In the rise of authoritarianism, it's easy to look at the problem as one of executive aggrandizement: presidents have become too powerful, so it's time to cut down the power of the office. But, the real central issue is the collapse of Congress as a functional legislative body. Fixing it is key.

This would make this at least the 2nd shooting in recent years from someone who was a fan of Infowars. The 2016 Pizzagate shooter was also a known fan of the far-right conspiracy theory outlet. www.mediamatters.org/alex-jones/a...

Leader Thune is blocking critical amendments that would fix the GENIUS Act – including stopping Donald Trump from lining his pockets with shady crypto deals. Democrats have the power to push for fixes to this bill. We should use it.

The DOJ just charged a Russian national with moving hundreds of millions through the system—mostly using a foreign stablecoin called Tether. The GENIUS Act includes a massive loophole that allows Tether to evade basic safeguards. It must not move forward without real fixes.
