It’s a terrible bill that basically endorses Trump’s massive crypto corruption scheme. Democrats will regret voting for it.
Three House Democrats backed by millions from the crypto industry are urging other Dems to support a Republican-led bill to deregulate crypto.
Josh Gottheimer, Ritchie Torres, and Don Davis wrote a letter asking Dems to vote for this bad crypto bill.

A Chicago saint passed away yesterday after a long and incredibly meaningful life. One of the city’s greatest advocates for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Beloved for the energy, skill, devotion and unwavering faith she brought to Misericordia for more than half a century, Sister Rosemary died June 19 at Misericordia. She was 94.

I once received an electric shock during torture only for writing for Radio Liberty: I was told that it was "a CIA structure and an enemy of Russia", and for that reason alone I was already guilty.
Now, the "enemy of Russia" is being destroyed by America itself, and my torture seems doubly in vain.
