As he lets healthcare costs rise & calls affordability a "hoax," Trump's family & friends are cashing in on their connections. Since Trump's reelection, this crypto scheme has made the Trump & Witkoff families $1.4 BILLION richer. And, still, silence from Republicans. wsj.com/finance/curren…

Took stances on a bill between 2025-05-20T00:00:00.000Z and 2025-06-17T00:00:00.000Z
Bill Name
GENIUS Act
Details
The GENIUS Act of 2025 proposes a regulatory framework for payment stablecoins. It defines permitted issuers (insured depository institutions, their subsidiaries, and approved nonbank entities) and mandates 1:1 reserve backing with specific high-quality assets. The bill outlines federal and state regulatory oversight options, sets requirements for customer asset segregation, and grants stablecoin holders priority in insolvency proceedings. It also clarifies that regulated payment stablecoins are not considered securities or commodities under various acts. The bill designates issuers as financial institutions under the Bank Secrecy Act, requiring compliance with AML, KYC, and sanctions regulations to prevent illicit finance and safeguard national security. It also reinforces U.S. leadership in digital finance by supporting innovation and ensuring the dollar remains competitive in a rapidly evolving global financial landscape.

Donald Trump is auctioning off presidential face time to the biggest investors in his personal crypto coin scheme and using the White House for personal profit. Despicable. cbsnews.com/news/trump-coi…
