The Senate has just voted to pass the GENIUS Act, despite little in the way of amendments incorporating Democrats’ demanded changes.

Worth noting that this is far from a decisive win. This bill will be back, and soon.

Senators just want their bribes.
Unfrickingbelievable.
🙄😣
- what is the point of regulating an industry when Trump has no interest in regulating anything?
- How long until we get a stablecoin version of LTCM and these same Dems will want a govt bailout?
In the hopes of the former: Please understand that bipartisanship is dead. If the GOP was ever going to swing a crucial vote, we wouldn't have RFK. Give up the idea you can cut that kind of deal & stop passing bad bills that you can't even meaningfully amend.
Make sure EVERY republican has an opponent, America!
I guess she as well as any others just really love unregulated crypto.
It's shameful.
Dems have nothing to politically gain from this, it just shows how fucking inept the party has become
"This is not a serious country, but a country in serious crisis. This is not a sovereign country, but a country under the tyranny of the minority regardless of who is in charge. We have elections, but we do not have choice."

Im aware such a thing seems about impossible to achieve in our current state, but I like to look to the past when things were worse (civil war) and think that there's still hope.
Far too early to say it’s worse than Sinema
No one has the fricken cajones to challenge their leadership?
They suck.

@warren.senate.gov please wrest power from Schumer before it is too late.

thats not how stablecoins work... if it was no one would use them
the way stablecoin issuers make money is by taking in dollars (to match stablecoins mints), parking those dollars in US Treasuries, like t-bills and bonds, and earning yield from those treasuries
More politicians I need to unfollow and block.
They are all the same, aren’t they?
And we wonder why they aren’t doing more. They’re in on it. This is about as sincere as pro-wrestling, with suits, and toothless, corrupt, or absent referees.
It's all an act.
I'm sure going to try and get real democrats to run.
And Booker... before his 24-hour marathon, would totally expect this. also had hoped these horrid 100+ days had changed him... but nope.
okay. the worst of this lot though are easily Gillibrand & Gallego
They are Fawking TRAITORS!

R’s agenda. Advance nothing. This IS the time for an ineffective, do nothing, pass nothing congress.
Kick them OUT!
@ossoff.bsky.social
Please explain.
@ossoff.bsky.social
This is not a way to keep the base you need in the upcoming election.
Is there anything left besides memes at this point?
On the wrong side, again
@padilla.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov
Worse than useless
All your feel good rhetoric and talk of resistance, and you help these fascists with shit like this?
The ads against them should have a link for voters to Open Secrets and other research. People do not understand the extent these folks are captured.
@celesteheadlee.bsky.social
Another Michigan leadership tumor.
Of course Booker would be a yea too there
he's not as bad as the republican he opposed, that's it
The democrats would be better off with a smaller party
Oh.
There ARE.
They're just not part of the capitalist 🤝 State machine.
Get yourself involved with a socialist group.
Plenty of good folks.
WTF? Really hard to fight the corruption if you are also corrupt..........
I hope more folks pay attention to this.
I always say "check thier bank accounts."
A vote against corporate funding IS EXACTLY a vote against fascism.
It's a trinity of resource-depleting, crime-enabling, and fascism-enabling undertakings.
we're so fucked
This Tucsonan is pissed.
And Mark Kelly is still on notice for Laken Riley.
We have open primaries.
We'll get some actual pro worker senators in.

out and then turn around so fast.
Vote them out!
@padilla.senate.gov
WTF??????
According to https://www.followthecrypto.org/ they aren’t even cashing in on the grift. Do they need crypto for bribes from Heisenberg or what?
He'll never get another vote from me.
Only Progressive Democrats are for the people.
And glad to find you here Molly!
Again. Disgusting.
And if it's good, why didn't @kaine.senate.gov vote for it too?
The sooner everyone realizes this, the better. Stop putting hope in people who can’t stand you.
I think the most telling signs legislation is poor is when its being pushed hard by lobbyists from that industry or feels rushed. These are the warnings we should heed. The money trails speak for themselves.
