.&#8221; 
Why It Matters: The combined net worth of the Pelosis is estimated at $413 million, up from a possible $370 million in 2024, with a significant portion of their wealth coming from a substantial stock portfolio and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46043373/nancy-pelosis-portfolio-crushed-wall-street-hedge-funds-with-jaw-dropping-returns-last-year">well-timed trades</a>, according to the New York Post.
A prominent example of the couple&#8217;s stock trade involves the sale of 5,000 shares in Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) shortly before the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced an antitrust investigation into the company. 
It&#8217;s been reported that Pelosi's&nbsp;portfolio gained 65% in 2023 and&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.com/news/25/01/42882348/nancy-pelosi-outperformed-nearly-every-hedge-fund-in-2024-even-beating-the-infamous-inverse-cramer-stock-tracker" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">54% in 2024</a>, leaving several leading hedge fund performances in the dust. 
Besides her, however, several other active traders in Congress have delivered next-level returns over the years, ranging from <a href="https://benzinga.com/25/01/42860759/10-best-stock-traders-in-congress-in-2024-where-do-nancy-pelosi-pete-sessions-susan-collins-marjorie-taylor-greene-rank">70% to 149%</a>, amid growing calls for a ban.

<li>Clinical trials of lecanemab SC were conducted as a sub-study of the open-label extension (OLE) following the core Phase 3 Clarity AD study in individuals with early AD, to evaluate a range of doses administered by SC vial or autoinjector. Eisai has developed a SC-AI for maintenance therapy at a dose of 360 mg weekly and a500 mg SC-AI is being developed for initiation dosing. Similar Impact on Clinical Outcomes and Biomarkers with IV and SC Dosing The pharmacology (PK/PD), clinical (efficacy endpoints such as CDR-SB) and biomarker (amyloid PET and blood biomarkers) relationships established with extensive clinical data supported the FDA approval of IV maintenance therapy after the initial 18 months of treatment and support the investigational SC maintenance dose option. - Data supports that transitioning to a weekly 360 mg SC AI dose of lecanemab after 18 months of initiation dose (10 mg/kg IV biweekly) maintains clinical and biomarker benefits comparable to continued biweekly IV dosing. - Clinical and biomarker responses at 48 months with monthly IV maintenance dosing are similar to the responses with ongoing biweekly dosing whether patients are amyloid positive (&gt;30 CL) or negative (&lt;30 CL) at 18 months. - Data shows the 500 mg SC AI has equivalent exposure as the initial treatment regimen of 10mg/kg IV biweekly up to 18 months for amyloid removal, efficacy, and ARIA-E. Safety Matters The safety profile of 360 mg weekly SC maintenance dosing was shown to be consistent with that of IV maintenance therapy, with &lt;1% systemic injection/infusion reactions. Across all SC doses, the rate of systemic injection/infusion reactions is 1% compared to 26% with IV. The 360 mg SC maintenance dose was initiated after 18 months of IV treatment, beyond the high-risk period for ARIA. There were 0 cases of ARIA-E observed out of 49 treated with 360 mg SC weekly maintenance for a mean of 6 months. Study Participants Successfully Administered SC-AI and Found it Easy to Use To optimize the safe and effective use of SC autoinjector (SC-AI), additional studies were conducted, including a human factors (HF) study and a tolerability assessment of the device. The HF Study involved 110 participants (63 early AD patients, 32 care partners, and 15 healthcare professionals: HCPs) to assess the appropriate administration of lecanemab SC-AI. Overall, 95% (104/110) of participants successfully administered the maintenance dose. The Autoinjector Device Acceptability Study involved 126 participants (25 early AD patients, 50 care partners, and 51 HCPs), to evaluate the device's ease of use, convenience and feasibility of administration. As an interim outcome, over 95% of participants reported that the SC-AI is easy to administer. They were highly satisfied with it and had no concerns about administration, even at home. Furthermore, all patients responded that they welcomed the introduction of SC-AI. These studies and evaluations of lecanemab SC-AI have demonstrated that the investigational SC-AI offers efficacy and safety comparable to IV administration with the potential to reduce the incidence of infusion site adverse events. From the perspective of patients and care partners, benefits included the ability to use the device at home, shortening treatment time, and to continue treatment without having to worry about visiting an infusion center. From the perspective of HCPs, they reported that the device has the potential to provide a new option for patients who are benefiting from lecanemab to continue the treatment. The SC formulation has the potential to reduce medical preparation and administration time related to IV therapy. These factors suggest that the SC AI may play an important role in continuing treatment for early AD.</li>
