At the last minute, Democrats postponed a vote on President Biden’s anti-crypto, climate activist nominees. These votes should be cancelled altogether – and this dysfunction and lack of transparency is just a last gasp of this failed, lame-duck administration. pic.x.com/bd3HGVrgZ0

Always great to join my friend @SenLummis to discuss financial innovation and digital assets! On @BankingGOP, we'll continue fighting for rules and regulations for digital assets that promote innovation, protect consumers, and keep opportunity here in America, not overseas. pic.x.com/rca6qswyz0

The Biden administration wants to impose a 30% tax on bitcoin mining. And @SECGov Chair Gary Gensler has shown hostility to the industry at every turn. We need a regulatory environment that encourages innovation here at home, not overseas. #Bitcoin2024 pic.twitter.com/9QHL5D67W1
