EVERYONE'S TALKING

• The $20 question. In a CNBC interview, U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin declined to say whether he supports his predecessor’s decision to put Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill. “Ultimately we will be looking at this issue," said Mnuchin. "It’s not something that I’m focused on at the moment."

The statement was perhaps unsurprising, given that President Trump has previously expressed his fondness for Andrew Jackson—the U.S. president who would likely be kicked off the $20 to make room for Tubman. While many have argued that Jackson—a slaveholder who proposed removing Native Americans from the U.S.—deserves to be removed, Trump has called the plan to replace him with Tubman "pure political correctness." (The president suggested putting Tubman on the $2.)

Mnuchin's refusal to commit to putting America's most famous abolitionist on the bill carries extra weight in the wake of the president's controversial comments blaming the violence at the white nationalist protest in Charlottesville “both sides.”

As he skirted the question, Mnuchin told CNBC, "Right now we have a lot more important issues to focus on." That may be true, but to dismiss the opportunity to put the first ever black woman on a U.S. bank note as unimportant would be a grave mistake. Fortune

• Catcalls and the Constitution. Novelist and former Bear Stearns exec Maureen Sherry weighs in on the debate on street harassment laws, arguing that the U.S. shouldn't make catcalling and other harassment illegal. "As protected under the Constitution, we have the right, however moronic, to say what we’d like," she writes. "And as much as hearing something repulsive hurts, it’s more important to maintain this right than to make exceptions to it." Fortune

• Looking at transparency. Following yesterday's news that the Trump administration has decided to scrap an equal pay rule enacted by President Obama, the New York Times' Claire Cain Miller digs into the data on pay transparency. Her conclusion: There is evidence that transparency leads to smaller gender pay gaps, though it can also have unintended consequences, like lowering morale or spurring people to look for other jobs.
