I have been working on stablecoin policy for five years. Every word Sen Warren says here is spot on. With this bill advancing, I feel like I’m watching a car crash in slow motion and there’s nothing I can do to stop it. It’s devastating
I’m on the Senate floor right now urging my colleagues to vote no on the GENIUS Act.
There is no excuse for Congress to pass a crypto bill that will turbocharge Trump’s corruption and undermine national security, consumer protection, and our financial stability.

George Santos is being sentenced next Friday. Prosecutors are recommending a sentence of 87 months in prison. To prevent any further "mishaps," Rep. Harriet Hageman will remain in witness protection.

We owe it to those already there to make this right. In whatever equitable way possible.
Re: U.S. CECOT detainees, the main q is NOT 'did they ever allegedly commit a crime?'
Rather: Is the US allowed to deliver them into lifetime imprisonment in a notorious Salvadoran prison camp without charge, trial, sentencing, or consideration of international/asylum/anti-torture law?
Clearly no!

REPORTER: There are laws on the book that make it a criminal offense to harbor illegal immigrants, like sanctuary state leaders have been doing. Do you think they should be prosecuted and possibly put in prison?
HOMAN: Absolutely. And hold tight on that one, because it's coming.

Head coach of MMA Australian team Renato Subotic arrived in the US to teach a seminar. Instead he said he was detained at the border: "No clear explanation, no chance to talk to anyone, no rights. They handcuffed me, put me in a car, and drove me to federal prison."
