Missed this yesterday.
19 Democrats (including Chuck Schumer.....) joined Republicans in voting to repeal a Biden rule requiring cryptocurrency brokers to adhere to the same tax reporting rules as stock brokers.
A yes vote is a pro-fraud, pro-tax-evasion vote here.

YES, mostly. People like @ossoff.senate.gov strategically did not vote for nominees. Similar to @fetterman.senate.gov
I defer to others in this case because I'm unsure.
YES (three columns, alphabetical)
NO (three columns, alphabetical)
Not Voting (three columns, alphabetical)
In MA, there's a phenomenon known as "taking a walk," when a legislator just leaves to avoid taking a "tough" vote, but Congressional absences are mostly just people not being there.

It's absurd AND it gives votes to a coterie. What can possibly motivate them?
That douche
Why are we making this so easy for them to walk over our rights?
Interrogate every congressman who votes with the GOP!
5000 calls to their office asking why?
Don’t look guilty, explain 1st
@schiff.senate.gov
please explain
@schatz.bsky.social - why did you vote for this??
Primary all of them.
Fetterman, Schumer, Booker, Duckworth, Gallego (boy this was a megaton whoops for the Dems)…
Everyone's fine with brokers following the same rules, but you can use crypto without a broker so they'd tried to define unrelated people like free software developers as brokers
Stop expecting those that helped drive the country to this point to help you!!
It’s up to us #EatTheRich
What if you published a blog and I asked you to collect financial data about everyone who visited the blog, none of whom were customers?
There is a reason so many senate democrats voted to repeal this rule--it was a bad and unenforceable rule.

Dems in 2025: We’re as likely to vote for Trump’s nominees and legislation as not, but still give us money anyhow.
primarying these wet noodles is the best lever we have against them
But we're Crypto and AI fucked 7 ways to Sunday.
Hope and pray I'm wrong.
And you constantly talk about screwing over Americans financially
Just Fuck Off
There was no good reason for any Democrat to vote for it.
What you're talking about is a croupier.
These folks should always have been regulated by state gaming commissions.
I’d say a more important constituency than crypto bros but WTF do I know
