If you invest in cryptocurrency, your money is more at risk when drug dealers, human traffickers & terrorists use it as well. But @BryanSteil is in charge of regulating it in Congress. Instead of watching out for you, he is for the industry, risking your investment. Swampy.

When crypto tries to buy elections, they piss off those who won’t be bought off. Bad idea by the industry. @BryanSteil may be ok with being bought off. But that’s a losing strategy.

Today would be a great day for @BryanSteil to reject the millions of dollars given to his campaign & spent on behalf by the cryptocurrency industry, he is the chair of the subcommittee that regulates the industry. Crypto - used by by drug dealers, human traffickers & terrorists.

Voted against a bill on

Bill: 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.

@BlueCheese608 Not about me. About negative influence of dark money, now in primaries. Whoever does that is wrong. I fear if they are successful, why wouldn’t the NRA and Big Pharma do it? Right now only AIPAC and crypto are doing it.

.@repmarkpocan during our #DemystifyCrypto hearing: “I spend much of my time thinking about the 40% of people who don’t have $400 in the bank for an emergency expense… What are some of the areas as regulators should be investigating in this space to protect consumers?”
