“God spared my life for a reason.” “I was saved by God to make America great again.” Ever since the assassination attempt in Pennsylvania last year, Trump has been echoing this kind of messianic rhetoric. But lately, he’s not just courting the idea that he’s chosen or anointed, he’s embracing it.

In the debate on the House version of this bill Republicans blocked my amendment to require that cash backing stablecoins must be in insured accounts. They are now trying to put themselves ahead of depositors who do show that prudence. It's all a grift. Thread: www.levernews.com/cryptos-new-...

Here is the video for the world to see. DHS officers came to my Congressional office to intimidate my staff and office. There were no protesters. There was no riot. This is an extraordinary Executive Branch overreach into Congress, a co-equal branch of government and this is totally unacceptable.
