CBDC is the ultimate surveillance tool — pure tyranny disguised as “progress.” The government could track every purchase you make: guns, church donations, books, meds, and travel. Then freeze your money with a flip of a switch. This isn’t currency. It’s control. BAN CBDC NOW.

The House already passed legislation to permanently ban a CBDC. The Senate must amend the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act with STRONGER language before sending any bill to the House. A permanent prohibition is the ONLY way to protect Americans’ privacy and liberty.

A CBDC is essentially a digital dollar issued and controlled by the Federal Reserve. Unlike cash, it could allow the government to track transactions and monitor how Americans spend their money. That’s overreach at its core!!

Why be bothered with this? A CBDC would give unelected bureaucrats unprecedented power over Americans’ finances and threaten basic economic freedom.

I’m proud to sign onto a letter urging House and Senate leadership to permanently ban a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). Americans deserve financial freedom, not government-controlled money. 🧵THREAD:

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.

Chinese companies must hand over data to the CCP, posing a serious threat to U.S. privacy and national security. Proud that my provision was included in the CLARITY Act to shine a light on how our adversaries exploit digital assets to spy and steal.

A Central Bank Digital Currency would create major privacy concerns for Americans, so I'm proud to co-sponsor HR 5403, the #CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act.

The bill does three things: 1. Prohibits the Fed from issuing a CBDC directly to anyone. 2. Bars the Fed from using a CBDC to implement monetary policy and control the economy. 3. Requires the Fed's CBDC projects to be transparent to Congress and the American people
