I have a strong feeling someone is going to step forward to do just that.

Kai, is your interest in seeing a Democratic primary campaign something you would take concrete action of some sort to support?

Congressman Josh Riley voted to help Donald Trump take dark money anonymous cryptocurrency bribes and now he wants my donation. No.

Congressman Josh Riley just texted me asking me for my $$ to defend him from "dark money"...
...but just a few weeks ago, Josh Riley voted for two bills to help Donald Trump keep taking dark money in the form of anonymous cryptocurrency bribes.
No, Josh Riley, you can't have my money.

Serve the people! I love it!
I'm looking for any events meeting constituents here in Upstate New York this August.

Where is Josh Riley? Is he in New York State at all?

Great idea!
Also, I'm trying to find out if Congressman Josh Riley will be having any constituent events at all during the month of August.
I just called his DC Office, and they didn't know of any.

Katie, I understand that feeling of powerlessness.

I try to remember that though I am nearly powerless as an individual, my efforts, when joined with others', can be part of a change.

What's happening right now is thoroughly insane.

When you come here and speak sanely, you make a difference.

The Tompkins County Democratic Committee needs to pay attention to this.

Trump’s Crypto Profiteering Is Worse Than You Think w/ Jacob Silverman Podcast Episode · Tech Won't Save Us · 07/31/2025 · 1h

Congressman Josh Riley of Ithaca has abandoned working people to serve the demands of billionaire cryptocurrency criminals.

Cryptocurrency is Fascism, and Josh Riley is embracing it.

What are you going to do about that, Ithaca? podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Cryptocurrency is a tool of fascism

Cryptocurrency is a tool of fascism.

“Nothing in this bill prevents a taxpayer bailout of crypto.” Stephen Lynch, senior Democrat, US House Subcommittee on Digital Assets. Congressman Josh Riley ignored this warning & joined with Donald Trump to vote for the Stable Genius Act, allowing government bailouts of cryptocurrency crooks

Donald Trump to vote for the Stable Genius Act, allowing government bailouts of cryptocurrency crooks.

Cryptocurrency is fascism. Fascist Bitcoin.

Cryptocurrency is not about decentralization, or freedom, or sticking it to The Man.

Cryptocurrency put Donald Trump in the White House. The #1 use case of crypto is bribing Donald Trump. Other uses? Scamming people.

Cryptocurrency is fascism. Nastycoin. #crypto

www.redbubble.com/i/sticker/Cr...

For the record, fascism is not insignificant.

Nope. I’m not playing the crypto philosophy blah-blah game.

I judge cryptocurrency by what it does, not by what it says it wants to do.

Cryptocurrency supports Fascism, enables corruption, and scams working people.

Cryptocurrency is nasty.

Any Democrat in the House or Senate who voted for the Genius Act deserves to be primaried out of office.

Cryptocurrency = corruption = fascism

Any Democrat who voted for the Genius Act supported fascism.
#cryptocurrency #geniusact #VichyDemocrats

Uh, it's the DE-regulation of cryptocurrency that's corrupt.

Deregulation of cryptocurrency enables the bribery of government officials.

Cryptocurrency is thoroughly corrupt. There is no silver lining to this toxic cloud.

I agree. There need to be primary challengers, who commit to saying no to corruption of the sort that comes with cryptocurrency. If the Democrats won’t hold firm, we need to hold them to account.

So why did Corey Booker vote for the Stable Genius Act, to help Donald Trump keep taking cryptocurrency bribes???

Senator Corey Booker is himself complicit.

What a hypocrite. So disappointing.

Senator Corey Booker says the complicit Democratic Party needs a wake up call... but Senator Booker just voted for the Stable Genius Act, to help Donald Trump keep taking cryptocurrency bribes!

Senator Corey Booker says the "complicit" Democratic Party needs a "wake up call"... but Senator Booker just voted for the Stable Genius Act, to help Donald Trump keep taking cryptocurrency bribes!
What a hypocrite Corey Booker is!
Wake up yourself, Senator!
#CoreyBooker #crypto #corruption

Honestly, 2026 congressional candidates need to talk about how to restore the Democratic Party.
We're having too many Democrats now in Congress taking action to help Donald Trump consolidate his power - as seen recently in the large number of Democratic votes to deregulate crypto.

The problem is that Josh Riley's recent votes for cryptocurrency deregulation - the Digital Market Asset Clarity Act and the Stable Genius Act - don't help working people.
They help cryptocurrency bros, and they help Donald Trump keep accepting cryptocurrency bribes.

Why did Josh Riley do it???

Sean Casten, Vice Ranking Democrat on House Financial Services Committee, warned that “The Genius Act sets the stage for an exponential crisis and allows the President to continue cheapening the office for his own financial gain.” Why did Congressman Josh Riley vote to help Donald Trump accept cryptocurrency bribes by voting for the Genius Act?

Democrat US Rep. Sean Casten warned that the Genius Act creates an economic "exponential crisis" for the sake of Donald Trump's "financial gain".

Josh Riley ignored the warnings, and voted for the Genius Act, which was written by cryptocurrency lobbyists to help Donald Trump.

WHY???
