Not only is crypto a valuable tool for tax evasion, money laundering, and other criminal activity, the data centers it requires can impact our air, water, and electricity bills. Crypto-miners have actually cost Texans millions when they have to be paid to conserve energy during disasters and heat waves.
We should at least be able to learn the extent of their energy use and environmental damage. But in rejecting my amendment to their crypto tax breaks bill, GOP made clear their view that what you don’t know, can’t hurt you.

That is an absurd position.
If Senators have concerns about the bill, they can offer an amendment after we agree to take it up. That is how the Senate is supposed to work.

View Stance DetailsSection 305 of the Clarity Act needs removed before passage.
Section 305 lets exchanges and stablecoin issuers pause a suspicious transaction for 30 days, extendable to 180 days on a written request from law enforcement. Companies get a safe harbor from civil lawsuits if they ith. Customers may get little or no timely notice or chance to contest the freeze in court first. Effectively, civil asset forfeiture.
The right to transact pre-dates government. It should not be infringed without due process or informed consent.
To abridge this right, they are working to make all payments account-based and permissioned. This completely defeats the point of crypto: permission-less, peer-to-peer payments at the speed of light.

AI model activity in recent weeks has only further highlighted the reality that America must lead in the AI race. Part of that leadership must be commonsense market structure, as we have done with cryptocurrency, to ensure that not only do we have the best models in the world, but we also have the most effective governance structure.
As a former technology entrepreneur, I look forward to working through the Commerce Committee to create commonsense market structure and regulation around AI that does not slow our progress but assures that our progress is responsible.

Right now, exchanges and issuers can’t freeze stablecoins if they suspect illicit activity without fear of a lawsuit.

View Stance DetailsIf this bill fails it won’t be because of ethics, it will be because Democrats didn’t join Republicans in embracing a bipartisan bill that protected consumers, cements America’s leadership in digital assets, and empowered law enforcement to clamp down on illicit finance.
On sues, Democrats continue to demand changes that would give future regulators the ability to kill the crypto industry. If we can bridge those gaps I’m confident we can pass Clarity, but they require further compromise from Democrats, not the White House.

View Stance DetailsInterest rates have two components: time value of money and default risk. If central planners set rates artificially low, inflation goes higher. If markets set rates, they rise to ensure 1) the money lent buys the same amount of stuff when it is repaid (TVM) and 2) default risk the long run, markets set rates.
Default risk higher. TVM higher. Rates will be higher.
Stablecoins may provide some reliefby increasing demand for Treasuries. Stablecoins are theoretically more secure than fractional reserve banking, but yield needs to flow to the bearer for that to be true. Thus the fight about stablecoin yield...

View Stance DetailsWarren Davidson replied to a post from @GareyCozad
Ok, let me be more precise than @grok was, since several people seem to be missing the point cleverly made by @luke_broyles.
Scott has an income of $55,000 per year.
The US collects roughly $5.5 trillion in revenue (taxes, tariffs, etc)
Scott spends $75,000 per year ($10,000 on guns).
The US spend roughly $7.5 trillion per year, more than $1 trillion on Defense.
Scott grows his debt by $20,000 per year.
Total federal debt is growing exponentially, by about $2 trillion per year.
Scott has total debt right now of $400,000.
The US currently has $40 trillion in debt.
Scott has fixed unfunded liabilities of $1,750,000 and is less than 10 years from retirement.
Unfunded liabilities are promises to pay in the future, like Social Security.
Scott's own employees say that his 130% debt will be 690% by the year 2096.
CBO says nothing stops this train, and it's accelarating.
Scott needs to refinance roughly $100,000 in the next 12 months to stay solvent.
Bonds have a maturity date. The US must redeem the bond for its face value. We have no money, so more debt is needed.
What is happening now? Scott has a Japanese friend who is his biggest lender (despite being in even more debt) that just told Scott he might need to unwind $110,000 of Scott's debt to the open market. Therefore Scot sent his Japanese friend "$50-$100" this summer to keep him calm and ask him to not dump the debt.
This is a reference to US actions to deter Japan from dumping Treasuries.
The credit card companies Scott borrows from are refusing to give him cheap debt anymore, and are giving him 19 year highs on interest rates. Scott said on August 19th that because nobody is buying his credit card debt that he will "at least double" the rate he is buying back his own credit card debt with new debt he takes out.
This part relates to Scott Bessent's plan to monetize the debt. Since there are not enough buyers, the Treasury plans to buy back it's own debt. Circle...
The credit card companies didn't like that and offered him even higher rates 24 hours later.
Lenders correctly see this as a sign of distress, making default on the outstanding debt more likely. Consequently, market rates are moving higher.
Sound money is essential to defending freedom. We don't have sound money. Consequences will get worse. Make a plan. Luke's plan is Bitcoin.

James Braid had one of the toughest jobs in the entire Administration as White House Legislative Director and delivered for President Trump at every turn. He played a critical role in all of the administration’s achievements in Congress: largest tax cut ever, resources to carry out President Trump's historic immigration agenda and finish the border wall, defeating two Democratic shutdowns, a landmark first crypto bill, the fastest confirmation of the cabinet in decades and much more.
Not only is James brilliant, he is one of the hardest workers you will ever meet. He’s been with me in every fight I’ve been in, from day one in my senate office through the transition and the President's transformative second term. He has served the President with distinction and I couldn't be prouder of him.
